    Bradley is tailor-made for Manny Pacquiao. This **** would look like Trinidad vs Reid in which an young up an coming fighter gets ruined by a superior fighter.

      Nothing is wrong with Examiner if you just use it for real quotes that they get, cant dispute quotes.... its all the other stuff in between thats garbage, to many over the top opinions.

        If Kendall Holt who has little power at 140 can knock Bradley down twice than what pac would do to Bradley at 147? I think Bradley would need to fight a tatical fight in the inside and than clinch alot to avoid counters. Bradley is short and not great reach he has great assets but needs to fight a more cautious fight than he is use to.

            Do you remember once upon a time. I was saying that Braldey would give Pac hell. That I wouldn't even be surprise that he would beat Pac. And, you said I was crazy?

              the fight would have probably been at 140. u do realize pac is a 140 fighter too rite??? Edit:and so what kendall holt beat bradley up. even if braley lost, and my money would have been on pac in tht fight, i would still have rather saw that fight than clottey. ti would have been wayyy more competitive as long as it lasted.

                i said a long time ago that Bradley was a better fight for Pac than Clottey. Check my posts around the time the whole Pac-mayweather negotiations broke up. I made a list of the best opponents between 140-147 for Pac and Bradley was on the list.

                Bradley did win the fight with Holt. But he was winning and still went toe to toe in the 12th round and got careless.

                Pac has a WW belt and yes he can take a fight at 140 for another belt but its unlikely unless he gets paid big money and the big money is at WW.

                I actually think the Maidana fight is a great test for Bradley. Two fighters who are undefeated(maidana's only losss was a local gift decision) and Puncher vs Boxer. If Bradley survives the test i think he puts himself in greatt position against Pac. Since the mayweather vs pac fight is not going to happen due to the drug testing and also mayweather will want more than 50% now.

                    Some are going to pretend that Clottey was a big name.

                    Tim: I'd like to fight you, Manny
                    Pac: You're not a big enough name.
                    Tim: OK, I accept that. Who are you going to fight then?
                    Pac: Joshua Clottey
