If Casamayor can't pull it off i'd like Brandon Rios to be the one to do it, they should fight next :)
Bradley will not have an easy time in this fight. He should win the fight. But him losing is not completely out of the question
Ive found Casa performs better when he's properly motivated, theres some pre fight venom there between joel and bradley ( cause admittedly bradley is a douche :cool: ) all this head shoving and tension at the pressers and weigh in.. and coming off some losses he wishes he didnt take..
I seem to remember some pre fight tension before the Katsidis fight..
Guerrero is more of a boxer type than bradley, Bradley seems to me to be a fit busy puncher style but doesnt pack a big punch

He went up a massive 4 pounds. He just stopped dehydrating himself and got to eat fully.
He is a little guy who actually weighs around the weight limit in the ring where every guy he faces makes weight and ballons up to the upper 150s.
Naw i'd say Pac is a full welter, He can spark a dood at welter, he can take a punch at welter, he's been there for time and is comfortable taking all challengers at the weight.
It doesn't make it less impressive that he moved up so far but people grow as they age.
now saying that Pac is a full on junior middle would be a different story, just like how they were reluctant to take on guys at 154 with a big height advantage.. i'd say his frame/arm length etc is welterweight maximum, thats where his comfort zone ends
Pacquiao is a welterweight like Sergio Martinez is a middleweight or Miguel Cotto is a junior middleweight in that all three are small for their weight classes, but are talented enough to dominate them. For example, Tim Bradley is closer to Manny Pacquiao's size than say Mike Jones and James Kirkland is closer to Sergio Martinez's size than say Peter Quillin, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't favor Paquiao or Martinez against Jones or Quillin.

I just don't buy that Marquez is going to give up in this one. This is going to be a scrap for however long it lasts.
Right on partner..

He fights at Welter, he is a Welter, pretty simple really.
Of course. It's a mute point all this 'if he didn't eat a millions calories a day he would be 138' nonsense. The fight is at WW for a reason, Manny is a WW.
'Moot'... :) :p ;D
