    Choosing to rematch a fighter whom he already won a near shutout decision against? What kind of legacy builder is that? :patsch

    Take note I think Brady has an excellent resume, I think Peterson is a very good fighter. But bradley already has been there, done that!

    I guess Pacquiao doesn't think in the same fashion as Bradley does.

    There just aren't many option for him. If Marquez didn't get the Pac fight, he'd likely be facing the same or lesser competition while he waits for the Pac fight.

    The sad story of a strong headbutting champion who can't sell a ticket.


    Kind of expected.

    I actually thought Provodnikov was getting his chance?

    What do you expect?.... No one really wants to watch Bradley and he isn't a Big name.

    Especially the decision he got against Pacquiao, more people have just lost respect for Bradley.

    Manny ran away. Floyd is too scared. Berto is fighting K9 for a shot at Canelo or Mayweather and Ortiz is still recuperating.

    It's the best fight available. He tried to get a Pac rematch. All the other top guys at 140 or 147 are already booke other than Guerrero (a super featherweight who barely squeaked out a win against a basic C level fighter his last time out) and Andre Berto (who's coming off a drug suspension and doesn't seem to be interested in making a tough fight).

    What's he supposed to do? Not fight at all? Shitload better than Provodnikov.

    It could be a good fight, stylistically...but Peterson should be serving a ban

    Why should Peterson serve ban? He has pretty much been out of commission for a year and it isn't like he had a weapon in the ring.

    Forever being called a cheater is punishment enough.

    I'm not crazy about a rematch but Peterson is still a good fighter. Since their first fight Peterson's had a draw with Ortiz and beat Khan so he's probably considered a better fighter now than he was the first time.

    I thought Bradley would end up facing Provodnikov since he's a safer fight and Bradley would then be lined up to face the Pac-JMM winner or the Rios-Alvarado winner. Peterson is better than Provodnikov, and Bradley would get more credit for beating Peterson a second time than he would by beating Provodnikov.

    This is how Arum operates he knows that PEDerson has no chance so he made the fight, the POS tried to get Cotto to rematch Pac at a catchweight, Now Manny already beat him so why the **** does he need an advantage? Arum is a cancer to the sport

    Is this sarcasm? You do know Pacquiao's obvious first choice for November was Cotto, right?
