    And Bradley was never an option for Pac because he'd give him hell in the ring. In reality neither of these fights will happen because Bradley is too good.

    But for me Bradley is the only guy who Floyd could fight that would make me not watch Pacquiao first.
    If you ask boxing fans on this site about a match between Pacquaiao and Bradley, they will tell you that it's not competitive.

      Oh HELL YES.

      There is more of a tension in that fight. IMO, a guy like Clottey has always come up a little short against top guys. And Pac is the top of the top. But with Bradley and Mayweather, we are seeing more athleticism in the ring than we've seen in a very, very long time.

      I think Bradley would give Floyd fits.

            Yeah I'm a Mayweather stan lol. it's funny how a guy on here actually plays both sides of the fence and he's either a Pac hugger or a Mayweather stan.

            Listen the only fighter I'm a fan of is Cotto and I picked Pac to KO him from the get go.

            You know why? Because size is overrated. It's why Bradley would be far more competitive than Cintron even though he's much smaller. Of course Floyd needs to fight a WW, but in this case Bradley is the better opponent WW or not.

              There'll be more action in the Clottey vs Pacquiao fight. Bradley vs Mayweather could end up being boring as hell due to their styles.

              Ill be watching Pac vs Clottey

                Exactly. Bradley is skilled, cagey, active. He'll give Floyd his biggest "boxing" test since Judah at least. Why not watch Floyd have to think for once?

                I'm all for him fighting bigger fighters too, but Bradley is hard to hurt anyway. it's not like FLoyd will force his size on Bradley lol.

                  Didn't call you a stan, said you're speaking like a stan. Little different.

                  Size may be overrated but it does have an affect, otherwise we wouldn't have weight classes. Either way, my point was Bradley has yet to prove he can compete with A or A+ class fighters.

                  Skill can overcome size, however, Bradley has neither the skill or size advantage against May.

                  Damn, mixed up my posts.

                  Bradley only has 25 fights under his belt, best win was turned to a no contest. He's working his way up the p4p list but doesn't belong in the ring with any top 5 WW's yet. Good fighter but he needs a few years before he's ready for this level, especially since he's the smaller man.

                    I'd take Bradley vs Mayweather over Pacman vs Clottey any day of the week. Bradley is a skilled fighter who could give Mayweather some problems.

                    He's the best bet for a good fight with Mayweather along with Cintron (to a lesser extent).

                    Clottey provides nothing more than a walking heavy-bag for Pacman.

                      Bradley is ****in huge at JWW. He can muscle most guys around and he has. He will definitely end up at WW at some point, IMO.
