    I agree, as such they hysterics over him not fighting a WW are somewhat unfounded. Paulie and Alexander are two of the beltholders, it's not exactly overflowing with elite opponents for him.

    The Bradley fight is clearly more credible than Rios, but people don't seem to be too excited about that either.

      For the most part, onnly people who wouldn't want to see it are Pac lovers or Khan lovers/Bradley haters.

      When I first watched the Pac-Bradley fight I had Manny winning close. Definitely didn't think it was a blowout but I hadn't scored it and it seemed there was a long stretch where Manny was in control. When things settled down and I watched it again, I was very surprised at what I saw. I've since seen it about 10 times and I have Bradley winning each time. There are 2-4 very close rounds and so I have no issues with a decision for either fighter. But a robbery? A blowout? Nonsense.

        yea basically this. his only opponent at 147 that matters is either mayweather or bradley...

              Hmm and I suppose you fall into no specific categories?

                It's the best fight that can be made at 147 for Pacquiao. That's really the bottom line. And no, I'm not a Pac lover or a Bradley hater or a Khan d*ckrider.

                  I dont want to see Rios get ruined before he fights Matthyse and Garcia.

                      Juan Manuel Marquez is a better fight seeing as he actually beat Pacquaio and actually deserves a rematch.
                      No, I'm not. But it's pretty pathetic you're going this route.
