[Rome-By-Ko]

clottey fought cotto, margo, and corrales. he's had way more exposure than duck-storm.

He also lost all those fights except the Corrales fight.Soo I'm missing your point??

[Rome-By-Ko]

Bradley can't sellout a ballroom but thinks he's ppv worthy, this guy is so delussional.

Oh but Clottey was a hugh draw get real dude.

TBH Bradley already cleaned out the Jr WW div
he was rank num 1 when Devon and Khan was not even ranked.Bradley is a bigger name then Clottey.Bradley fought Witter a big name in the UK.he fought Holt who had a classic fight with Torres.He is a bigger name the Clottey and not to mention he is undefeated.Clotteys biggest win was Judah not a good sign.Bradley IMO is the better opponent then Margas or Cotto.Bradley brings speed and great Boxing ability to the ring and would be dangerous even tho he does not have punching(That much)power.All in all he is the best opponent for Pac other then May or Devon IMO

Unfortunately nobody cares who the best opponent is. That is of course unless you're talking about a certain loud mouthed black fighter who is held to a different standard. Who in here actually thinks Pac vs Cotto 2 will end a different result? Who in here doesn't think if Margs fights Pac that Margs will catch a beatdown of Mosley like proportions? Isn't one of the problems with Floyd that people say they want to see him against someone where as soon as you announce the fight it's not already a foregone conclusion that he's gonna win. Why not the same with every fighter? Skill wise Bradley is the best option. Sad that skills alone don't really get you a shot at the best fighters nowadays.

Well in all fairness if we hold Pac to the "Mayweather Standard" then he is ducking Bradley. ( I dont think he is really ducking him) But I remember floyd not fighting a guy name Margarito for the same exact reason and he was called a duck. Even though marg was a nobody and fighting him didnt make sense just like a Pac-Bradley fight wouldnt make sense floyd was a duck and a coward. So i have to call Pac a duck who is afraid of Bradley. (once again I dont believe either pulled a duck move but lets be fair here)

i dont think so..for now manny has a lot of options..most fighters are calling him to have big bucks..its up to manny who he choses wheter cotto-for his 8 title division or for margo more money than bradley..so i dont think you can compare that ducking to floyd..all manny"s option are not easy fight unlike to floyd..

this is manny's last fight! they should choose the best opponent in terms of legacy and money!!

[QUOTE=empiricix;8779751]There are two things wrong why your analogy doesn't work. Mayweather stood to make 8M guaranteed for the Margarito fight, yet fought Baldomir for less. There was also a larger public clamor for a Margo fight rather than a Baldomir fight.

With Pac-Bradley, the money simply isn't as attractive compared to a Mayweather, Margarito or Cotto fight, and there is no widespread clamor for it, except from Timmy's accountants. [/Q

From what i know he made the same 8m with Baldo and got the true WW title. Sorry but it is the same situation. The standard for Pac as #1 are different than floyds. Pac can not fight whoever and its smart business , floyd doesnt fight someone and hes a duck. It is an unfair double-standard and you are contributing to it.

how can this be ducking when you have a lot of options? in term of legacy and money!

What does Margarito do for his legacy? Or beating a Cotto who he already whooped? Don't give me that 8th title in a different weight division crap, if he fights Cotto it's plain old cherry picking. Just like if Floyd would of fought Hatton again.

Bradley's resume does'nt compare to clottey's, clottey earned the right to challenge pac. Bradley is avoiding the one fight that would make him an instant star.

[Digital Hu$tler]

Bradley is a bigger name then Clottey but Texas staidum and Pacquiao defending his title at the welterwright limit and against a big welterweight in Clottey is what sold that fight it wasn't really Clottey as much as it was Pacquiao and the arena but Bradley shoud be thinking about fighting Alexander not Pacquiao
