By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum made sure that a rematch clause was included with his fighter Pacquiao’s contract for his June 9th fight against light welterweight Timothy Bradley just in case the judges don’t give the Filipino star the decision like they did in his last fight against Mexican warrior Juan Manuel Marquez last November.
Pacquiao vs. Bradley
Arum risking blowing big money fight by matching Pacquiao against Bradley
By Chris Williams: We’ve seen Bob Arum blow it in the past by not making a fight that needed to be made with Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Juan Manuel Lopez until it was too late, and now we could be seeing that happening again with Arum not making the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight.
Who stole Manny Pacquiao’s cheese?
By Vann Dunn: Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has moved on to fight WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto on May 5th rather than Manny Pacquiao, the prevailing view among Manny’s fan is that Floyd did not agree to fight Pacquiao because he was “scared.”
Bradley a real threat to Pacquiao
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0-1 NC, 12 KO’s) may be more of a challenge than Team Pacquiao originally thought him to be. “Desert Storm” has a reputation for being a very tough fighter and has exhibited that numerous times against quality opponents. Bradley holds convincing wins over new WBA/IBF light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KO’s) and Devon Alexander (23-1, 13 KO’s).
Bradley: I’m going to hurt Pacquiao; this isn’t his brother-in-law he’s fighting
By Chris Williams: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s) isn’t coming into his June 9th fight against Manny Pacquiao to mess around and touch gloves with him all night long in a glorified sparring session like the one Pacquiao had with the over-the-hill 40-year-old Shane Mosley. That fight was a laughable disgrace, and even worse than Pacquiao’s 12 round sparring session against Joshua Clottey in 2010.

By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao says he wants to face unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in November before he retires – or gets beaten – from the sport.

Pacquiao has advantage in power says Bradley
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In a surprisingly candid admission undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0-1 NC, 12 KO’s) has acknowledged that Filipino icon WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) has a decided edge in power.

Bradley: It’s time for a new face; I’m going to beat Pacquiao
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.
