    3. It's one of the few match ups Pac can fight that doesn't make the entire boxing world groan.

    4. Bradley, like it or not, started having more success in the championship rounds. Was that Pac taking it easy thinking he won, or Bradley figuring something out?

    5. It's a perfect fight for both at this point in their careers. If Pac is still one of the best fighters in the world, he'll beat Bradley again. Bradley doesn't hit hard enough to worry about power, so no chin question either. Bradley needs another high profile fight if he wants to keep boxing fans caring about him, and if Pac has faded far enough he can definitely win it.

    6. The entire dirty business of the first fight left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. A rematch can help them and the fans forget.
    Agree 100%.

    Imo, Pacquiao's best chance in getting a rematch with JMM is to get back his belt from Bradley. JMM really wants the 5th division title so he may fight Manny again for that. That's the only way I can see JMM/Pacquiao V happening. It's still no guarantee but that would be an extra incentive.

      At this point, TR is just milking this matchup. Give it a rest. Let's see something we haven't already seen 4 times before.
      And what can that be?

      Other then the obvious pac-may, marquez is the only guy that can beat pacquiao. Whats the point of seeing pac fight any other fighter out there when he will easily beat him. Sad thing is pac and floyd have ran out of opponents.

        Not interested in seeing a 5th or 6th match or whatever the ****. We finally got closure with a KO. No need to try to keep it going. Marquez obviously gets it. And if it was Pacquiao who scored the KO this wouldn't even be discussed. Timothy Bradley just soundly defeated Marquez. It's his time.

          imo, jmm got what he wanted and left town. LOL. he knows he cant replicate that... so he wants to hold on to that memory. but fact is its 2-1-1 in favor of pac in the record books. imo, jmm EARNED the right to walk away and retire... but even rahman gave lennox a chance to redeem himself. and thats what makes me criticize jmm denying a rematch.

          for all the people who say "i dont want to see this again", are you crazy? it was boxing on its HIGHEST level and it resulted in a FOTY. nobody expected that. pac was CLEARLY beating jmm until the KO. amazing drama.

          thats like rejecting another gatti/ward or ali/frazier... ****, i would even watch berto/ortiz again. hahaha.

          lets put aside biases, pac fans are still butthurt & jmm fans are threatened at the thought of pac getting revenge... at the end of the day, if the fight is exciting? whats the problem?

          with that said, i would RATHER see pac/bradly II. winner takes on floyd...

            They fought four times. Manny had as many chances to KO Marquez as Marquez had to KO him. Bottom line, only one of them did it, regardless of who was winning. Anyway, it's over. Here comes Bradley.

              totally agree, time for new blood... just saying, i would never turn down a great competitive fight.

              like everyone says, manny & jmm can fight a hundred times, it will always be close. just so happens that jmm cashed out when he finally got a win. i get it.

                The only reason Bradley got the decision was because arum knew he could make more money from rematch.

                  Mayweather has plenty more options than Pacquiao. Pacquaio really only has Bradley and Marquez, two guys he's fought already.

                    Wasn't close the last time - I guess that's why I am very happy to see them move on.

                    Bring on Pacquiao-Bradley II. I'm taking (real) bets.-

                      i assume you got money on bradley?

                      honestly, tim proved alot against jmm. his composure was lightyears better than when he fought pac (where he fought jittery and tight, imo).

                      if tim can fight a controlled & well-paced fight, i can totally see tim getting a legit decision.
