Comments Thread For: Bradley's Trainer Prefers Pacquiao Fight Over Marquez

[samouraļ]

I can see Bradley outboxing Pac even more thoroughly this time and Pac getting the gift decision and then the Trilogy...

Even more thoroughly than not thoroughly at all? That's hard to do.

We shall soon find out..I don't think Bradley boxes all twelve rounds and tries to silence the people that trashed him over the decision he got and that could potentially cost him. I've noticed that about Bradley when he gets tagged he abandons his game plan which fortunately hasn't caught up to him but almost did with Provodnikov.

What really impressed me about Timmy in the JMM fight was the versatility he showed. He basically took Floyd's gameplan when he fought JMM and executed it beautifully. And that's why I would lean towards him in a rematch with Pac. He has more options and avenues he can take to a win than does Pac. Plus, people have convienently forgetten that Timmy fought 2/3s of that fight basically on one leg.

If Arum can't get out of the box and all he can do is rematches or fight PROV, then I hope its not Ruslan Pac fights but Bradley.

I am 100 percent against Arum putting Ruslan against Pac.

Pac should be fight JOY Jr. or

Garcia, Broner etc............ NOT his OWN STABLE MATE !!!!!!!!!!!!

This defeats the PURPOSE of having a stable of fighters. This is saying I have the best and only fighters and the rest are curs, quitters etc.......

ARUM YOU OLD GOAT, Quit fighting your fighters in a box!!!!!!

Homeboy I disagree. Manny IMO beat bradley even though bradley won the last 3-4 rds.

If bradley can fight the rematch like he did those 4 rds he can win. I dont see how he can.

Manny UD/late rd KO.

I thought Pac won the first fight too. But I don't think the decision was nearly as bad as some claim. I have consistantly scored it 7-5, and a couple times 8-4 for Pac purposely giving Timmy all the close rounds, I've managed to score it a draw.

Floyd-khan would be stacked for it to be worthy,
Canelo vs molina
Garcia-mathysse rematch or broner-thurman or maidana-thurman
Add ortiz vs lopez


Pac-bradley and jmm-provo would be enough to hit at least a million buys.

so a guy whose last fight did more than 2.2 mil sales and who sold more than 3 mil ppv's this year needs a strong undercard for it to be worthy but

a rematch of a fight that was a robbery that sold about 700k, headlined by 2 guys that sold 475k and 375k in their last ppv fights, with 1 undercard fight, would do over 1 mil.

There is no way you actually believe this.

he didnt outbox pac the first time, why would he outbox him now?

pac was out of shape too, if he actually comes into the fight energetic he'll wreck bradley

An 80% pac can outclass bradley, i wonder how can a 100% percent focused pac can do.

He is not the same pac, he learned his lessons. He did not attend his congressional duties while training for rios and he will do it again. He knows that he is behind in the negotiating table with a possible floyd fight and he will rise again to be on top.

He beat bradley before and he will do it again without wasting 2mins on every round coasting.

Don't really understand the whole "Pac wasn't 100%" talk. If anybody was less than their best in that fight, it was the guy who fought on one leg for 2/3s of the fight.

He fought JMM beautifully but if you watch closely he started getting a wee bit too comfortable when he was having success in the mid rounds...that's a problem I notice with bradley his attention span is utter shhh, it's like he gets bored and just gets too comfortable. Best option for him is to fight on that back foot, if he fights moving forward it's going to be a rough night for him and honestly I think this rematch would be personal for him and if you listen to in between rounds in the provodnikov fight he doesn't bode well at sticking to the game plan when he feels he needs to get even. Pacquaio is a dangerous fight for him, very dangerous if he can't keep his composure and doesn't stick to his game plan. I feel like him and Joel may be under estimating Pacquaio.

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that but I disagree...Khan, Alexander and Garcia combined don't have the drawing power Pacquaio has but whatever floats your boat. Ain't no other option out there to get Floyd to 2 million buys..that is a harsh reality at this point.

They may not have the drawing power of Pacquiao but they won't ask for what Pacquiao will ask for monetarily. So if Pacquiao wants the fight, that's what he has to do. And that's the real harsh reality.

Both fights you mentioned are going to need some serious undercards...i'm not too pleased about Khan getting a shot at Mayweather..honestly I can't think of what the hell he's done to earn that fight..like seriously. IMO Devon deserved it more and by that standard so did Malignaggi (before he lost to Broner)..unfortunately I think the winner of Malignaggi/Judah gets Floyd next which would honestly be an even bigger travesty. Bradley and Pacquaio need Provodnikov vs Marquez on their undercard.

the only reason why khan might get a shot at floyd is because he will bring in uk and other overseas ppv buyers and that means dollars. theres a lot of other fighters that are deserving but like they say, "its all about the benjamins"

I agree with on on Devon. When Floyd announced him as an opponent on Twitter. I didn't really understand why folks had such a problem with that match-up.

As for Khan getting a shot. I have ZERO interest in that fight and won't be ordering it. Although I admit I'll probably hit up the theatre and catch it for under 20 bucks. I think right now, GBP is outta "sellable" opponents for Floyd at the moment and Khan is serving as nothing but the most sellable stay busy/tune-up they have available. And he's basically serving as a bridge to fill that May date while they build up Garcia or Broner for Sept. If I had to make a guess right now, I'd say itt will be Danny. They gonna let Broner marinate a lil more.
