      Once was enough for Pac
      Horn was all for it

      It's a silly notion that every L has to have a rematch. Pac beat plenty of guys once and moved on. We didn't need 3 Pac vs Timmys

        3rd fight was totally unnecessary. Arum was basically implying, although not officially announcing that it could be Pac's retirement fight. He clearly said that to get more buys.

        Funny enough, I believe Pac was the favorite going in, but a decent amount of people thought Pac was done and Bradley would pull off a decision. Then the fight it ended up being even more of a decisive win for Pac than the first two fights.

          It was the most unnecessary trilogy since Bernard Hopkins VS Robert Allen.

          Not sure if you remember but Allen was this completely unqualified fighter who kept coming back and becoming a mandatory for Hopkins. It became laughable. I remember when De La Hoya and Hopkins shared the same card and if they both won then they’d face off. Lampley and Merchant spent the entire fight trashing how horrible the fight was. Alphabet titles are ****. I miss HBO.

              Do yourself a favor and ask yourself what exactly (and in as much detail AS YOU CAN STAND) has Pac ever done that was so special.

              Out here, Pac fans are all about blanket statements. Never details.

                Jones KO’d barrera but Pac-Barrera was a great victory imo

                  Technically it was a dq I was just baiting

                  Pretty sure it was Devon Alexander that first kod barerra

                    Because Arum was matchmaker and he gives us the fights the public really wants to see, like Pac-Bradley 3 and Crawford vs Jose Zepeda

                      Better yet, whenever Pac is satisfied is when the series ends
