    Bradley is Pacquiao's best opponent since Marquez in '08

    I'm sure some of you will disagree and say Cotto was a better opponent, but I don't think so. Cotto was just three fights removed from the Margarito demolition and he beat a bum in Jennings and struggled with Joshua Clottey. Furthermore, it appeared that Santiago was in over his head trying to train Cotto and Pacquiao fought him at a ****** catch weight. Every fight for Manny after that has been a joke imo.

    Bradley is young, undefeated, and a good all around boxer. He's actually not coming off a loss or bad performance and there are no ****** weight stipulations in this fight. The fight could have been at 140lbs. but I'm fine with the fight at WW. Quite frankly, I'm stunned that Manny actually took this fight. I don't like Pacquiao but I give him credit for finally taking a legit fight. This is the first Manny fight that I actually care about and look forward to watching in a long time. If Manny wins fair and square he gets kudos from me. However, with that being said I expect Bradley to give Manny every thing he can handle. May the best man win.

        Cotto is Floyds best opponent since he turned pro. Because Floyds resume isnt that strong.

          Thank you for that in depth analysis.

            Cotto is likely better than Bradley. One stoppage does not necessarily ruin a fighter.
            And the catchweight didnt even do anything, Cotto was fine.

              I think Pac will fairly easily beat Bradley, not taking anything away from Bradley, i think he's good, but just not near Pac's league. Pac is elite, Bradley hasn't reached this status.....yet. And may never. Just my 2¢.

                      I think I can agree with this actually. Bradley is a young hungry lion and the dude is JACKED. Cotto and everybody else were already old softies... although I wouldn't describe Margs as a 'softy' with or without plaster.
