What did Bradley do to get the Pacquiao showdown ?

[soul_survivor]

At 140lbs he shamelessly ducked Amir Khan. Then the fact he had a previous win at WW over Carlos Abregu apparently warranted a Pacquiao showdown. Khan just beat Luis Collazo who even at this stage is a better win than a no name contender in Abregu.

Collazo > Abregu.....even today.

Don't bring up "oh he went 24 rounds doe, he schooled Marquez doe". That was after getting the 1st fight. Im specifically asking what did he do the 1st time to get Pacquiao?

So?

at 147, not much, you're damn right but at 140 Bradley showed he was the best or one of the best, unifying against DA, beating the likes of Witter, Holt, Peterson etc. He was the leading guy at 140, and as it so often happens, the best in one division fights the best in the other.

You can ask, what did Duran do to warrant a SRL fight?

What did SRL do to warrant a Hagler bout?

What did Foster do to warrant a shot at the HW title?

Jim Lampley: "It's over! It's all over! Soul survivor drops Box Office with a big right hand! The count's up to 5, but I don't think he has the legs to get up!"

Larry Merchant: "Referee Kenny Bayless taking a close look at Box Office but his eyes are glazed; a look of fear and hopelessness on the face of the man who has stood up at the count of 9...there is no glimmer of hope here, just...impending doom...and pointless slaughtering."

Lampley: "Bayless allows the fight to continue and--another big right hand RRRROOOCKS the dazed fighter!"

Max Kellerman: "The booty dew, Jim! That's the booty dew! And he just booty-dew'd out of the ring and onto one of the judges' table."

Emanuel Steward: "This went EXACTLY as I predicted."

Forgetting that Bradley been on the P4P top 10 for the last 4 years now , Has Khan hit top 10 yet?

My point is Khan deserves a Pacquiao fight for those who say otherwise just look at Bradley.

The Luis Carlos Abregu fight did not get him the Pacquiao fight. Had it been closer to the Pacquiao fight, then you could say that. Bradley fought Abregu way before there were talks of him switching to Top Rank (and Bob Arum saying that he'd give him a shot at Pacquiao for signing). I am almost positive when the Pac-Bradley fight was signed, people weren't thinking, "Gee, I think Tim deserves that fight because he beat Luis Carlos Abregu." Abregu didn't get Tim the Pacquiao fight, it's a bunch of other factors (whether you include Abregu or not):

A-) Undefeated
B-) Two time unified champion
C-) Beat an undefeated Lamont Peterson
D-) Beat undefeated champion Devon Alexander
E-) Signed with Top Rank
F-) All of the above

I get what you're saying, most of his wins were at 140, but he got the shot anyway.

What's exactly your angle on Khan? Are you trying to use Tim as a parallel to point out that Khan is worthy of a fight with Pacquiao (despite having only one win over a WW?) Cause if you are, then yeah...I don't have a problem with that. He needs to jump on it now, though before he's on the bad end of an upset.

That is precisely the point of this thread. I think I should have worded the thread title different.

Funny, but goes to show how desperate you are to make a point, because at WW Bradley hasn't done a thing besides Abregu. Now his fans have to go take his resume out from 140lbs.

btw A man who gets up after being knocked down is not someone who is scared otherwise he would've stayed down. Your logic is flawed. Maybe if you had boxed in real life you'd know.

Again with the post Pacquiao 1 facts. What did he do before that? Yes beat Abregu and duck Khan.

Good for him, but the whole point of the thread was Khan does deserve Pacquiao right after Collazo if Bradley did after Abregu.

Umm, bradley was P4P before PAC.

Me personally, I don't really care if khan gets the PAC fight. I'd like to see it. But bradley has done quite a bit more than khan and is more deserving of any fight out their than khan is IMO.
