What did Bradley do to get the Pacquiao showdown ?

[goblin213]

He definitely deserved it more than Mosley, Clottey, or Margarito.

Funny how Bradley's resume at 140lbs is now what is being used to justify it. Brilliant!

[Box-Office]

He was the undefeated unified 140 champ of the world and signed to Top Rank...why wouldn't he get the fight?? would you have preferred and Alvarado fight?

Oh great so the whole "what did he do at WW" moral high ground is only reserved for Khan.

As for the 2nd point about Alvarado, well Ill answer by saying if beating Abregu gets you Pac then so can Collazo.

It just wasnt the abregu fight, bradley had a long track record of impressive wins at 140, and earned his shot at a big fight...

This exactly. Bradley earned his shot, and has proven to be elite. Abregu is no slouch either.

It's hilarious to see people defend a drug cheat like Peterson. He was even stripped of his wba title, and still somehow holds the IBF even though Matthysse blitzed him.

Alexander himself should have already taken a loss prior to his fight against Bradley.

Khan wasn't rebuilding at all, he was a two time world champion with victories over Maidana, Paulie, Kotelnik and Judah.

When Khan beat Maidana and then won the IBF against Judah it was one of the most requested fights. Yes, Bradley made the best decision for him financially but that doesn't alter the fact that he ducked Khan.

A better business decision can not be viewed as a duck..This is not a play thing or a hobby..This is these guy's career,their profession..If there is a better deal somewhere else then it's Bradley's responsibility to take it tbh..

Khan was KO'd at LW,his whole move to 140lb was a rebuilding stage dude..Now he had started to get steam when he beat Maidana..By this time tho,Bradley relationship with Shaw was really bad and Arum was dangling Pac and a butt load of money in Bradley's face..Again Bradley has responsibility's to his family and to himself to take the best deal out there..This is not a hobby,this is his livelihood..

Bradley's resume is legit period..Had Khan beat Garcia,we would have seen him get a Mayweather fight..All he would have had is a 140lb resume too..Not to mention two L's..Yet Khan could not handle his business,which lead him down the beaten path(pun intended)..

Bradley beat a lot of good fighters, Peterson, Holt, Alexander, Abregu to name a few.

Khan even publicly called out Bradley to his face and then Bradley in a couple of interview stated that Khan was a dangerous fight. It was a duck, and no different to when Khan ducked Alexander in the hope of landing a Mayweather fight. He was going to get $2 million to fight Khan, so stop using money as an excuse.

At WW he did nothing besides beating Abregu.

Well unlike past it fringe contender Collazo, Abregu was undefeated. Oh wait, Khan also went life and death with Julio Diaz at 143, as Khan requested.
