Bradley: It’s time for a new face; I’m going to beat Pacquiao
February 23rd, 2012
By Chris Williams: Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s) sees himself as the new blood in the welterweight division moving forward to take on an aging lion that’s lost a couple of teeth through age and many ring wars in WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) in their fight on June 9th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bradley is the new face, while Pacquiao is the old one who barely beat 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez in his last fight last November. In looking at that fight, you couldn’t help but see how Pacquiao has aged and slipped as a fighter.
I believe Bradley can do it as well, especially after seeing Pacquiao’s last three fights against Marquez, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito. Pacquiao isn’t the same fighter no matter what his trainer Freddie Roach says. Pacquiao is now showing vulnerability and you can’t say he’ll beat Bradley with any degree of certainty after Pacquiao’s last performance. Pacquiao has far too many flaws still in his game after all these years of being with Roach. Pacquiao still squares up in front of his opponents and is incredibly easy to hit and he does it in training as well.
Roach doesn’t even try to correct him, and that’s pretty sad. If people wonder why Pacquiao has looked so bad in his last three fights it’s because he’s got bad fundamentals and has been getting by on physical talent alone all these years. Now that his speed and stamina are starting to erode, the skills aren’t there for Pacquiao to make up the slack. If Pacquaio squares up against Bradley, he’s going to get hit a lot in this fight, even more than he did against the near 40 Marquez.

Hey Chris I got 20 on PAC. What’s up???
Bradley is like the many who have faced Pacquiao in the past.
They talk tough until they get hit with that left hand.
C’mon Tim, you know you’r going to win.
Pacman has no choice but to face you. lil Floyd has to settle for a leftover to avoid you.
Why there’s only very few floydiots left commenting lately? Are they frustrated and feel so depressed about their idol the scared and coward Floyd Jr? Especially the worst ever news about coward Floyd Jr and he’s convicted as well? C’mon meeen…don’t be please?Bwahahahahahahaha!
Yeah Bradley it is time for a new face… your banged up face after a go at Pacman. This guy will get annihilated, and it couldn’t happen soon enough. Payback for all those chrome dome missiles he’s dealt out through the years.
If Manny KOs Bradley – Floyd will never ever never ever get in the ring with him – Fact
Why because Bradley is better than Floyd right now and Mannny will not let Floyd pay him off to stop punching (Why Manny has more money) !
Floyd is the biggest hype job we’ve seen – pick and choose em Floyd !
Bradley belongs with Ortiz and all the other wannabes. Talks the $1,000,000 game. Pac will ruin him.
Bradley was only dreaming in the wonderland.But when he woke up,Bradley will be surprised that he’s actually in a hospital for treatment.Bwahahahahahahaha!
@ Chris Williams:
What last 3 fights did you watch ???
Lets see Manny beat Mosley better than Floyd and Manny didn’t about get KOd !
Manny beat a fighter that Floyd was scared of (Antonio Margarito) badly !
Then he had a tough fight with JMM who put on 20 lbs of muscle somehow ?? Hmmm ?
And you think Floyd is the best of the best ? So how did Manny struggle in his last 3 fights ?
Only Marquez win Pacman…

@Ben, only you and a handful of other Pilipinos’ feels Manny Pacquiao should be ranked in the top 5 P4P rankings.
As mentioned earlier, the day after the Bradley fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be #1 in every ranking.
************************
then how come he is still in the top P4P list? Are you as blinded as Floyd?
Bradley HASN’T GOT A CHANCE AS PAC WILL COME IN FULLY LOADED AND SWELLED WITH THE JUICE. WELL BABY PAC MUST HAVE HIS PEDS
With regard to Manny Pacquiao, anything negative about this exciting boxer you can hear it first from Chris William. That’s Chris expertise.
Manny Pacquiao stepped on JMM’s feet all night, yet still lost.
Good thing Pacquiao had Master Daddy Bobby’s judges!
There is no doubt about it! Timothy Bradley’s shinning bald head is the prime bullet against Manny Pacquiao in this fight. The only 3rd defeat of Manny’s boxing career is HEADBUTT against Erik Morales.
Yo Manny, Mosley was in his early 60′s!
Now even though Little Timothy is smaller, watch him beat Manny Pacquiao’s azz…
I betcha!!!
