Pacquiao deserves much respect for fighting Bradley

Tim Bradley hasn't faced anybody worth mentioning.

FWIW it's only Floyd fans trying to trash this fight. The problem is that they are the biggest, loudest and most ignorant fan base on this site. Also, Cotto vs Mayweather is pure sh1t and is no better than Pacquiao vs Mosley. Those same guys hyping that up where the same ones bashing a potential Cotto vs Pacquiao fight, but as soon as Floyd signs to fight him, Cotto is a new fighter and is in his prime. Pacquiao fans were embarrassed by a potential Cotto rematch and I was close to going H.A.M. on Manny and Arum if that sh1t went down....but some how Floyd fans think a Cotto fight is the best thing since sliced bread.

The only one out of the loaded 140 division that I thought was better than Bradley was Amir Khan, but after the Peterson bout, my mind changed completely. Now I know styles make fights, but Peterson fought a style similar to Bradley's and gave Khan all types of problems, even without Bradley's superior head movement and quick feet. Truth is Bradley is better than Khan, Peterson, Ortiz, Berto and just about anyone 147 and below, is undefeated and in his prime. This fight is on par with Pacquiao's fight against Cotto in 2009.

Its the best fight outside of Mayweather.

Define recent loss. Last I checked he has a 3 fight ko streak. Well it shouldnt be up to me to define what is considered a recent loss. But when Pac beat Hatton, Hatton was considered to be coming off a recent loss to Floyd. Hatton had 2 decent wins since losing to Floyd and Cotto has had 3. wins since losing to Pac. Cottos loss to Pac was quite brutal, whereas Hatton said the Floyd fight werent that hard. He had been in tougher fights than Floyd, but Floyd was a difficult guy to fight. Im sure Hatton learnt a lot from a loss from the likes of Floyd. If you cant learn from the likes of having fought Floyd then somethings not right.

pac hasn't fought a young, prime and undefeated black-american fighter...that's the battlecry of haters not a long time ago. too bad for them it's about to happen. lmao true...but pac haters are still finding ways to say this is the worst fight ever.

The only people hating on Mayweather-Cotto at 154 and Pacquiao-Bradley are the bias haters of both guys. Both are good fights, the best of what was available at this time by far, besides each other. yes both are good fights imo...mayweather vs cotto is a bit late, but i don't consider cotto to be shot or that much past prime; so it's still good to me.

Yep, Pac definitely got my respect, Too bad people would say Bradley is a light-welterweight.

pac hasn't fought a young, prime and undefeated black-american fighter...that's the battlecry of haters not a long time ago. too bad for them it's about to happen. Too bad for them, nah too bad for Pacman.

Bradley isnt no slow leak. Hes never showed that he may be shot. he is undefeated and ranked #1 in his division. He can fight and he is a well tuned athlete. number1 in which division?

Most boxing experts know its a hard task to take on Bradley, most casual boxing fans don't even know who Bradley is... so a lot of risk and little reward, yet Pacquiao is taking heat from a lot of idiots about this fight. PAC don't get no respect. He choose to fight Cotto but got rejected so Bob gave Bradley his guaranteed signing bonus. Pac would of got respect if he stood up to his promoter and demanded a Mayweather fight.

Pacquiao isn't taking the heat. Its you Pacquiao fans who called Bradley a coward for supposedly not fighting Khan. Can anyone say hypocrites?

The only people hating on Mayweather-Cotto at 154 and Pacquiao-Bradley are the bias haters of both guys. Both are good fights, the best of what was available at this time by far, besides each other. Pac should get respect because if the ball was on the other foot and Floyd fought him, Flomos would be saying Floyd fights unbeaten fighters, Pac fights people coming off recent losses. ANd dont deny it Floydies. And while were on the subject Floyd is fighting someone coming off a recent loss in Cotto. Define recent loss. Last I checked he has a 3 fight ko streak.

The bold is untrue, however the rest is right. I commend Pacman for fighting Bradley because it seems that most fight fans still have no idea about who bradley is. (I mean they know him but think he's some unskilled swarmer or some $h!t). This fight is easily 50% losable for Pacman. I actually expect Bradley to look spectacular against him to the shock of many.

Why does Pac deserve much respect? I'm not going to a fighter of his level, who will make the millions that he will makes props for doing something that he should be doing in the first place. Maybe if the fight was on regular HBO or even network TV then he might deserve much respects and props. But, for this? No. This is what he should be doing.

definitely ...... he's a better opponent than Mosley and Margarito

they both took the next best fights without actually fighting themselves. no props needed at all deal with it
