    Reports are Manny has chosen Bradley for his retirement. A man he's already beaten... twice.

    For all of yall who were so confident Manny would beat Craw, he didn't share in your confidence.

    Hopefully Crawford vs Postol then.

    I saw something like that I believe on the Daily Mail.

    Anyway, yeah I guess Pac must figure it's the safer fight. But shit, even Bradley might not be a sure win for Pac right now, coming off a year layoff and a shoulder surgery.

    Crawford would give Pac a beating RIGHT NOW... There shouldn't be any doubt about that and I was surprised many on this forum were saying Manny would beat him.

    At least Khan gets snubbed again in this case, leaving him no choice but to MAN UP and fight Brook already in Wembley.

    But I wouldn't be shocked if he found another excuse to avoid that.

    Coming off a year layoff.

    The shoulder "injury" never existed.

    Arum hates Khan. A Mere was basically never in the running. He told the media he was, because well.... the glass parki is kinda delusional.

    It was basically always between TC and Bradley.

    :lol: :lol:

    That glass parki is the "most avoided" welterweight according to his groupies.

    But yeah I should have guessed it was in no way shape or form gonna be TC vs Manny.

    Actually I would like to see Pac usurp the GGG negotiations by taking on Canelo

    as I said in another thread, I highly doubted Pac would fight Crawford at this stage of his career. Still, Bradley again is highly disappointing :(

    Very disappointing.

    At least now we'll see Brook-Khan. I'm certain that happens.

    Yeah. This really is a b.s. matchup that is basically convenient for arum and his company but not really much for the fans.

    Arum can bitch and moan that the first fight was a robbery (I seem to recall he did). But in making a third match he is essentially treating the first fight as a win for Bradley. So it is fucking bullshit as usual in boxing.

    Will this be Pac's last fight? If it is, will his aim be to go all out? You can bet your last dollar that Bradley will give it his all. Could be quite a fight.

    Makes me wonder if he'll retire after this, win or lose. Braddles doesn't strike me as the type who wants to stay in the game for too long.

    I don't think he'll retire right after this, but I don't see him staying much longer either. If he indeed gets the fight with Pac, and let's say he actually WINS...

    That's Canelo's next major ppv opponent.

    After that, Bradley is set for life. I could see him becoming a trainer.

    Any fight with Bradley in it is bound to be dissapointing...

    Talk for yourself: I enjoyed the Rios destruction and the schooling he gave Marquez.

    What a worthless fight. :shit #2:

    If he didn't want want Crawford it's one thing, but it's not like him and Bradley are the only two boxers left on the planet.

    Not sure what Arum sees in this fight either. Was Berto not available to take a beating?

    Worthless fight....Will Arum try to put this shit on PPV????

    Also Pac is not DUCKING Crawford....who the fuck is Crawford???

    Pac vs. Bradley III will make more MONEY than a pac vs. crawford fight if it ends up on PPV(NOT MUCH MONEY)...

    from a British English perspective, the word "parki" is offensive, and on the same spectrum as "n*****". probably offensive not just to Brits, but also to plenty of people on the Indian sub-continent and in other countries influenced by British English. the word is associated with racist violence in the UK, and was used back in the 1970s-80s as a pejorative term for anyone with family links in the Indian sub-continent.

    "Pakistani" is the word which describes the nationality or cultural heritage; "parki" isn't really an acceptable term. maybe it gets used differently in the US, but considering khan is british and this forum has international membership, i'd say it shouldn't be used.

    oh really? were pakistanis enslaved by white masters for 100s of years and then segregated in public life for another 100? all the while being called "n****" by their hillbilly masters? or did pakistanis just migrate to uk and find like every other immigrant that life in a new country would not necessarily be easy?