Hopkins wanted Manny Pacquiao to fight Black-American fighters. Well, Mosely was running like a lady inside the ring; Bradley may get beat up so badly or even get knocked out. Who’s next after Bradley?
One down, two to go.
THE KING OF THE LIONS IS ONLY 33 YEARS OLD AND HIS WHOLE TEETH ARE AS STRONG AS METALS. HE WILL EAT ANYONE.
Bradley will suffer the sane pain that JMM suffered. He win in the ring, but lose on the cards.
Another “Suspicious Controversial Gift Decision” for Manny Pacquiao.
Master Daddy Bobby and his judges at their best!
IMHO, this is how it should be based on performance:
1) Floyd Mayweather Jr
2) Sergio Martinez
3) Andre Ward
4) Abner Mares
5) Manny Pacquiao (A GIFT)
BRADELY WILL BE JUST ANOTHER VICTIM. I CAN FEEL THE PAIN HE WILL SUFFER.
It is clear as the waters of the ocean that Manny Pacquiao is way way way ahead of Floyd Mayweather in number of fightbouts, boxing achievement and accomplishment, boxing trophies and awards and in current rankings.
My biggest QUESTION IS: WHY DOES HE WANTS THE LION’S SHARE OF THE POT MONEY WHEN IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND? MANNY IS SUPPOSED TO GET THE BIGGER SHARE INSTEAD, BUT HE IS SO GENEROUS THAT HE GIVES MAYWEATHER A FAIR SHARE OF 50/50
Yes Mayweather is ahead on loses (0 defeat) vs (3 losess)
BUT MANNY PACQUIAO IS WAY AHEAD IN NUMBER OF BOUTS (59) AGAINST (42) HOW’S THAT?
The last Pay Per View of Many against Marquez, Manny got highter ppv than Mayweather against Ortiz. Can anyone explains this? I am completely confused to this day!
I am a Manny fan … but for the body of work they have done in the last 5 years.
Sergio #1
Manny #2
Floyd #3
But we know the P4P ranking is based on popularity then body of work.
@Ben, only you and a handful of other Pilipinos’ feels Manny Pacquiao should be ranked in the top 5 P4P rankings.
As mentioned earlier, the day after the Bradley fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be #1 in every ranking.
The question is…How far will Manny Pacquiao fall?
In boxing ONE PUNCH can make a big difference. What if Floyd Mayweather gets knockout by Miguel Cotto?
In my scorecard, Manny Pacquiao is still the No.1 P4P until he is defeated.
Mayweather reminds me of a kid that talks sh1t when the other kid is far away and then runs away when he sees the other kid coming. Sad for floydiots
@Jeff41…. Don’t know how ol u are but zan was top.ten in the world in his prime… Khan would not last 4 rounds with the old zab…. Too powerfull….and stop stressing manny everyone he faced last.three years was coming off.a loss vs an elite boxer… They call him he king of.left overs for a reason…
Bradley, lol. The same clown who is scared of facing Khan!
@Jeff41…. Who has manny faced in there prime???? Marquez period. Everyone else.coming off.loses or wars with other people and to answer ur question. Costillo…. Diego coraless. R.I.p… And hatton mosley delahoya and marquez all ranked top ten p4p in the world when floyd faced them… Ortiz ranked #2 welt in world when he faced him. And for he record cotto and mosley refused to fight floyd when they where undefeated …. Mosley refused twice….
Can anyone name an elite welterweight at his prime Floyd has ever fought? No, right? It says it all. Please don’t name Judah. The guy has never beaten an elite fighter and was recently humiliated by Khan.
A great fighter is more concerned about an opponent’s fists, not a potential head butt that could happen at any point, at any time, vs. any opponent.
Really? That’s why Pacquiao is worried?
I REALLY DOUBT IT! MANNY PACQUIAO IS WORRIED ABOUT LITTLE TIMOTHY BRADLEY!
Before, numerous Boxing fans thought that Manny Pacquiao was ducking Shane Mosley. What happened? He fought and defeated him. Nobody can tell now that Manny Pacquiao is ducking Timothy Bradley.
Before, numerous Boxing fans thought that Manny Pacquiao was ducking Shane Mosley. What happened? He fought and defeated him. They say Manny ducks Timothy Bradley. What happens? Manny Pacquiao is in a showdown with Bradley on June 9th.
