    If Bradley said that, then I have to agree also..............

    I have to say, Thurman Garcia was an interesting match for the WW division.

    Thurman got a great victory and looked excellent in spots. During the first 3 rounds I thought he was going to humiliate Garcia. But Garcia showed grit and tenacity and really quite excellent counter-punching - and I came away with a higher opinion of Garcia ultimately.

    Regarding Thurman vs Pac - yeah, Thurman boxing like he did vs Garcia would be trouble for an aging WW like Pac - however, let's remember that Thurman was hurt pretty significantly by Collazo and Pacquiao is so far above that level that it makes Pacquaio a compelling pick against a prime Thurman. If Manny can pressure him and unload, while using angles there is every chance that he could beat Thurman by UD.

    My gut feeling is that Brook will emerge as the top dog at WW post Pac if he can remain there that long - which is doubtful.

    Strictly cheerleader, neither pac nor especially timmie could be truly competitive vs the top 5 ww's, timmie loses very badly to all and some even outside the top 5.

    Pac couldn't beat thurman, brook and guaranteed bad loss vs Spence. Dsg and khan are pick em but mops up the rest

    What year was it exactly when Bradley "PROVED" himself to be a top 5 ww ? Obviously I missed that year because losing bad to pacs twice and edging a Jmm who never did a thing at ww isn't proving ****

    I disagree.

    Bradley - beats Garcia, beats Khan, toss-up with Brook and Spence, loses to Thurman
    Pac - beats Garcia, KO's Khan, toss up with Thurman, Spence and Brook I have no clue (that fight will teach us so much about each man, hence it being so compelling).

    Bradley probably one of the most ripped guys in boxing, how can he be fat? As for midget, well JMM, PAC, cotto, Duran, Chavez sr are all pretty much the same height as Bradley so I don't think that means anything.

    Bradley outboxed a rampaging, roided out JMM who was coming off of the KO of the Century.

    A legitimate ATG win over a chemically enhanced ATG who was punching with thunderous force.

    I see Manny at this stage beating Garcia (too stationary)
    and stopping Khan (not elite).
    Manny can't beat Thurman, Brook or Porter.

    Neither Thurman nor Brook are sitting ducks, they won't come
    to him, are much larger, and very well coordinated. Young Manny
    struggled somewhat with boxers, why on Earth would old Manny
    not?

    Porter, I just think it's a case of Manny not being able to handle
    a young strong guy for all 12. He wouldn't get stopped but I see
    him getting worked over. I'd never say a brawler would normally
    have a chance vs. Manny but Porter's a weird brawler. He has
    very quick feet and can close distance fast. This pick is strange because
    up until a couple years ago, I'd have never envisioned Porter beating Manny,

    Incidentally, I think Thurman, Brook, Porter, and Garcia all beat Bradley.

    When he was cheating he would have beat all three, how can he lose all his power in the blink of a eye.

    Lost all his power, yet guys are still too afraid to try and walk him down and destroy him?

    He was absolutely destroying top fighters a few years back and all of a sudden he can't bust a grape. Who is ducking him anyway ?
