How would you have felt if Pacquiao was fighting Mike Jones instead of Timothy Bradley June 9th? Mike Jones is 6'0 147 pounder out of Philadelphia he has not really beaten any real elite fighters but imo neither has Timothy Bradley who has beat Devon Alexander and Lamont Peterson neither "elite" imo.
Jones only won a MD over Jesus Soto Karass bc he gassed himself in round 2 throwing a billion punches but won the rematch real easy by Boxing Karass ears off.
Here are his highlights for the 2nd Soto Karass fight.
Mike Jones is highly overrated. Pac and Bradley would eat him up.
I knew it would happen, but I didn't expect to see Jones exposed so soon. Some crash n burn posts in this thread.
Hell no Mike Jones doesnt deserve a shot over Bradley. Back then they didnt know him and now that Bradleys hot they still dont know him. If he want a title shot hes gonna have to move up to 154 to get it.
LMFAO
LOL @ this thread backfiring. Everyone saying he arguably lost to Karass, what happened to styles make fights? Just saying. I don't think Jones deserves a shot at Pacquiao before Bradley. Bradley has a better list of opponents. If anything Jones might fight Pacquiao next.
Bradley is much more proven but Jones would have been OK also. Pac is going to get criticized no matter who he fights. I thought Bradley beat Holt and Witter by a good amount. The Witter fight was in England so you know he won.

No way, jose. Bradley's resume is wayyyyy deeper. Mike Jones has a way to go before he's ready, and I've actually thought TR has been doing a good job by not rushing him into the big time.
Personally, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Berto-Jones next year, but i'm sure it's too risky for Lou and Bob to be remotely interested in.
Nah too early..... I would verbally condemn Pac if this fight was against Mike Jonesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, Only if the there was zero options left then maybe..

idk dude a 6'0 Mike Jones with a good jab and who stays on the outside and boxes compared to a 5'6 Bradley who like to brawl and pressure the type of opponent Pacquiao loves
LOL...he dominated Witter in his own back yard and dropped his ass, Holt loss by UD. Bradley will box circles around Pac...deal with it
Arum would never put Manny in there with Jones, he is too tall and he would Jab Pac to death...that's why they picked a smaller guy moving up in weight.
He lost to Karass, he didn't look great in the rematch. I take it you didn't see how awful he looked against Lujan last time out? Mike Jones will do well to see past a near 40yr old Randall Bailey.
He in noway shape or form deserves a shot at Pac over the likes of Bradley. In fact I think he is one of the least deserving top 10 guys out there.

theres no argument. he won both those fights, and hell NO mike jones doesnt deserve a shot against pac.
im a mike jones fan. I even know the guy. he does NOT deserve a shot over bradley, plain and simple!
Right here. End thread.
Of course not.
Bradley is a much more dangerous fighter. Bradley is also more proven at the top level. Jones is very cautious and would lose to Bradley, he's also unproven. Look at who his next fight is against, the guy is still fighting guys that are more suited for prospects. Bradley has top 3-6 fighters on his resume.
Also, Mike Jones is a top 10 WW by default, 147 is so empty, so Jones stands out, but he really is not a top 10 guy IMO. He's a top guy because of the current WW's available. There's not much there. Paulie Malignaggi is more proven than him and he's some how over Paulie. I don't know how.
he got knocked down twice in that fight against Holt
i did'nt say he did'nt.....the first one being legit but came back and outworked holt...sh1t, i dont even seea single person arguing this sh1t here, not one just you...
Timothy Bradley arguably lost to Kendall Holt and Junior Witter.
theres no argument. he won both those fights, and hell NO mike jones doesnt deserve a shot against pac.
