    If Pacquiao ever faced the winner of Bradley/Campbell....

    I know the chances of making this fight are slim to none, but if Manny ever faced the winner and beat him decisively, would that add anything to his legacy in your mind (e.g. would you hate him less/respect him more)?

    I think that some people would just say that Campbell was over the hill or Bradley was untested against the elite, but I would definitely give him as much if not more credit for that hypothetical win than his KO 2 win over Hatton.

    Your thoughts?

      Bradley would be a good win. He's young, undefeated and capable of doing big things in the future.

        and also, if pac barely gets credit for beating oscar, hatton imagine what would his critics say after beating these 2 class = B fighters

            honestly, hes class = B. but hes a bigger guy and also the lineal champ at 140 and pac went to fight him right away without any tuneups. so we can take that into consideration

                Both are good, credible wins against still fully able fighters

                  why do you think he went straight into a hatton fight without tuneups at that weight, but didn't do so @135? a bigger guy with 3 belts when the reward was there? campbell and bradley both beat hatton.