Before, numerous Boxing fans thought that Manny Pacquiao was ducking Shane Mosley. What happened? He fought and defeated him. The same holds true, they say Manny ducks Timothy Bradley. What happens? Manny Pacquiao is in a showdown with Bradley on June 9th.
The difference now is, both men are fighting without either of them having a disadvantage. Nobody is weakened or drained.
If anyone is disadvantaged it’s FMJ in size. But his skills are waaaaaay over Miguel Cotto’s level.
MANNY PACQUIAO’S MOST CONCERN AND WORRY IS TIMOTHY BRADLEY’S HEAD. IT MIGHT BE A DUPLICATE COPY OF BRADLEY’S WIN AGAINST DEVON ALEXANDER IF AND WHEN MANNY IS DEFEATED.
He could beat Pacman, Mayweather, Vitali and Wlad together and still wouldnt sell.
Boxing fans have seen the difference of performance between Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather in a fight with same opponent, Juan Manuel Marquez. Now is the turn of Floyd Mayweather in facing Miguel Cotto. Can Mayweather repeat the TKO win of Manny Pacquiao? Well, let us wait and see on May 5th. We can still see how Mayweather deals with Miguel Cotto, the leftover of Manny.
It makes little sense to think that Pacquiao can win vs. a pedigreed fighter like FMJ, that started fighting at age 5, came up through the US boxing circuits, all the way through the Olympics. PURE FUNDAMENTALS!!!
Manny Pacquiao has never been taught defense, and has so many weaknesses, a skilled fighter will easily exploit them as shown by JMM.
Bradley will exploit him exactly the same way.
It’s not all Pacquiao’s fault. He was never taught properly. And Roach has done little to help him improve. I have a problem with his P4P Ranking to be manipulated by Bob Arum in the way that he has.
I do think Pacquiao would be a better fighter if Emanuelle Stewart had met him 15 years ago. Now that the old drainables are gone, the young lions will begin eating Manny Pacquiao’s lunch.
Pac should be moved down in the p4p rankings. He has not been impressive in his last few fights.
Realistically, Manny Pacquiao should not be in the top 5. His ranking was manipulated by Bob Arum. If “Catchweights” were never allowed to be used, the oucomes of many of Pacquiao’s fights would be different.
I don’t think Pacquiao could beat Berto or Ortiz.
@v…. Everyone actually has floyd ranked top spot except ring mag and hey will move him to number one after what he does to cotto and after manny has another bad performance in june… Don’t be shocked if manny falls to #3 behind floyd and Martinez….
This whole hype job making Manny Pacquiao the #1 P4P Fighter in the world is the biggest Mind FK’ing the boxing world has ever seen.
Genius move by Daddy Bobby.
@Ben and v…. What are u talking about 5 rounds?????? Bradley is a lot better then that he would last 6 rounds vs floyd… And yea he is gona make manny look bad…. Floyd is p4p #1 in every ranking but ring mag. That will change june 10th.
@Anonomous, you may be right, but I hope Bradley has more integrity than that…
The Bradley/Pacquaio fight is not a good fight, just good ole entertainment. No way was Bradley signed by Arum to win. His job is to look good losing, so that the fraud can continue. Top Rank fighters and Bob Arum are equivelent to the World Wrestling Entertainment and Vince McMahon. Everything is stagged to look real. This fight is fixed. No way does Arum allow Bradley to disrupt what he is hoping to be a big pay day against Mayweather. This fight is just to make Pacquiao look good.
@Anonymous
Mate that’s popular belief of some boxing fans. For me professional boxing is a combination of competition, entertainment and business. It won’t go beyond this line.
I would relish in the beatdown Pacquiao would take from Cotto at 154 pounds…
Only the Ghost (weight-drained) Cotto is a leftover of Manny. The real Cotto (not weight-drained) who Manny avoided will be facing Mayweather on May 5th.
@Derrick, prove it…Tell Pacquiao to fight Cotto at 54 pounds…
PLEASE!!!!
Reemption would feel sooooooo good!
@Ben, I finally agree with you. If Manny Pacquiao doesn’t shine like the sun, he should consider retirement.
Little Timothy Bradley wouldn’t last 5 rounds vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Little Timothy will take Pacquiao to Hell and back June 9th.
Cotto is a leftover of pacquaio (fighter of the yeAR)
It is hightime for Manny Pacquiao to shine like the sun in the sky in this forthcoming bout with Timothy Bradley to prove once more the king of P4P.
