Would Pac-Bradley III really be justified?

[PainfromUkraine]

I'm afraid to say this but a Pac/Bradley trilogy is inevitable, if Manny decides to resign at Top Rank with Bob Arum.

Yep, this...

Some have spoken (logically and predictably) about the Pac win setting up a trilogy fight with Tim, if there aren't bigger fights out there for either man. However - would this really be justified? The general consensus is that Pac won clearly the first time, and now he's won again after being written off as much more faded, and very convincingly with the scorecards, against a generally viewed as improved Bradley.

Would this fight make sense for a third instalment? In my opinion, no, but the W and L is what stands and officially its 1-1...and the Top Rank partnership means it wouldn't be hard to make, obviously...

Justified or not, Arum is going to force-feed it to us because he has nothing else to offer and he damn sure is not going to even attempt to make a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight.

[bojangles1987]

Hell no. Pac won both times and even in his diminished state is clearly the better fighter. A third fight will probably happen if Bradley wins a couple times going forward.

Considering the fact that Bradley sort of threw the fight away by chasing a KO and was winning in the early rounds, absolutely. If Bradley fights the right fight, he handles Manny.

An emphatic, underlined, all caps, bold type NO.

He has beaten Tim twice. Clearly. A third fight is just a blatant money grab. And why would Tim deserve another big PPV payday? For getting beat twice?

[Dr Rumack]

No. Certainly not in the immediate future at least. Not a lot of options out there for Pacquiao though. The Cold War really ****s him I think. There's a lot of guys in the Golden Boy stable he could make very entertaining fights with. But instead he's stuck with two guys at Top Rank who stylistically he doesn't even match up well with.

[MrRolltide91]

They will probably fight again late next year or 2016

[Bird1]

Only Alvarado that Pacman hasn't faced, then it begins again with Marquez 5, Bradley 3 and Rios 2.

I know I'm only dreaming but aren't both May and Pac running out of credible opponents? September is the time for them to face each other.

[HanzGruber]

Wouldn't be surprised if bob made it again. There wasn't even a need for this one really except for official records

[AntonTheMeh]

pac won twice. so, no.
