Bradley doesn’t care what he has to walk through to get the victory over Manny, he’s ready to do it.

Bradley said this during tonight’s Face off with Max Kellerman: “28 have tried and 28 have failed. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter, but he can’t break me…I have to win this fight. I’m not going to take no for an answer. I’m here to win. I’m not going to lay down for a paycheck. So, if I have to fight toe-to-toe with Manny Pacquiao, so be it.”

Usually trainers aren’t part of the Face Offs, but Freddie Roach was invited and he chimed in with his own two cents about the fight, saying “Breaking down the wall won’t be easy because Timmy is young and strong, but we [Pacquiao] will break down that wall and get him out in the later rounds. Anyone can be broken.”

When Kellerman asked Bradley if he can be broken, he said “No.”

Roach then fired back “We’ll see.”

Bradley came back with “We’re definitely going to see.”

Something about the look in Bradley’s eyes told me that the guy means business and he’s ready to take Pacquiao’s World Boxing Organization title next month and expose him again like Juan Manuel Marquez just finished doing last November, except Bradley says “I’ve got to hurt him.” He’s right.

Bradley can’t just dominate Pacquiao appear to win by a lopsided decision, because I still can’t see the judges giving Bradley the win. If they didn’t give Marquez the win in his three fights with Pacquiao, then I don’t see Bradley being given the decision. He’s going to have to hurt Manny badly, and put on the canvas a couple of times to walk away with the win.
