    The down side with Bradley is that he is a light welterweight. He is however just a half inch shorter than Pacquiao and has a 2 inch reach advantage over him. It is also normal for boxers to move up in weight.

    Who moves up to 147 to fight one of the best boxers in the business?
    That's a mistake, you have to adjust.

    Well yes, if i could choose his opponent and its not mosley then it would be PW, but PW hasnt even been brought up but the powers that be.

    as much as i reckon hed beat bradley. at least its more realistic than JMM coming up to WW. im in favour of this fight

    yeah yeah ideally he`d fight a top WW or martinez or williams up at light middle - but hopin for him to do that is a bit optimistic isnt it?

    You're a failure at every attempt to be funny or insulting.

    Bradley is a small Jr. Welterweight.

    Too early to feed him to the wolves. I like Bradley but he is not ready yet to fight at 147.

    They are probably in the minority. Fact is, Bradley is another smaller fighter who would have to move up. PBF won't get much credit for this fight. Nor should he.

    tho i'd like to see floyd fight a tru WW, i wouldn't mind seeing bradley vs floyd, but my preference would be for floyd to make a statement by fighting paul williams.
     

  11. Bradley has more fights at Welterweight than Hatton did.
     
  12. Small??????? Compared to who?

    Short? Yea, but small?

    I wouldn't have a problem with Floyd fighting Bradley ideally at Light welter but that won't happen. Watched Bradley vs Petersen yesterday and was impressed. Floyd is not exactly a physically imposing fighter and for a change Bradley is an opponent with his future still in front of him. I think i'd favour Floyd but Bradley could make this interesing and he hasn't really got anything to lose. It would be a tough fight, but great learning fight for him and if he's a real champ he can always come again. History shows us that plenty of great fighters have come back after losing to top fighters that were better at that time in their career.
    I'd love to see Bradley spring a surprise.