I am a boxing fan of Manny and I saw his last performance was below par. This fight is a testing ground for him whether he’s on the down trend or we are still hoping for the MEGA FIGHT with Mayweather.

Manny Pacquiao’s trend of incessant winning is his SPECIALTY
defeating CHAMPIONS. Look back at the mirror and see Manny’s shadow
___________________________________________________________________
No it’s because of carefully planned hand-picked Top Rank rejects specifically signed by Arum the mob boss whose styles where tailor-made for Pacquiao to take advantage of. Not to mention that some were even weight-drained. And let’s be real, had it not been the judges giving Manny a gift decision of Marquez, the phoney streak would be over.
More people want to watch Pacquiao/Bradley over Maywather/Cotto?
Let’s compare PPV numbers between the 2 fights…Deal?
Aren’t midgets amazing?
@Ben, was that before Pacquiao’s loss to Juan Manuel Marquez with the help of Daddy Bobby’s judges?
Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley is more exciting to watch than that of Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto because they are both offensive fighters. I see blood splattered all over and this fight would end up in TKO. I rarely predict boxing showdown, but this is the most predictable.
So Bradley thinks that there is going to be a new face in boxing should he beat Pacquiao. Hate to burst Bradley’s bubble, but the problem with him beating Pacquiao is that he would not have beaten the face of boxing, but the fake of boxing. The true face of boxing is Mayweather and Bradley still would have to conquer that mountain to become the face of boxing. Plus anyone that is not a stationary target can beat Pacquiao. Marquez did it, but got robbed, and Mosely although knocked-down once, was barely touched by Pacquiao. So Bradley winning is will be nothing special, just the fulfilling of the inevitable was bound to happen whenever the one standing across from Pacquiao was not a slow-footed robot.
Manny Pacquiao’s trend of incessant winning is his SPECIALTY
defeating CHAMPIONS. Look back at the mirror and see Manny’s shadow.
I see a “Suspicious Controversial Gift Win” to Manny Pacquiao over Timothy Bradley to save the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Bob’s Judges will be in the spotlight once again…
@Jeff41
Do you wake-up everyday to eat, drink, and talk about Mayweather. It seems that you have an obsession with Mayweather and its going to cause you to lose it one day. Stay focused, we are trying to have a discussion about the Bradley and Pacquiao fight, not Mayweather. Give it a rest, or seek help.
@Down goes Pacman
So you acknowledge a hatred for a public figure that you almost certainly do not know in real life, yet you then continue as though you do not see this as a problem?
I think you need help, my friend, in all due respect.
Manny is in a no-win situation. If he beats Bradley badly, people will say he’s P4P No.1, and he should have beaten him. If he KOs Bradley early and brutally, Floyd will go into hiding for another two years. And if he gets only a decision to win, Floyd will use it as an excuse not to offer Manny 50% and avoid him again. But I think no matter what, Manny will look better in beating Bradley than Floyd will in winning from Cotto.
@ Big Fake Nose. Floyd doesn’t generate PPV, it’s his opponents that do. His announcement to fight Cotto didn’t make headways and predictions of PPV buys were poor, why do you think they added Saul Alvarez. This is the reason why the fight will generate PPV, and the 2nd P4P fighter in the world will without a doubt claim it was all for him. Pacquiao doesn’t need a strong fight card to generate PPV buys. His fan base is world wide, something Floyd will never have. Wake up dude.
Bradley will lose. But at least he had the courage to face Manny in the ring – even if it’s for his biggest payday. Unlike, Floyd who either makes excuses to avoid Manny or goes to jail or retirement each time.
Really, tell that to Manny’s last 15x opponents. You predicted Manny would lose his last dozen fights. I think you should apply at Target online, because this writing gig isn’t working for you.
little timmy is just saving floyd a job. Manny was never good enough to share the ring with floyd anyway – especially with a 50/50 split.
Manny shouldnt get another shot at even discussing a fight with floyd again.
you snooze you lose Bob!
I will bet one month salary to you chris william, 1-1.
