By Tim Sladeck,
I just received a text message from a top member of Team Pacquiao- He stated to me it has been confirmed.
Manny Pacquaio will be fighting Timothy Bradley on June 9th 2012
Floyd Mayweather Jr will be fighting Canelo Alvarez on May 5th 2012
Let the Festivities begin.
lol, I knew it.
Mosley wasn't slick, and now Bradley isn't slick.
Is Mayweather the only 'slick' fighter left in the game? :)
Who actually said he was? You do know the traits of an elusive fighter right?
Nah, I'm in that same group.
Actually I'm in a minority of people who think Bradley will beat Pac
I think that Roach and Arum feel that Bradley won't be able to hurt Pac and as a result, they will sleep on Bradley expecting an easy win. Fight night will prove to be a nightmare for Pac, I will be pulling for Bradley and think he can do it.
I just don't see Bradley being much of a threat to Pac at 147. I don't even think he'll be much of a threat at 140, but hey.
If they do OSDT, it might be a whole different story.
Anyone know the supposed testing requirements?
still living in the past huh?
If that's how it pans out, then fine. I am actually fine with Pac fighting Bradley. Finally he gets in the ring with a black, fast, prime undefeated fighter. Personally I know I am the minority but I think Bradley beats Pac. Notice I said beats...not wins. Because even if Bradley "beats" Pac and it goes to decision, he will get robbed and it will go to Pac. The only way Arum/TR (+judges) will allow Pac to lose is if its taken out of their hands (stoppage/KO) or it is utterly one-sided like Floyd/JMM was, something like that. I am not saying Bradley will win, but even though I am not a fan of his...people really do underestimate him and his style. He has no real power...but he is strong, gritty, determined and has enough speed/pop to keep people honest. I think once people get in the ring with Bradley they realize he is better than they thought. Bradley is not a true WW though....but hey I will take it. Pac may actually fight a brotha finally hahaha!
Canelo/Floyd...meh I mean I'll take it I guess. Since Arum won't let Manny fight Floyd, guess it doesn't matter who it is. At least Canelo is undefeated and beaten some name fighters. Also Canelo is a JMW too, so at least Floyd is not fighting someone smaller, he is still taking a real challenge.
