Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Explains Why He Passed Over Timothy Bradley

[Dirk Diggler UK]

human's skin is not that all alike. maravilla was hit w/ solid punches from jr., he was also hit by paul williams but maravilla didn't cut or sore. that goes the same for bradley, imo!!

Yep. Josh Clottey's face was unmarked after the Pacquaio fight. Bradley's career is going in the same direction as his too.

I remember that,you believe Pac broke Bradley....Jeez people are really crazy on this site..I get it..The fighter who lost twice is more deserving then the fighter who won..I get it..Pac man has the heart of a competitor...

Now ur reaching.. I'm just saying who put on a better performance against the pacman, Marquez or Bradley??

sergio martinez lost a decision many say he won to paul the punisher and rematched to destroy him. A boxer who feels like he has been cheated 99% of the time seeks a rematch to prove himself. The difference in this case is bradley has exactly 17 fans and hasn't done anything to help build a buzz for a rematch he just wants to ride pacs coattails. If he was smart he would start generating public interest so he can get that fight.

^^^ he's to busy spending the money he made from the pac fight. Give him a few more months when the doe is running low then u'll start hearing from him.

I got a feeling that PAC will give Bradley a rematch before he retires, he might actually fight him after PAC-JMM IV because there is still no assurance that the mayweather fight will happen early next year. I prefer that he fights JMM now and then Bradley later on, because Marquez is like, what almost 40? Now what Bradley needs to do in the meantime is to keep winning and be impressive that would really build him up and for sure a rematch next year would be bigger compared to a rematch this early.

After the Bradley debacle I had stated that I wish Pacquiao would just ignore the Bradley rematch and simply state that his reasoning for not taking it is because he and everyone else knows he clearly won the fight, and wants to give the fans a better fight. Plus, if it really was setup just to make more money, Pacquiao has now completely thrown a monkey wrench in those plans. I am so glad that is exactly what he did.

That said, I just wish he wouldn't have gone straight to Marquez IV. For me, he got it half right.

bradley fans have more than 17 fans for sure.. no more than 30 though.

I kinda feel the same way. I have a feeling bob already have this planned out. If a pac vs Floyd fight won't happen I believe Bob will have PAC fight Bradley again. After PAC beats Marquez PAC is gonna revenge the lost to Bradley but instead this time bradley will beat PAC convincely sendin PAC to retirement and Bradley emerge as the new cash cow for bob. Reason why they don't want to rematch Bradley now is because PAC just fought him and lost according to the Judges so because of this even if Bradley wins it won't hype him that much compare to if PAC Rematch jmm then beats him then fight Bradley then gets beat by bradley. This will bring Bradley's stock up high since PAC was coming off a win off Marquez.

Based on what?

Cant say he ducked Bradley. He beat him clearly.

I have no problem fighting JMM again but only after you exhausted ALL options and I dont think they did.