Why should Manny get 50% ??? Floyd Mayweather fights always sell more ppv. Manny’s skills are a joke these days. Juan Marquez beat him clearly. Only die hard Pac fans stick up 4 him now. People said Margarito or Cotto would give Floyd a difficult fight. Mosley knocked out Margarito unlike Pac. How are Marg. or Cotto going to beat Mayweather? I know you all hate Floyd because of what you here in the media. Floyd is a woman beater and Pac is a saint right? Pac is a politician and gambles most of his winnings away and also cheats on his beautiful wife and has kids out of wedlock.. Who cares about that? Floyds skills are better as he dominates every style of fighter, not just the ones that stand and trade so he should get more..
Pac has not looked good for years. If he looks bad again here, it will be the end of Mayweather knocking out the midget. The midget and Arum want all the money and to call all the shots. Pac has not had a knock out in years so if he looks bad here good bye Pac… He should retire and let others that still have skills have some limelight…
A fight between to people I hate…I’ll takes the lesser of two evils, Bradley
@Foreal, unfortunately man, I agree. Even if Pacquiao gets the “Suspicious Controversial Win”, this will kill the FMJ showdown because there will be no way possible that he can ask for 50% and be serious about getting it.
It simply will not happen.
It will be a long and dark night for Manny Pacquiao. Bradely was a complete mis-culculation and he is going to retire Manny Pacquiao. The possibility of a 40 million check with Floyd has been thrown to the wind. Arum’s greed will haunt him this time arround.
Actually, you can dislike the writer all that you want, but he is spot on in this article. Freddie Roach has not helped Pacquiao defensively, or fundamentally.
Little Timothy Bradley will be the devil on wheels for Manny Pacquiao. Its going to be a long long night, June 9th…

More often than not, the racially abusive people are always the end scaum of their race, with nothing to show for it, but bitterness.
Anybody who still think and talk on racial lines has been left in the old ages. The human race is still a human race.
Black is black from UK to USA… they all do trash and they all talk trash…
WONDER HOW LONG THIS COMMENT IS GONNA LAST THIS TIME
Chris Williams and Floyd have a very deep and meaningful relationship. Kinda like a retarded boy and his dog. GOOD BOY Chris Williams. Huussaaguboy? Huussaaguboy? Now sit you DUMB MUTT.
Like hell i’ll read this cr@P
The truth of the matter is that Manny has his hands full. Bradley will not shock the world because Manny is very beatable.
pac looked bad in his last 4 fights cause he stopped the drugs..people were starting to get onto to him.he wont be so luck this time fighting a more fit challenger.well even if he beats brad by bribing the judges again our man money would retire him next.
Mannys issues have nothing to do with age… Be is what 32 33… They have kept manny fighting slow stationary fighters that are easy to hit every time he took on anyone with movement he had trouble his entire carear….. He will have trouble with bradley but they will give.him the decision.
Floyidiots deserves to be emb@rr@ssed so are all the poor excuse of an article you’re writing but at least have the b@llls to stand by it.
Seriously? You removed my comments? Do I get under your skin so much? That’s FLATTERING.
PED usage + Manny’s fighting skills = Dramatic downfall around the corner.
If this is the same guy who recently fought casamayor, then he has NO CHAnce!!!
I really hope Bradley turns up to fight and not to just get a pay day like Mosley. Bradley can win this fight if he boxes on the outside and counter. There is no way he can win if he fights on the inside with Pacquiao he is too fast and will hit to hard for Tim. I want to Tim to win come on DESERT ;D
Ha3. This should be easy match for pacman. Floyd vs cotto that going to be epic fight.
is arum cashing in on pacman based on the result of this fight
If I was pacquiao I’d retire before its too late.
and Chris Williams is retarded.hahaha! Just kidding Chris.
school in session for Anonymouse again. I’m his teacher and zdrx is his mommy and Hears The Thing is his daddy.hahahaha!

Did i even mention Floyd in this article ?….Or is it all you think about is Floyd and D I C KS ?.hahahaha!
i THINK INSTEAD OF TALKING HE’LL BEAT pACMAN, Bradley should train ten times his usual training to win in this fight…. Pacman may have looked old in his last fight, or maybe it was just Marquez is really better than him in spite being much older…. still I don’t think 5hat Bradley has that skill and power to match with Pacman. but if he trains hard, very very hard, he might stand a chance.

Peds make your head size big . FACT!
@zdrx It could also be blame on Pacquiao since he has grown his head size this past 2 years almost like a watermelon. lol
When chris speaks, everyone vomits.
