Timothy Bradley refuses to be a sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao.

i really don't buy the whole 'future fights' excuse. how many tendencies might a few sparring sessions expose to roach that YEARS worth of footage wouldn't?

There is no amount of footage that can make up for actual experience.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Personally..I think Bradley could beat Pacquiao at 140lbs..

but I also thought Cotto could beat him so what do I know right?..

good point, but its not like he'll be sparring khan...isnt THAT the fight that is most likely to happen...cause i doubt bradvpac will ever happen.

Yeah but as the main guy at 140lbs, unbeaten.. in bradleys mind, it is very likely to happen.

Especially if Pac is beaten soundly and they rethink staying at 147.

If Pac ever goes back to 140lbs, it will be Bradley.

I doubt that fight majorly. I think marquez may be wrapped up, at 36 and above his prime weight I just don't see him being viable. I am not even sure he gets past his next fight. I am a big marquez fan, but I just think he is out of his element above 130lbs. People forget, he was almost stopped and went life and death by a light puncher in Juan Diaz, who was just dominated by Paulie.

did you just compare manny to royalty???jesus christ tell me you're joking

you know what hes talking about, dont play ****** that youre asking for further clarification, thats a lame retort.

Tim has a right to say no in my opinion. If he views him self as a an Elite fighter (which i think he is) then let him do whatever. I also think he's missing out on some good experiance though. But, as stated earlier..It's Khan who he's concerned about i think. Not Pac. Roach stated Pac is not going back down to 140.

[Dirt]

By your standards... There is only 2 elite fighters in boxing then.


Yes, Bradley is an elite fighter.

Pac and floyd are just 2 examples, not the only 2. bradley is not on that level yet.
