If Pacman mans up and fights Bradley, I'll be impressed!

It's as legit a fight as Mayweather - Hatton was, tis exactly the same, asking the unbeaten champ at Jr. Welter to step up to welter to fight the champ there.

But then again did people give Floyd much credit for that win, was Hatton simply a "bum" or was it all Cortez's fault?

That is fair assesment. Some people give Floyd too much credit & some not enough. I me be part of the not enough crew, after all Collazo beat Hatton at 147, 1st IMO. At least bradley sonned Abregu in his welterweight debut. Although Abregu to be fair is not in the same league as Collazo.

The best fighter willing to fight Pacman is Martinez...................but we all know how that goes. The best fighter Pacman is willing to fight, just might be Bradley.

There is no question that Martinez is a bigger fighter than Bradley. However, if he needs to be dehydrated to 150, then its the same banana as fighting ODLH.

Id rather let Pac fight Bradley because:
1) he's Black American
2) he's truly the hungry young lion
3) He's undefeated

Winning the fight will surely be a huge smack in the face of Mayweather. So we can expect the next big fight on 2012.

I know it won't happen, because it's simply not the way Arum and Pacquiao do things, but Pacquiao should absolutely have this fight take place at 140. At welterweight there are reasons to complain, because Bradley may not be a fighter that translates, the way Hatton didn't, but at 140 no one can say anything.

Too bad.

I think we all need to look at the bigger picture. Anytime soon Pac might be fighting May for a purse fight so he needs to be consistently fighting within the division. I love to see him fight at JWW though.

Couple things on this Hatton fought Pac at 140. Hatton-Mayweather was the only fight Ricky ever made at 147 lbs wheras Bradley has fought and won at 147 before. He is a totally different animal to Ricky Hatton when it comes to training and staying in shape.

Ricky behaved liek Roberto Duran between fights. Shoving junk food and drink down his throat and just kicking back with the boys.

I bet even through this summer, whilst he ducked Khan for what turned tout to be Grandpa Joel Casamayor, Bradley was lifting weights three times a week minimum.

Guys a freakin VEGAN! I have SOME kinda respect for fighters that have that kinda attitude. That this is an athletic sport and that a man needs to be in shape on the day to day.

Please don't misunderstand what I said. The question was who was the best fighter willing to fight Pacman. The only fighter that seems not willing to fight him, is Floyd. But Martinez is indeed the best fighter willing to fight him. I have no quams with Pacman-Bradley, hence the tread. But as far as fighters willing to fight Pacman? That's silly. Everyone is willing to fight him. But it is Pacman who is not willing to fight everyone. Pacman is the 1 with the bargaining power over everyone around 147,(outside of Floyd). So it's not who is willing to fight him, it's who he's willing to give that oppertunity to.

Not true, Collazo lost a bogus decision to Hatton at welterweight.
