Comments Thread For: Roach: Bradley Rematch is More Likely For Pacquiao

[Tyler_Durden]

if Mayweather is running out of opponents, so is Pacquiao

Floyd has to fight Amir Khan for ****sake....unless he's moving up to 160 LOL

there is literally noone out there.

Let's face it, B level fighters are easily exposed when they fight elite. We can hype them up as much as we want as "young lions" or "hungry fighters", but at the end of the day they can barely win any rounds.

Cotto was the last good opponent both Pac and May have fought in years.

That's a good point, but if we just talk about boxing without getting involved with the politics part of it there are plenty of fighters inside and around the welterweight division. These are just some names that are off the top of my head while I'm writing this but more can surely be found: Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, Marcos Maidana, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Devon Alexander. And if these guys would barely be expected to win any rounds, I'd still rather watch them then the same guys over and over or to keep hearing about the same fight that never happens over and over. I'm not trying to start a back and forth argument either, just saying my opinion. =)

Personally I have no problem with a Bradley rematch. There are gonna be plenty of surprised people when Bradley dominates the rematch, but not I.

All this does is encourage more robberies. What's the takeaway here? Gift decisions during a marquee PPV event = future lucrative rematches to 'avenge' the 'loss'. This is why casual fans often remain casual fans. It makes boxing seem as staged as WWE.
I'm a huge fan of both Pac & May, but this rematch is a bunch of crap. I respected Pac a TON for telling Bradley to shove it bc they both knew who won when he was begging for a rematch prior to Pac/Marquez IV. The change of heart is disappointing and Arum is a snake oil salesman.

this guy is flat out ducking mayweather. he always says that he want to fight .then chooses a different fighter and date instead of the 2 biggest boxing dates in the sport. the first week of may and the middle of september. why is he fighting in april? because they want no part of mayweather. period.

I don't have much interest in this fight but...if pacquaio can win, it's sets up a serious argument for a much needed pac-mayweather bout in september. Boxing needs mayweather vs pacquaio.

As a huge Pac fan and a firm believer that Pac won the first fight convincingly, as most of you do, I think Pac loses another decision to Bradley which will erase all the talk of a Mayweather fight thats not going to happen anyway.

Is that right? Why on earth would boxing (need) Pacman Floyd?? Especially right now?? The fight was at it's peak, primed to happen in 09/10. It didn't happen then and boxing rolled along just fine. Fastforward to 2014. Much has changed, Pacman lost and got stopped and made a successful comeback. Why would we need the fight (now)? as opposed to 09/10??

The dessert storm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This fight was crap the first time, and will be crap again..................
Sick of this ****.... Thousands of welterweights in the world and Pac can only fight three of them, whilst two of them he has faced already...????
top rank and Boxing is a joke.

Bradley has gotten smarter, he ain't fighting Pac for less money and he'll be asking for at least 8-10 Mil which I doubt Pac would give him. Best move for Tim is to move to GBP and unify all the belts, Pac and Prov is too much for Bradley right now while for Pac, he should just retire unless he gets to fight Floyd. Not really interested watching Tim fights Pac again, I am a big fan of Tim but he can duck his head all he wants and still gets hit by Pac's combos.
