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.

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.

Wisdom, compassion and courage are the three universally recognised moral qualities of men.
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.
I'll personally be rooting for Bradley and Peterson. Gotta go with the underdogs, want to see the unexpected happen. Should be some really good fights

Bradley is just too Wild. I dont see him being about to win a round against Pacquiao. He could probably end up going down Ricky Hatton style.

Huh? After Khan got knocked out by Prescot his first fight back was Fagan but it wasnt for the WBA title. Neither was his fight vs Barrera. Somehow those fights earnt him a shot at the WBA light welterweight title, but he never looked great until he beat Judah. That was his most impressive win but in his next fight he lost to a guy who Tim beat pretty easily. Khan has to wok his way up now and get back in line.
Bradley has managed to keep his zero and if Pac fights and beats him it will be the Pacmans best win in years. Marquez - Peterson is another great fight. I pick Peterson on points but its a pick em.
There is very little chance Bradley beats Manny, just cannot see it. Bradley will be the next Clottey, collect his pay cheque and disappear for a long time. Once they see the pay cheque they think they should earn that every fight.
Khan is Bradley’s and Peterson’s back up, the tossers.
