    Its not a duck if you take on a better fighter. Its the reality of the business side of boxing that causes a lot of fights to not get made. At this point, I think a lot of people think he would have beaten Khan but he had to get with top rank to fight Pac.

    Its no different than Mayweather leaving top rank and turning down the margarito fight to fight a better fighter with DLH for more money. Bradley is fighting a better fighter for more money.

      Yeah, he said he'll be adopting the JMM strategy which I think he could utilise well.

          I don't think its Bradley's power thats gonna bother Pacman. 1st & foremost it's Bradley's energy, stamina, endurance & relative speed. He has more than probably all of Pacman's welterweight oponents. He's faster on his feet than all, he has better stamina than all, he has enough power to snap back a head a few times a fight. What as Bradley puts on a career defining fight but loses on the cards cause of some Arum home cooking.

          Bradley can definately outbox Pacman. I don't see why anyone would think he can't. Pacman looked like hot garbage when a shot as hell Sugar Shane moved, a lightweight just beat his a$$. Bradley will box circles around Pacman.

            Dude what are you talking about? Mayweather DUCKED Margarito!! He could have fought the no name bricked glove margarita RIGHT AFTER HE LEFT Top Rank for the imaginary offer of 8 million Dollars that was offered but noooooooooooooooooooooooo he decided to fight the #1 Ranked WW Baldomir who had just defeated the last undisputed WW Champ Judah for 10 million dollars ANNNNNDDDD THENNNNNN he fought Oscar for 20 million dollars. If you don't call that a duck then IDK what is!!

                When is the last time Pacquiao was bothered by any fighter's power?

                  Bradley is certainly a better fighter than Raheem but I don't think Bradley has the kind of patience and style to outbox Pacquaio consistently like Raheem did Morales.

                  Bradley is too prone to getting into a fight and ****ing with his opponent which will ultimately be his downfall IMO.

                  I'm hoping he can prove me wrong and box circles around Pacquaio but I just don't see it.

                  Not Raheem-Morales esque, anyway.

                      Lucas Matthysse knocked him down at the beginning of round 4 in their fight.
