This fight could be at the HP pavilion or Staples......if this fight gets made props to the ghost for stepping up to the plate when other fighters were quick to find other opponents knowing Bradley was available....all my points on Bradley

Guerrero will be a tough challenge early, but as the fight goes on, Bradley will break him down. I personally think that Timothy Bradley is a class A boxer that lacks punching power.All of his fights against top opposition will be tough because of that lack of power. But with the exception of Mayweather, I can't see any fighter at 140 and 147 outboxing Tim. I'm not sure of the height and reach difference between Robert and Tim, but Tim is battle tested against all style and size of fighters. I think because of the unfair criticism he received after his last fight, he will be even more motivated.And because he competed with a fighter on the level of Pacquiao with 2 injured ankles, his confidence will be sky high. Guerrero will probably be the full wbc champion by the time this fight takes place, so that would make this a unification fight. If Tim wins, having 2 belts will be even more bait to real in Manny or maybe even Floyd. I'm one of the few that wanted to see the rematch with Manny. I truly believe Tim is the type of fighter that can make serious adjustments in a rematch and beat Manny. The first fight he gave him hell. What people fail to realize or remember is that Tim was injured and still avoided big shots from Manny. And no, he was not running. There was a reason why Manny wouldn't open up on him. It was because he didn't want to get countered and Tim's body attack (which went unnoticed by the commetators) slowed him down in the last few rounds. Why else wouldn't Manny go for the KO??? Because he was taking it easy on him??? Timothy Bradley may be a boring fighter ( I disagree because I love a display of skills) but thats exactly what the critics used to say about Pernell Whitaker and Floyd early in his career. Look at where they are at in the history books. Tim is 29-0. All he has to do is keep beating every fighter they put in front of him. Sooner or later the world will be forced to give him his proper respect.

I think that's the longest post I have ever read on this site I agree though, I thought Manny edged out the win 7 round's to 5 but Bradley did display an amazing set of boxing skills (which HBO was clearly ignoring) If this fight was at 140 I would say Robert Guerrero all day, but since it's not I'm gonna have to go with Bradley. Robert Guerrero's win over Aydin was nice but did anybody know who Aydin was before that, I didn't. I'm still not convinced that R.G. is a true WW.

A hard puncher who's three biggest wins were all disputable

Boxing is about skill not popularity but on this site most of the time it feels opposite
