    While I think his lack of power will ultimately cost him the fight, I dont think Pac will walk over him. Bradley can trouble Pac with his decent footwork, jab and handspeed.

    It's just that Bradley does everything well, but nothing great, and I dont see him knocking Pac out.

    If he doesnt KO Pac, he wont win, plain and simple. :deal

    Who the hell ever called him a ducker in the first place? He would have been insane to take a fight with Kahn when Pac was talking about fighting him. That's just common sense.

    He's established himself as the best at 140 and the legit champ, beat Witter and the very dangerous Kendall Holt, then took out Peterson and Alexander when everyone still thought they were going to be the next big thing. Khan didn't really come up to the forefront until Pac was already talking about fighting him. He's earned the shot more than anyone else at 140.

    I'd rather see Pac take on Martinez at 150 and beat the living **** out of him, but Bradley is a very high quality fight I'd love to see. All this is assuming he gets past JMM of course.

    I see a white wash if this fight ever happens. Tim's footwork isn't that good and he's got spotty "D" which PAC will exploit naturally with is fluid combination punching. PAC's foot work is a LOT better than Tim's which will allow PAC to control range and pace. You control both of those aspects of a fight and it's a wrap. As long as Tim doesn't run and fight in "survival" mode he's not seeing the 12th round.

    I'd much rather PAC fight a guy who will really test him...like Sergio or Floyd.... but Floyd's not willing to fight PAC and Sergio thinks PAC is too small. The 150 lb proposal seemed a bit desperate by Martinez but I'm still going to watch the fight.

    Tim's a good fighter...he's one of the best at 140...but Khan is better in my opinion which is why Tim ducked him. He's a jr Welter Weight...not a full Fledged Welter Weight which is also going to be a factor. While Tim may be the best option as a JR WW fighter.......that's not saying too much. In my opinion Khan has a better case for a fight with PAC...but we know that won't happen.

    Khan hasn't beaten anyone but Maidana, Bradley has a MUCH better case for getting the fight. I don't think that can really be argued. As far as Bradley 'ducking' Khan... Alexander was supposed to be just as good as Khan when Tim fought him, and Peterson was considered up there around that level as well. Tim doesn't duck anyone. He can make x amount of dollars fighting Khan, or he can make !XXXXXXX! amount of dollars fighting Pacquaio with the added bonus of becoming a world famous super elite fighter if he manages to win. Which fight would you take?

    As far as the fight happening at 140, I wouldn't be surprised if Pac could still comfortably make LW. You can't consider him a true WW, he just jumps around from LW to WW taking the best big money fights he can make. 140 is def a legit division for him.

    ALSO, Sexy Sergio doesn't think Pac is too small, he wants the fight BECAUSE Pac is small. I wouldn't want to see Pac try to fight a middleweight, but if Sergio wants to drain himself to nothing to make 150 and get brutalized by Pac then **** it, let him.

    Khan beat Zab who is better than Alexander...better than Holt or anyone else on Tim's resume.....plus Marcos! It's no competition in my opinion. We'll have to agree to disagree on who is more deserving of a MEGA fight...Tim or Khan.

    For sure..PAC can make 140 comfortably but there's no competition for him at that weight...there's no one bringing the kind of money that would see him go out of his way to drop down to 140....but there's no question he can do it....but PAC is fighting for money and legacy....two things Tim doesn't bring to the table. Now that he's with TR....the fight is easier to make. Tim doesn't have a belt at 140 anymore either.

    Sergio at 150 is still more of a threat than Tim at 140 in my opinion....but PAC could very well beat Sergio if the fight is held at a fair "middle ground" with regards to weight.

    I would guess that Alexander and maybe even Peterson would still be betting favorites over Zab if they fought tomorrow.
