Bradley: I’m 165 pounds right now; I’m bigger and stronger than Pacquiao
February 22nd, 2012
By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s) no longer has to dehydrate himself to make 140 now that he’s moved up in weight to face WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bradley says he’s weighing at 165 right now with it all being muscle instead of fat. This could be bad for the Filipino fighter.
I have a bad feeling about this for Pacquiao. He’s starting to deteriorate as we’ve seen lately, barely won in his last fight by a gift decision, and is ready to be picked off by and taken down for a kill by the young lion Bradley. It’s what happens in boxing. Pacquaio has taken down some old lions in Oscar De La Hoya and Antonio Margarito. Now it’s Pacquiao’s turn to be worn down and ripped to pieces by the younger 28-year-old Bradley. The legs are going, the speed is decreasing, the work rate is down and the defense was never the there to begin with for Pacquiao.
I just wonder what kind of tricks his trainer Freddie Roach can come up with to get Pacquiao through this fight, because Roach has been striking out recently with his fighters Amir Khan and Jorge Linares taking losses. Roach has looked paralyzed to come up with useful advice for his fighters. It’s like the guy comes in with Plan A, and then starts stuttering when he needs to have his fighters shift a gear to get into a plan B and C.
Bradley will slightly shorter than Pacquiao, but if he balloons up to 165, he’s going to tossing Pacquiao around the ring like a rag doll on June 9th. Their promoter Bob Arum will be looking at the big money that he could have received had he simply agreed to put Pacquiso in with Floyd Mayweather Jr. go up in smoke with Bradley beating Pacquiao. A loss for Pacquiao means a bout against Mayweather will never likely happen and if does, the cash will be a fraction of what it once would have been. Mayweather wouldn’t even be in the equation because Pacquiao would be tied for a year trying to avenge the loss. Can you imagine what another loss for Pacquiao would do to him? He’d have to go into retirement and Arum would then look to have Bradley take over for Pacquiao.

Garbage. If he is all muscle at 165 lb, he won’t be able to drain and make 147. Pure BS.
@Retard: He’ll be using his head and tossing it to Pacquiao’s face. LOL.
lols……Bradley had trouble beatin casamayor…
Pac will just walk through Tim ….. Ktfo
nice article chris!!!!
Nah, Bradley will come into the fight at 146 pounds. I just hope he maintaines the strength.
If he gets stronger, Pacquiao will lose.
Pacquiao can kiss the $40 Mil goodbye to face FMJ…
@Mexican Warrior, hey man, I am on your side. JMM isn’t that fast, but he is that good. He is very talented. The most talented fighter Manny Pacquiao has ever faced.
And we all saw what happened.
Where are all the DUMB FLOYDIOTS that stated Bradley is too small.
What DUMB F **KS
Chris ….YOUR SAID BRADLEY IS TOO SMALL … NOW HE IS TOO BIG!!!
Make up your mind!!!
Tim, much respect, but your head will never be bigger than Pacquiao’s. Only Barry Bonds has a bigger melon.
‘he’s going to tossing Pacquiao around the ring like a rag doll on June 9th’
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Ha! ha! ha!
Who the hell does Bradley toss around the ring?!!!
Good ides I like t Bradley, but Manny is a good 5-1 favorite vs tim. I hope manny wins that way Floyd still has to fight hi in late 2012
if manny pacquiao beat bradley i hit to call him AMERICANXITIONER.
Bradley is going to smash pacquiao… Be looking forward to mayweather vs Bradley.
The arena will be 1/2 full with only whites and flipers who are sick of seeing blks and mexs dominating boxing . This is our sport ! You will need alot more than miss PACman if you want it !!Lol
Hey V JMM was fast enough to snap PAC head back all night on nov . 12 !! That’s a really ignorant comment . Get off PACs nuts he’s done he has to fight Bradley !!! that’s should tell your little brain what’s really going on . I would of had a little more respect for miss PACman . If he would of took the fight with cotto at 154 lbs. Hes done JMM has more heart and skills . And if JMM would have another crack at FM it will be a different fight . If FM dosent demand a catchwieght that’s don’t make sense when fighting a smaller fighter and still show up to the weigh in 7 lbs over . JMM being the true fighter that he is still accepted the fight ! Not the best Mexican fighter ever . But one who carried the Mexican fighting spirit something none of you can take away !!! Even tho the media and everyone else seems like they against the Mexican ! Haters
Nope. Chris your way wrong this fight is garbage !!! They better have a good undercard !
