Pacquiao Vs Bradley

[Rantcatrat]

If all these fights are true then Khan will be in limbo land.

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.)

Khan deserves a rematch but I don't feel sorry for Khan given that he wouldn't give Prescott a rematch. Peterson is angling for bigger fish to fry just like Khan did.

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.

The 2 matches mentioned are very good although im still not even 50% that they will happen

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.

?? This is more or less the exact opposite of my impression of Bradley. I'd say he's workmanlike, technically sound but just not very dynamic. Where are you getting "wild" from? Pacquiao is wilder than Bradley.

Just the way he throws his punches he opens himself up a lot. I wouldnt say he is good technically.

Bradley is the epitome of a boxer-puncher. He does not wait for you to come to him, but he does not exactly smother his own style. He IS Evander Holyfield at 5'7"...

This is absolutely the best fight Pacquiao could be faced with outside of Mayweather. But deep down, I think this is a harder fight than Mayweather. Bradley is actually bigger than pacquiao @ ~154fight night, has a GRANITE chin, and he fights to win rounds.

I know some people including me hate his noggin getting in the way of everything, but I think he has made considerable changes to try and avoid that moniker.

This fight gets my two thumbs up... But sadly,I just don't think it is marketable. Bradley's career is going to go down the tube if he doesn't land a good fight soon. He's really a remarkable matchup for anyone.

I also would like to note that Peterson NEVER had a come forward style before the Khan fight. Somebody had mentioned this and I was just recollecting the stinker he and Ortiz put up for a draw, where Peterson was almost content to be an opponent that night until he turned up the gas in teh later rounds to get some points back... I think he brought the house to Khan. Great fight, but I don't expect him to come out with the same fire lit under him.

I concur with Shza on this one. Like Ward, Bradley lacks power and it affects his popularity. Another similarity is that both fighters have been accused of employing headbutts as a strategy.
