By John F. McKenna (McJack): There is no question that World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0-1 NC, 12 KO’s) is a very good fighter and that he has been tested against some well accomplished boxers. In those contests he has shown that he is a legitimate champion and a worthy challenger for Filipino icon WBC welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s). Most notable of Bradley’s victories was his one sided unanimous decision win over new IBF/WBA champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s), the same Peterson who dethroned previous IBF/WBA champion Amir Khan last December.

Bradley v Pacquiao is a great fight
By Marcus Sales: Before I get into this article, I want to make it clear I am neither an anti Floyd Mayweather Jr. or an anti Manny Pacquiao writer. I admire both greatly.