165 lb headbutt is really scary,
lil floyd, Cotto or Juanma is still safer for Pacman.
Im a big fan of manny but i think he will die in the ring when he faces this guy bradley. mark my words. he is just too young – to fierce – and too hungry. I don’t even like black people, it’s not like im trying to hug timothy bradley.
I’m pretty sure Chris Williams is desperately grasping at the chance to get some peach fuzz on his nut’s by these comments.
Bradley is also a lot slower and not nearly as powerful as Pac.
THE CASE THAT I CAN MAKE FOR THIS ONE IS MANNY IS FIGHTING AN UNDEFEATED WORLD CHAMPION EITHER AT HIS OR NOT FAR FROM HIS PEAK HES DEFFO NOT PAST IT AND HE,S AN AFRICAN/AMERICAN ASWELL SO THIS FIGHT SHOULD ANSWEAR THE FINAL QUESTIONS WOT KIND OV CHANCE MANNY WOULD HAVE AGAINST FLOYD
If Pacquiao had been fighting and dropping fast fighters, I would say that Bradley wouldn’t stand a chance.
Fact is, Manny Pacquiao has fought only one fast fighter since 2005.
Juan Manuel Marquez. And he really issn’t THAT fast!
Bradley is Very Fast!
Even if Bradley was at 140, Manny Pacquiao would struggle with him. We will all see how he handles the size, strength and power. If Bradley does get stronger at 147, Pacquiao could lose badly.
nice sell chris !
I wonder if Pacquiao was just to totally crush Bradley into the wind what will Chris Williams say next. His going to be like pacman fought s lesser fighter in Bradley watch!! This dude can’t keep his mind right.
If Manny Pacquiao struggles with Timothy Bradley, and I do believe he will, he should go ahead and retire because lesser fighters like Ortiz, Berto and Lewia would eat his lunch and have his wife if they chose to do so.
I see Manny Pacquiao fading like fresh meat amongst starving bums.
If Manny Pacquiao happens to get by Bradley, Arum should cash in his chips and put Pacquiao in for the Big Paayday. The unfortunate thing is that Pacquiao will also take an uglwe horrific beat down , at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
CD- I agree with you The fight is several months away….wake me up when they are in the ring and ready to fight.
eadley couldnt fill my garden shed fans,he looks a bit roids to me this could be a who`s ped`s are best fight lol
Manny will pull out of the fight 4 weeks before the scheduled date. This fight won’t happen.
SO STOP SCARING US, OUR FIGHTER IS NOT SCARED OF ANYONE!
GOT YOUR BALLS?
WOW!
NOW YOUR TELLING US TO BE SCARED?
LAST TIME, YOUR PAINTING HOW BORING THIS FIGHT WOULD BE.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND HOW WE SHOULD FEEL ABOUT THIS FIGHT CLOWN!
TELL YOU WHAT, ANYTHING THAT HAS A PACQUIAO NAME ON IT WOULD TURN INTO A BURST OF EXCITEMENT TO ANYONE! YEADDIG!
He fan be whatever when he is in fighting shape he looks small at 140 and the one time he fought at 147 and had no power at 147… But is skilled will be a good fight…. And what’s with manny with all the tim fights toe to toe it will be hard fight will train ten weeks stuff… Not what he was saying a few weeks ago.
Chris was and is always insane of Pacquiao. Wishing always that someone is going to beat Pacquiao.
thats the weight of his head
he could the new acai berry lab test
Pacman and Bradley already met each other and they were just like brothers…smiling and always making jokes.See how good is Pacman? Can the scared and coward Floyd Jr make the same as what they did to his opponent?No way!Bwahahahahahaha…
Pacquiao is going to be exposed once again . If Bradley pushes for the ko he will get it . Or else he will end up getting rob like Marquez.
google this: Dana White: “Yes Floyd, You’re Racist”
Cris, you been blinded by hate or what?
that what’ margarto said stronger and heavier
I think this guy ”bradley” is way to much and way too hungry for pacquiao at this point in his (pacquiaos) career.
Bradley looks like a weight lifter!!!
hatton was 200lbs of beer b4 fighting the english professor!
