    I guess most people will say Bradley which is fair and even though pac lost most would disagree with the fact he lost.


    Depending on BR reacts after getting hit in the face could result in a very interesting night and potentially a long night for pacquiao.

    yeah I did. but if rios has that "ill die in the ring" attitude after getting hit one time and can land some punches on pacquiao it could be interesting.

    Rios always has the die in the ring attitude. But that doesn't matter if he doesn't have the speed or ring generalship necessary to catch Pacquiao. Only way he pulls it off is if Pacquiao is a shot fighter off the Marquez TKO and age.

    TIMOTHY BRADLEY: I came into the Pacquiao fight in the best shape of my life. I trained extremely hard for that fight. I remember it being around the 4th round – I was exhausted – after four rounds! I am in the best shape of my life and I am exhausted. Pacquiao drops so many feints on you and he keeps you so tense – he hits hard with both hands – you always have to be alert and it drains you as a fighter.

    I thought Pac came in much better shape and looked a lot more explosive against JMM, but that didn't end too well.

    Besides Bradley, Clottey was still pretty highly regarded when he fought Pac.

    If he wasn't ready he wouldn't have fought on despite his injuries.
