Comments Thread For: Shaw: Mayweather-Bradley Possible, Pacquiao No Way

[Khalid X]

i would love to see that fight to so we could see a thousand excuses of why timothy the nobody who is not a big enough draw to fight pacquiao made pacquiao look like ****

If you really believe that, then I feel sorry for you.

Matter fact, I guarantee people will be crying that Manny should have faced Berto, and undefeated champion in his own division, instead of JWW.

Margarito hasnt won a round in his last two fights. So i doubt hes capable of killing anything at this point in his carreer. Killing something requires that you land some punches and Margarito hasnt been landing **** lately. Also shaw is right about team Pacquiao. When Shane was loosing to Floyd Pacquiao fans couldnt call Shane old and washed up fast enough. Now that Shanes fighting their guy all of a sudden Shanes 10 yrs younger.

Actually not only has Margarito won a round in his last 2 fights. But, he has won a fight in his last 2 fights.

Stay up on the current events gee...

How's your son coming along?

The science of boxing does not require a fighter to have 1-punch KO power. Bradley wobbled Abregu, and has more than enough power to keep a WW from walking through his punches.

I agree with Jro, except for Margarito.

I just can't believe how highly Pac fan's rate Margarito, simply because Manny fought him. Margarito was never an elite fighter, not even close.

And Clottey? No dude, just no

I kind of can say something to that same effect too but I won't...

All I can't see how Bradley would beat Margarito at 150. He's not the most clever, skilled, defensive minded, pure boxer out there. And, even if he did Marg finds a way to make you fight. To beat Marg you have to outfight him. So he won't put on a boxing clinic on Marg. He doesn't have the speed or the type of work rate to out hustle Marg or make Marg think twice about throwing. And, he doesn't have the power to get Marg respect.

The size will also be too much especially at 150.

Marg beats him at that weight. Don't see how Bradley wins.

Shaw's bitterness to Filipinos is obvious since Donaire left him......

the media would crap all over that. floyd cant fight anyone besides pacquiao at this point.

So it's okay for Pacquiao to fight someone else at this point, but Floyd can't do the same. Do you really expect him to take the biggest fight of his professional career coming back from months of inactivity instead of taking a tune-up fight?

I agree to a point! If Floyd Jr. were to fight Tim Bradley, he would get trashed by some people because Bradley is smaller than him. Floyd Jr supporters would most likely claim he is fighting an undefeated fighter in his prime who has fought at 147 lbs before. Personally, I think if Floyd Jr fights anyone other than Pacquiao, it should be Sergio Martinez but no way he takes that fight. That fight has too much risk and not much reward (financially) if he were to win. I think Floyd Jr. will fight Amir Khan since Khan is close to Mayweather's size and could be a huge money fight when marketed properly...

He wouldn't have to take a tune-up fight if he would have signed to fight in November. He probably wouldn't be in all this legal trouble either for that matter. When Floyd Jr came back, he said "I came back to fight the best, beat the best and be the best!" Well, other than Mosley, that has not happened. If he takes on anyone other than Pacquiao, Berto, Bradley vs. Alexander winner or Sergio Martinez, you can bet he will get thrashed immensely, regardless if you feel he has earned a tune up or not...

if Floyd can reach 1M PPV with Bradley then I'll give him his due! Though I don't like this match up, it's a sure win fo FMJ but Bradley would make him look bad. The only exciting match Bradley been in is with Holt, only bcoz Bradley went down in that fight^^

[Dale Cardon]

If WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is able to beat WBC king Devon Alexander on Saturday, his promoter Gary Shaw believes a that fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is very possible. Bradley face Alexander at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan. Bradley would like to fight WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Shaw doesn't give that fight a shot of taking place. He says Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, likes to match the Filipino boxer against shot fighters.
