Comments Thread For: Garcia: Bradley Has a Shot To Beat Pacquiao For Real

[hectari]

Bradley is not good business. The fans are not demanding that fight. He lost both fights against Pac even with the dubious win

Of all the fights in top rank stable, bradley is the only option for manny a crawford fight will only benifit crawford, hbo and top rank, and hbo wants arum to get manny to fight crawford so they can give crawford the power and have a new cash cow. Boxing fans on a message board dont account for the fans. pacs next fight is not going to sell well either way he will do very low numbers, if maywaethers last fight did super low horrible numbers below 400k, what do you think pacs are going to do? Even lower than that, the backlash is real and the floyd berto fight is the fact and proof, if floyd knocked out pacquiao that berto fight would have done over a million. but both manny and floyd left the fans with a bad taste in their mouth and the people felt conned and casuals now hate boxing again claiming floyd and manny fixed the fight and floyd paid manny off in miami to let him win.

Terence Crawford is too much of a threat, Manny doesn't want to go out on a loss. I'm surprised they didn't pick Khan instead. Big name and very chinny/vulnerable...but he's not in-house for Top Rank I guess.

So I suppose "fans" were clamoring for

Mayweather/Berto
Mayweather/Guerrero
Berto/Ortiz
Broner/Maidana
Rios/Chaves
Pacquiao/Algieri
Algieri/Provodnikov
Rios/Alvarado 3
Cotto/Martinez
Wilder/Molina

I'm sorry, but you don't know sh...about boxing. It's about business.

Everyone claiming Crawford should get it - that's an emotional reaction. Crawford hasn't fought anybody worth noting yet. He's not a brand name, not until he beats someone (else) important. That fight makes nearly no money.

Everyone claiming Khan should get it, after watching Khan get schooled by Chris Algieri (the guy Manny literally walked through for 12 rounds) is delusional.

That leaves Bradley and MAYBE Broner. We all know if Broner gets that fight, it'll be Broner/Maidana all over again.

Bradley lost the second fight because he's clumsy. He nearly lost the first fight (on the books) because of that same clumsiness. I said many times that Joel "I'MA STOP IT!!" Diaz was holding the man back. Let's test that theory.

Bradley is the only one deserving and the only one who could sell tickets to that fight against Pacquiao. All they have to do is market off the controversial first, market how Bradley was schooling Manny for the first half of the second, and top it off with Atlas' firemen speech and him KO'ing Brandon Rios when even Manny couldn't. It sells itself.

Possible , Pac is that far done , doesn't mean it should happen though

Possible , Pac is that far done , doesn't mean it should happen though

He is far done, watch the first Bradley fight, he still had speed and footwork enough to keep up with Bradley, he only pulled his punches and let Bradley off the hook several times, the rematch, Pac looked much different slower, hesitant, he still mixed it up a bit but he didn't have the same killer instinct, the Marquez KO ruined Pacquiao, if anyone is responsible for the Floyd vs Manny fight being sorry and boring credit Marquez, if he never knocked Pacquiao out, Pac would have just kept bum rushing and trading blows with dudes. Marquez made Pac more hesitant and refined in his boxing. The wild cat was no more.

Bradley hits harder than Manny, the reason is he stopped Rios and Pacquiao couldn't stop Rios and Pac hit Rios flush with so many combos and still couldn't wobble him, Bradley stunned and dropped and finished Rios with many shots including the ending body shot.

And Bradley hurt MAnny worse than Manny hurt Bradley, the rematch Bradley hit Pac with a loaded right hand that sent Pac flying back and land on wobbled legs. Like I said 3rd times a charm, the only problem is if Bradley wins he wont fight Crawford, both of them have gone on record saying they are brothers and wont fight.

Bradley makes sense since he's picked up a few fans around her with his win over Rios but I still think Pacquaio has his number. The year off has seriously declined Pacquaio further I still see a UD for Pacquiao. I just don't see Bradley out boxing Pacquaio.

You are too dumb for words.

Bradley can definitely do better. He suffered leg injuries in both fights. The first foght was really close. However, i just can't get over how he was out on his feet against vargas and all the damage he took against chaves. Pacquiao may just stop him this time, bradley is no mayweather and Atlas is just a pretender. Rios looked like a sack of shyt against bradley, he's just a punching bag to look good against.

its very good vegas business not the fans. thats why the fight will happen

[Nightfall]

Only Bob Arum wants to see Bradley/Pac 3. It is the typical TR bs in just providing what fighters they have. I agree with Crawford being a real threat if his chin holds

pacquiao himself wants to see the fight happen. marquez is his first choice and bradley is the second. that came from konzc
