Comments Thread For: Bradley Gives His Take on The Pacquiao/Ariza Situation

[I Love Jesus!]

I see you've made it a goal of your to bash Floyd based on pure jealousy because it sure cant be based off of objectivity. are you saying that PacMan and Bob Arum have nothing to do with the Maywethaer fight not happening and 100 percent of the blame lies with Mayweather??? Heres something else for you to ponder.....If Pac has that kind of problems with Marquez, then I see why Bob Arum came up with every excuse in the book to act like 40 million dollars isnt enough to throw his fighter in the ring with Floyd. Ask all the boxers that fought both of them who they think would win and see what they said..... Floyd easily handles Pacquioa and Arum knows it. Remember the cut that takes 6 months to heal?or the new stadium that need ed to be built? And let's not forget about Joe Jackson and the other foreign investors. As if Pac will ever make close to 40 million dollars in a fight without Floyd Mayweather.

They've Both fought several of the same fighters and let's compare their purses and you tell me how Manny Pacquioa deserves more than 40 million when he's never been paid that much money to fight in his life???

Who got paid more to fight Hatton, Oscar, Marquez, Mosley, and now Cotto, Mayweather or Pacquioa??? What is his leverage if you understand negotiating to act like 40 million isnt worth it him when he's never been paid even close to that??

Most professionals will tell you that Floyd would beat Pac including the fighters names above who happen to have fought them both, guys that are more credible than you and I and who are probably more jealous of Floyd than you are. But for the sake of being credible they choose to keep it real.

Pacquioa instead of stepping up and beating Floyd and taking his place as the highest paid athlete in the sport ( and getting paid a cool 40 million to do it, a purse he CANNOT get paid anywhere else), he sues em on some straight bish **** which is quite laughable.

Lastly, if Marquez gives Pac this much trouble, who's style happens to be predicated on counter punching and timing, my God what would Floyd to him who's style is predicated on the exact same thing????

you care more about mayweathers bank account the seeing the fight. 40 million is not enough when the fight could make 200 million. thats not even 25%. you're a moron if you think pac should except 80/20.

You talk like Marquez is some kind of a bum. Marquez is a great figther who knows how to fight Pacquiao. Besides Marquez, Pacquiao destroyed all his opponents either by ko, tko or one sided decision beat down. You may wonder why Floyd weight cheated Marquez to make sure of his victory.

Where in my post did I imply that Marquez was a bum? I'm not wondering why Floyd weight cheated Marquez because at the end of the day there is no way at any weight that Marquez beats Floyd. Fact is Floyd could not make the weight obviously but people saying Floyd weighed 160 is B.S.because Floyd never weighs over 150. Most likely he was 147 or at the most 150 which would have made him like 3 to 6 lbs over Marquez which played no factor into Marquez's loss because Floyd didn't use his size as an advantage, he basically out boxed him.

I think Bradley is right that Pacquiao may have overtrained for his last few fights, but I think thats a result of Pacquiao's late night bball and going for long jogs which Ariza doesn't like. I think he'll be in good shape this go around and handle Bradley rather easily, Bradley must think Pacquiao hits like Devon Alexander lol..

Excuses, excuses. How about Marquez just whipped his ass, no excuses necessary

The first thing I thought of when I read this headline is why would we bother with Bradley's take on the Pacquiao-Ariza matter? This is not news. Just assumptions.

No way Tim Bradley beats Manny either....Tim is too slow and to susceptible to getting caught with punches....TR knows what they're doing.... Realists know Tim doesnt stand a chance....this fight is to get Manny to look good again, to get people to look past how average Manny has looked in his last few fights... This fight is a laugher

No offense but Tim Bradley is NOT a guy you choose to fight to make your fighter look GOOD against. Quite the opposite, actually. I love Timmy B, but he makes fights extremely ugly... I have a feeling this fight will be ugly as well. This fight has all the potential to make Pac look worse then anything, Pac is not gonna be able to get off on Tim like he's used to with other opponents. Marquez took more shots then I think Tim will, because JMM is willing to get hit in order to counter punch you. Tim is crafty, and his defense is underrated IMO. He uses a lot of head and body movement, and is not shy about tying you up on the inside. AND, he's pretty damn economical with his punches, maybe even more so in a fight against Pac because of Pac's speed and strange angles. I would even venture to say that there might be more clinches in this fight then there are actual punches thrown Seriously though, NO... you just don't fight Tim Bradley to make yourself look "good".
