    Bradley not a good opponent for Pacquiao

    1. Bradley's foot injury prevented him from winning more rounds in the first fight. He only won 4 rounds the first time around, possibly 5, thus why everybody was outraged. (No he didnt actually outbox or outwork Pacquiao as some revisionists have stated. He definitely COULD do that if fully healthy)

    2. A healthy Bradley could win atleast 6-8 rounds and being busier.

    3. "Pac shock" has worn off for Bradley, so Tim will definitely take more risks in a rematch instead of being overly defensive

    4. Pac finally just won a fight, you want to keep the ball rolling and Bradley conducive to that. Pac should take an easier opponent like Broner or Provo

    all props to Pac if he does take the fight and beat Bradley again, but I really think 2nd time around Bradley takes it without controversy without his foot injury

      Bradley's foot injury is about as believable as David "the toe" Haye losing to Wlad only because his pinky was swollen.

        1. Pacquiao fought lazy and uninspired, thus preventing him from possibly knocking Bradley out.

        2. An inspired Pac could knock Bradley out if he was busier.

        3. If Bradley took more risks he'd get caught more often.

        4. Pac-Bradley makes sense. Pac is still as good as the guy who fought Bradley the first time, and he will get a chance for vengeance against a top 3 p4per he was robbed against.

          pacquiao was still winning it before the foot injury lol......but pac still didn't look like his old self against rios which could have been a result of the KO loss (he opted to fight more cautiously, which was smart) and the long layoff, etc...

            his injuries prevented him from winning more rounds, not like he won any rounds before the injuries

              Its the best fight that can possibly made on Top Rank's roster. We saw last night that Pac has a lot left and Bradley redeemed himself by outboxing and outhustling Marquez.

              Arum says Pac will return on April 12th in Vegas. Looks to me like the only option is a Bradley rematch and I welcome it.

              Bradley needs the fight to erase all doubts about the first fight and Pacquiao needs the fight to bring back the hype for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

              If Pac beats Bradley convincingly the Pac vs. Floyd master thread will be reborn.

                Bradley clearly beats Pacman in a rematch. I'll be loading up on bets should it happen. Pacman won't beat Bradley.

                  Really? Well if you watch this video it was clearly showed Pac was beating the hell out of Bradley even before Pac broke his foot. And what do you call it a foot controversy? LMAO!

                  Obviously you didn't even WATCH the fight. Watch starting from 5:15 onwards up to the point he twisted his ankle at 5:35. Pac in slow motion clearly landed 8 consecutive punches and Bradley broke his ankle trying to get away from the onslaught.

                    For a guy with two injured feed, he moved and ran like a gazelle. People make it like it was cotto vs foreman there. Excuses. I respect bradley but he landed about 5 good shots in that fight. hand speed, power and shorter shots will win it for pac, again. If bradley turns it into a track meet, then his chances significantly improve but I think that a motivated pac still has enough to impose his will on him.
