    Please no! It's such an insignificant fight. Pac in reality beat him twice easily and a third fight will really do nothing for anybody except maybe help Bradleys ego a bit if he wins. I'm really not at all interested in a third fight between the two.

    Come on pac! Give a young guy a chance. Let Crawford put you into retirement and become a big time name in boxing.

    I feel a little bad for Manny. I dont think he wants to fight anymore and yet still feels indebted somehow to Arum or its still Arum bleeding the guy out of every last drop. Its puzzling to me that a guy that has given so much cant even pick his last opponent and cant speak w/o a script. I refuse to believe that Manny would have picked Bradley. I can understand why Crawford was not included. If Manny is on the slide as bad as many think then getting butchered by Crawford would not do Crawfords brand any good or by extension Arums. Also what if Manny won? There goes the future of Top Rank. A perfect fight to go out on and most likely the one Manny wanted is Marquez. No doubt Arums cut made that impossible since Marquez would have demanded 50/50.

    What a nothing fight. Pac needs to eff off into retirement, but as IamInuit said it looks like he can't.

    I have zero interest in watching a third Bradley vs Pac fight at this point. Nothing I saw in Bradley's last fight vs a faded and bloated Rios makes me think the result would be any different than the last two. My top two picks for Manny are Danny Garcia and Terrance Crawford, in that order. I feel that Crawford would shine and Danny would get stopped, but both would be very entertaining and competitive at this point. That being said, after the competition Manny has faced throughout his career, I would be ok with him fighting a gimme like Berto, Algieri...etc. (I just wouldn't pay to watch the fight, similar to how I felt about Floyd's final fight).

    I don't think much of Garcia but Pac, like Khan, to me is a good matchup for Garcia. Garcia can't follow anyone but he's damn good at timing someone diving in. And Garcia will stick to the plan no matter how badly he is getting out done. Sooner or later he will land that big counter hook because timing is the one aspect in which he excells. We know Mannys' footwork and defense are awful, we know his attacks are predictable and we know he likes to dive in. He could frontrun to a dominant victory. But he could get starched as well.

    Bob: "I love you Manny.You have made me 150 million dollars, who do you want to end this ride on?"

    Manny: "Marquez"

    Bob: "Sorry Manny but he wants to much cause it would most likely be his last also and besides, we'd like to keep this inhouse."

    I don't mind this fight. It's more of a Bradley fight for me, now that he is with Atlas so the onus is on him to perform.

    Anyway, this is at least a better than Mayweather vs Berto, even if it is Arum's doing.
