Bradley vs JMM

[BoxerDood]

Why not make this happen if Bradley gets by Alexander and after JMM destroys Morales next year? Its a great opportunity for both. A win over JMM would make Pacquiao-Bradley look really interesting, and it could even make Mayweather come out of vacation if he's able to look as impressive as Floyd did against JMM last year. You can tell Arum wants this fight. He's said nothing but good things about Bradley, which is unheard of when it comes to guys who wants Pac. Perhaps a win over Berto afterwards would make it look even better.

A win over Bradley for JMM is also HUGE. He'd not only be the first Mexican to win a title in four different divisions, but he'd also satisfy Arum, who said a win over Berto or Bradley would make him want to make Pacquiao-Marquez III happen. Bradley's a young, durable opponent with handspeed, head movement and footwork who can also brawl, so if Marquez could take on somebody with that, it would prove that he can hang with the big guys.

What do you guys think of this fight? Should it happen if both get by their next opponent? And if so, who would win?

Why does Marquez have to prove himself with lesser known fighters? The man's a living legend. Sure his last few opponents haven't been superstars, but are Berto and Bradley superstars? Marquez has done enough to earn a 3rd match with Pacman. Arum needs to cut the bs and give Marquez a well deserved rubber match with Pacquiao.

He's done enough to prove that he can hang with elite fighters, but has he proved that he can hang with much bigger guys? The biggest guys he has fought are Katsidis and Floyd. Floyd shut him out and Katsidis dropped him hard. Bradley would be a great test to see if he can compete with Pacquiao or not. And its also very rewarding because he could get his fourth division title, which would make history in Mexico.

True, but I'd rather see them go at it at 140. We all saw how weak Marquez is at 147. There's no way he could perform the way he wants with all that extra weight. I'm a huge fan of Pacquiao, but I wish he'd go down a few pounds to face Marquez. Other than that, I think Bradley/Marquez would be a great fight to watch, and would give Marquez a chance at a fourth world title. I just don't know if he'd be willing to do it at 147.

[BoxerDood]

Yeah I agree that it would be better at 140, but sadly Ariza is the only one on Pac's team willing to make that happen. Roach said everyone must come up to 147, and I'm sure Arum is saying the same.

jmm would have to dominate bradley either at 140 or 147 to justify a rubbermatch with pac. as is, if jmm fights above 135 lbs, he's a blown up lightweight.

[mrgreenfingers]

damn i really like this match up, bradleys a bit smaller height wise than the rest of the 140 pounders, would be barnstormer no doubt.

Only top guy @ 140 JMM probably can't beat is Khan. He's too big and offensively sound. Zab will gas out,Maidana is too slow,Alexander seems like he has a hard time with movers and counter punchers.Ortiz and Bradley will be JMM's biggest test.Ortiz has it all but cosistant "killer instinct" and Bradley's will and heart is second to none but his punch doesn't match ala Juan Diaz.

This fight actually makes a lot more sense than people probably realize. I think it's a smart move and it should happen.

Marquez cannot compete above 135,that fight makes no sense,imo!!
