Who has the best chance at beating Pacquiao?

you must be high if you can't recognize talent in the ring when you see it. and witter was ranked #2 JWW behind Hatton before he lost. but its funny you say top10 to make the win less impressiveComment

i agree some people are getting a bit ahead of themselves on the Bradley bandwagon, but from what i've seen of him i can objectively say he'd be a tough fight for anyone around 140 or below... very awkward to beat
i would of course make Pacquiao the heavy favourite if the fight were to ever happen though, his new improved footwork would be too muchComment

He would have to as Hatton would murder him in a boxing match. Who the **** has Bradley ever beaten? Oh, yeah.. the mighty Junior Witter. On a bad day. OK, in view of other comments that is a littel unfair on Witter and maybe Bradley too, but no sane person could see a win over Witter as indicative of a good chance of beating Hatton, let alone "kicking the **** out him". Just more American wishful thinking.
Out of that lot, only Hatton and (remotely) Campbell. And my money would still be on Pacquiao. I think folks are underestimating the shape he was in for the DLH fight.. wasn't he supposed to be something like 148 actually on fight day? He's put on muscle, gained power and lost no speed or (visibly) stamina. He would eat Bradley for lunch.Last edited by The_Visitation; 12-10-2008, 02:38 PM.Comment

I'd probably take Bradley stylewise. I think Pacquiao is going to eat Hatton up by the late roundsComment

I think he only uses that footwork when an opponent is a lot stronger and slower then him like De La Hoya. We won't see that in many other matches with him. I think he will save that energy for his punching power.i agree some people are getting a bit ahead of themselves on the Bradley bandwagon, but from what i've seen of him i can objectively say he'd be a tough fight for anyone around 140 or below... very awkward to beat

Yeah but Witter was generally ranked as the number 1 contender to Ricky Hatton. Bradley flew across the pond and beat him in his home town, with zero experience at the world class level. That says a lot, that and the fact that he is a boxer with good defense who doesnt take a lot of shots.
Bradley is hell for anyone at 140 right now, Hatton also has a good shot of beating Pac, even the Juan Diaz and Nate Campbell have the tools to give Pac problems.Comment
