i dont think either of those fights are a given
bradley is very tough and very strong, could be pacs hardest test providing there are no daft weight demands
and peterson is a lot bigger than marquez although you would expect marquez to win a UD

Since Bradley only knows one way, I'll favor Pacman. But Pacman will know, he was in a fight. Maybe get cut and can't fight for another 9 months.
Peterson flaws is JMM strong points. But JMM is prime for defeat. Peterson is better then Diaz in which he doesn't ALWAYS come forward. And have a champions heart and will to win. I'm going to call the Peterson vs JMM fight FOTY with Peterson winning in the 11th or 12th by TKO.
I also predict, if Peterson win, he will be Mayweather's 1st opponent after his sentence. That's win or lose May 5th for Mayweather.

Bradley is a legitimate threat to Pacquiao although I favor Pacquiao. This should be a fun fight to watch. I don't expect Pacquiao to walk through Bradley.

Manny v Bradley is a joke fight and no one should buy it. Manny should fight a legitimate welterweight. Peterson v JMM is difficult to pick but hope JMM wins, why JMM has to fight anyone else to get a rematch is a joke too.
If all these fights are true then Khan will be in limbo land.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Disagree. Given that Pac's not going to fight Floyd, what "legitimate welterweight" would present as big a challenge as Bradley? I don't think there is one. I could understand boycotting Pac's fights against Margarito and Mosley -- those were clear mismatches from the get-go (though against "legitimate welterweights"); this one is more competitive, I think, though I still have to pick Pac.
I give Peterson the slight edge over JMM. JMM has looked bad against everyone decent not named Pacquiao for years now -- he's old and ripe to lose (though I'll root for him). And a 4th JMM/Pac fight is the last thing in the world I want to see. Same fight, same outcome every time.

Pacquiao takes Bradley.
As someone mentioned before JMM v Peterson is a potential FOTY with Marquez taking the hard fought win.

How is Manny v. Bradley a joke? How is Peterson v. JMM a joke? They both sound like good fights to me considering the available options. I prefer Bradley to Cotto. Bradley is the top guy at 140 bar none. After Khan lost to Peterson, there is no more debate. Bradley is currently a top ten p4p fighter; #9 according to Ring Magazine and #8 by Yahoo. I don't see Ortiz or Berto as any better than Bradley. What other welterweights would be better? Note Bradley previously beat Abregu at 147.

Someone on this or another thread threw up the idea of Kahn/Rios at 140, which I think would be a great fight. Less consequential but more exciting than a Bradley fight and at least even with a Peterson rematch. (I do think it's BS that Peterson isn't giving Kahn a rematch, as much as I detested Kahn's post-fight conduct.)

The world has gone crazy, Bradley is not a legitimate fighter at his own weight, he is running from Khan and Peterson is doing exactly the same.
Berto would beat Bradley badly.

Rantcatrat come on man I thought you knew better than to employ a clearly biased logic like that. Khan came into the Peterson fight with 2 belts, Peterson was only his mandatory for the IBF belt not the WBA. Still Khan put both belts on the line as the champion, in Peterson's country, in Peterson's home town. Whan Khan fought Prescott it was for the pretty meaningless WBO intercontinental lightweight title which again Khan had. Why has nobody ever mentioned the fact that Prescott has lost 4 times against Vazquez, Mitchell,Mckloskey and Alvarado and after beating Khan won nothing. Khan after his loss to Prescott came back and won the WBA lightweight title, defended it then won the WBA light welter weight title which he then defended 5 times before losing to Peterson.
You cannot compare Khan not wanting to fight Prescott who had won nothing with Peterson avoiding the guy who gave him a big break in offering an extra belt and conceding home advantage. Why is nobody getting on the backs of Vazquez, Mitchell, Mckloskey and Alvarado for not giving Prescott a rematch? because he brings nothing to the table. Khan is clearly a bigger draw and at 3 in the light welterweight class rankings deserves a rematch or a fight against Bradley but both are dodging him.
When Khan fought Fagan for the WBA lightweight title he was not avoiding Prescott he was not avoiding him when he defended against Barrera he was winning in his weightclass.

After Mayweather and Marquez, Bradley is the most threatening fight out there for Pac. He has beat everyone in front of him and they have not exactly been easy opponents. I see Bradley giving Pac problems and possibly winning the fight. I dont think Pac is as good as he was a couple of years back so I might put my money on Bradley for this one.
