I'm impressed with Pacquiao
First of I wanna say, Pacquiao-haters, get the **** out of here... I'm a Mayweather fan and I think Floyd would beat Pacquiao by united decision if they ever fought, although it would be the hardest fight in his career. But credit is deserved where credit belongs.
After the first Bradley fight, even though Pacquiao clearly won that fight, I thought Pacquiao wouldn't have the balls for a rematch, considering how Bradley was limited by injuries last time and how Pacquiao missed a lot of times when both the commentators and the crowd made us believe his punches landed.
I thought he would just let it slip and I thought to myself: "If Pacquiao doesn't take a rematch here, then there can be only one option and that is, he's scared. **** his excuses about 'everyone saw who won', I still haven't gotten over how one of my favourite fighters, Froch, dodged a rematch with Dirrell who would obviously accept it if it was offered to him. Controversial fights needs rematches and the winner of the controversial fight is scared if it doesn't happen".
And then, all of a sudden... Pacquiao and Bradley will fight each other again! Even as a Mayweather fan, I usually find Mayweather's demands and excuses for avoiding Pacquiao weird (especially considering how I think Mayweather would win the fight), but I'm now more convinced than ever that Mayweather is the one avoiding Pacquiao.
Why?
Because, by accepting a rematch with Bradley, Pacquiao has earned my respect as a warrior who is never afraid to fight the best to prove his worth. If Pacquiao beats Bradley again, then I think Pacquiao should immediately be #2 P4P in the world.
Mayweather has still accomplished more than Pacquiao, but if Pacquiao beats Bradley directly, then Mayweather will really need to beat Pacquiao to continue to deserve his P4P #1 ranking, unless he beats Bradley too or beats Golovkin.
