    Roach trying to get Bradley as a sparring partner for Pac. I think this will be a good move for Pac. I can see Bradley giving Pac the business in sparring. I think he will accept, just to see how he measure up to Pac. What yall think about this move? Roach also think this will better prepare Pac for Mayweather. He said he will stop Mayweather early, or UD. Roach is tripping if he think he will stop Mayweather early.

    THis would be great for both guys. Bradley could give Pac a glimpse of how tough PBF is going to be. However Bradley is alot more active than PBF. IM sure we are going to hear alot of great things from sparring.

    Bradley really is a poor man's version of the mayweather that fought Corley. He would make a terrific sparring partner. Between him and Khan Pac should be very well prepared. PS Freddy isn't an idiot when he predicts an early Mayweather KO. Frankly I think it is much more likely then a mid rounds or even late KO. Mayweather almost always takes several rounds to adjust to his oppentes punches. Just look at the Judah fight. So logically if you were going to get him in trouble it would be early.

    Bradley is a great addition to team pacquiao, coz his a slick fighter
    But regarding Roach prediction on stopping Floyd early, I'm not sure of it. Floyd can also win a K.O.
    Let's wait and see what will be the outcome

    Ain't going to happen man :lol: Pac been Ko'ing fighters that come foward, and have no defense. Mayweather don't take that long to adjust. Mayweather took over the Judah fight after the 4th round. That was part of his stradegy to give possibly the first 3 rounds. He knew pressure would fold Judah. U forget that Judah and Mayweather were great friend before that fight, and train and sparred together. So they knew each other. People tend to forget this.

    there is nothing demeaning of being a sparring partner for a high quality fighter prepping for a huge fight.

    It's also Roach and Pacquiao giving him a lot of respect to want to bring him in.

    No its not, for a fight of this magnitude.

    Sparring partners for both these fighters are about to make bank prepping for this fight, the bigger the name the more $$$.

    Bradley trains out of so.cal with Pac, he can and will want to test himself against someone who is at a step higher than him with no risk at all. The only logical reasoning as to why Desert Storm would reject it is the same as Berto, if he sees a possible bout with Pac in the future,

    hahahaha...Khan, Berto, and now Bradley. Sounds like they are desperate and scared. It's going to be a joyous day when Floyd embarrasses Manny in the ring.
