Broner and it's not even close. I'm a Bradley fan too but that book was closed. Pacquiao is just the better overall fighter.

As for me, I would have loved the Broner fight for mainly one reason.

Broner is someone who I felt that Pacquiao could get motivated for. Broner is an "in your face" type of character and he would have motivated Pac. Manny loves fighting guys like that, and it would have made for a very exciting fight night.

As for Bradley, not only do I think Pac will have a hard time getting motivated for, I also believe they'll rob Manny if the fight is close. Bradley, after all, was Bob Arum's choice, not Pac's There's a reason behind that, there always is.

Another good reason, Pac holds two dominant wins over him.

But now, since Bradley is slightly better and Pac is showing his age, it won't surprise me if the fight is much closer and they give it to Bradley.

Arum chose Bradley for a reason...

Because Pacquiao had Koncz call Broner directly. They both (Pac and Koncz) went behind Arum's back to try to get the Broner fight to happen. Koncz claims Pacquiao wasn't interesting in Crawford, and that he couldn't get motivated for Bradley.

Broner, for sure. Although it would have been another beating for Broner, the build up and destruction of AB come fight night would have been entertaining. Also, it would have been hilarious to see Pacfans use Pac's win over lil bro as proof of what a two handed Pacquiao could do to a shoulder rolling master .

I think Bradley is far more likely to beat Pacquiao than Broner. Broner has shown he doesn't do well against good fighters who punch hard and attack hard with both hands flying from all angles. Maidana and Porter both swarmed him with a vicious two handed attack and Broner couldn't handle it and resorted to excessive holding as his only defense. I think Pacquiao will attack Broner with his lightning fast, two fisted swarming attack and beat the hell out of him in Porter and Maidana fashion. I don't like Broner and I would enjoy him getting his ass kicked. Pacquiao will probably beat Bradley in a close hard fought battle. It will be a good fight but I have seen it twice already.

sorry to bother, but where is this coming from? what is going on, was Pac really not interested in the Bradley fight?( I'm damn sure not ).. I just don't feel like reading all the pages to figure out what the source is, to bad he wasn't interested in Crawford a well, but I suspect maybe Arum wouldn't want to risk Crawford losing, even if that is to Pac, where Bradley if he wins good for Bob but he doesn't have to sweat Bradley losing as much as he does Crawford

Yup, it would have been hilarious.
