At this point in their careers, I think Bradley has the determination, hardcore training, great fundamental. I personally am not a huge fan of Bradley, but I have to give credit because he gives it all every bout and does the little things right that makes him a winner. Sure he doesn't carry super speed, or one-punch power, or any flash, and that is why he has not been headlined like lesser fighters. Maidana (power and heart), Ortiz (strength), Berto fast hands that also land sharp, and even Khan who had the speed and boxing ability but failed when matched against a real fighter. Bradley doesn't have these trademark traits that make the fans go Whoaa, but he does systematically out work and breakdown his opponents through every punch.
Personally, I think Pacquiao's focus is very off (not just because Marquez) with all his other activities that seem to be just as much a priority to him. Pacquiao always comes to fight, so does Bradley but Bradley bring intensity and focus. I would be cautious if this fight happens, as if Pacquiao fought a close decision (but nost people think he lost), more than likely he would get the decision. Simple reason...$$$$.
Peterson, as I said I'd have to replay the fights of his and gauge how he would perform and matchup.

Peterson is a very good fighter, and i love his story, but when you watch his fights, you'll see something that raises a huge flag, regarding his chances against upper echelon fighters, especially against relentless punchers, and thats "Putting the Ear Muffs On". Lamont does it for EXTENDED periods of time, which is why he will not last with a pure puncher.

But I do love the guy, and love his story, which is why I will personally root for him whenever he fights, as long as I don't have money on his opponent, lol...He does good "old school" bodywork like very few fighters do. If hes ever matched against someone notorious for not defending well against body attacks, Peterson would have great value, even as a dog.
