    i hope this fight doesn't happen, and roach really could have pulled the plug (convinced manny) after viewing tape


    but i dunno

    I just want pac - bradley

    floyd - someone that doesn't suck

    Its definitely adding another negative twist to this whole deal, but its a smart move. Malignaggi is even a bad style matchup, but hes smaller than Foreman.
    Hopefully the Mayweather fight isnt dead yet.

    Foreman is fighting Cotto in March according to B-Scene.

    So of course he's not going to fight Manny.

    Actaully there was an interview here yesterday that showed that PAC himself was worried about the height of Foreman, which is odd being that he is about the same size as Oscar...Cherrypicking :think

    I think it's ****ed up that people want to see Pac vs Bradley.

    Bradley is not ready for Pacquiao.

    I think I was probably the first to call that one a cherry pick. Roach knew Oscar so he knew what he would be up against. But, at that point, it looked like a one time deal going up in weight.

    I agree, JMM wants the fight. It was the only reason that he took the fight with Floyd

    "Since the man that they say is the best fighter in the world is scared to fight me, I will fight the "REAL" best fighter in the world"--JMM :lol:

    I see you are already making excuses to not give Pac credit if a fight with Bradley does happen. :rofl:rofl:rofl Good stuff.

    "Look I said this back in january he wasn't ready!!" :nut

    Come on, Bradley is a unifed champion and the number one guy at his weight.

    I do think that Pac would beat Bradley, but if Bradley isnt ready now he isnt going to be later. Plus you cant pass up paydays like this. I dont think that Bradley could get manny money fighting anyone other then Floyd. He has to take the fight if its offered.

    As a fan of boxing but not necessarily Pac, I'd pay to see JMM, Bradley (would be a good fight, don't agree with those who say he isn't ready), or a big welter like Clottey.

    That makes NO sense. Cotto probably wouldn't be able to start training for a couple more weeks even because of the Pac fight, AND his dad just died, plus now it's likely that there will be two other PPVs that month. He's not making a fight for as soon as March.

    If PAC/JMM3 happens, why is this any different from picking on a lightweight that Floyd was dubbed with?

    If this is a serious question, you should stop watching boxing immediately.
