    If/when Bradley fights JMM & Pacquiao, I got Bradley by UD in both of those fights.

    Only prob I have with Bradley is that he has the skill but I dont know if he has enough power to keep Manny at bay

    yea ? forget taylor has a good punch sergio was getting tattooed by barker

    barker is solid and throws tighter straighter punches.
    i will say this. that jab that taylor was throwing in his last snoozefest could be a factor in determining how long he lasts against martinez.
    a good jab with a right behind it from a taller fighter will give martinez problems

    He'll fight, but it wont be against Manny Pacquiao as Bob Arum has already gone on record to say that Manny WILL NOT fight Floyd next, even though Floyd doesnt have to surrender until June 1st lol

    Honestly it could be either of the three if they fought. Floyd will call the shots so if he doesnt want to move up, he wont *shrugs* On the flip, Floyd may want to move up and win the WBA title at 154. I think a 150 catchweight is possible, not probable, although anything is possible.

    Lol @ Pacquiao demanding a De La Hoya fight but quiet as a field mouse when it comes to Mayweather haha

    "When the De La Hoya fight became possible, I had a big meeting -- I'll never forget it -- with Pacquiao in the suite at the Mandalay [Bay]," said Arum. "And I said: 'Manny, do you know what you're doing here? De La Hoya's so much bigger, so much stronger, you're liable to get hurt. There's a lot easier guys to fight. I'm telling you all of this because I want you to realize that maybe you shouldn't fight him.' And he got angry, and he said, 'I want to fight De La Hoya. I know I can beat him.' He looked at me with those steely eyes, and he really was sincere. It wasn't a question of the money or anything else. That's when I knew we had a helluva shot, and Freddie [Roach], who had trained Oscar, told us that Manny was going to beat Oscar. So we knew it internally, although Bruce [Trampler, Top Rank's Hall of Fame matchmaker], who knows fights, was leaning toward De La Hoya."
