yeah, bradley is not a very interesting fighter (nice guy, though) but i think a convincing victory over him would be a true test of pac's place as second best welter since it would give tim his first official loss and then maybe put a little more value in getting a floyd fight in a year or two...
and you are right, bradley got a little better in the meantime
This is pretty much what I think. Pac-Bradley wouldn't be an exciting fight, but I think Bradley was new to the big stage and Pac was a better fighter that night (even with Bradleys hurt ankles and all). Bradley has improved since that fight and Manny is slowly fading. It would be a fight I want to see and one I would pick Bradley in.
I think Bradley already deserves the #2 spot at Welterweight right now, but I think fighting and beating Manny would secure that.
And lets put the kibosh on Bradley not selling well...because he never will. Doesn't mean us hardcore fans don't like watching him.
Word is that that Prov - Manny is not looking to be made, not because Manny is scared (maybe he is), but mainly because Manny isn't interested in fighting Prov because he trains with Prov and likes him.
And Floyd-Manny won't happen until Bob Arum is out of the picture...people who don't know need to read up on that. Floyd will not negotiate with Bob Arum. They hate each other's guts and that is, was, and always has been the reason why a Floyd-Manny fight has not been made.
Top Rank though, is running out of interested options for their fighters, which sucks because I would be really interested in seeing Bradley, Prov, Manny, and JMM against any GB fighter...but rehashing the round robin at TR is getting stale.
