Timothy Bradley Doubts That The Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight Will Happen
The biggest fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is still being talked about following the Filipino's victory over previously undefeated Chris Algieri. Everybody, from boxers to boxing analysts, have all voiced their thoughts on the potential super fight between two of the greatest fighters of the current generation. Recently, Timothy Bradley has also spoken about the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. He shared his thoughts on who is likely to win, but seriously doubts that the super fight will really happen.
"That fight ain't gonna ever happen," Bradley told Fight Hype. "I honestly don't think that fight's going to happen."
According to Bradley, he is aware that negotiations for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight are currently underway. However, he feels that the fight should have happened years ago.
The era where the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao would have been the biggest has been long gone, but still it still would be a huge event for the boxing fans all over the world. The 31-year-old Palm Springs native said that if the fight indeed takes place, it is going to be an "even" one. He said that Mayweather can win it and so does Pacquiao. Bradley said it will be an exciting fight and will be a great affair not only for the fans but also for the sport of boxing altogether.
Years ago, he thought that Mayweather has the edge over Pacquiao, but seeing the Filipino's recent performance and being able to fight him in the ring, Bradley is convinced that Pacquiao will bring fight to the undefeated boxer.
Bradley admitted that he is definitely going to be a fan of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. He is more than willing to pay large sums of money to sit ringside on the night of the fight.
On Dec. 13, Bradley will return to ring to face Argentine Diego Chaves at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. It will be Bradley's first fight since losing to Pacquiao in April 2014. He is currently working on his last training preparations for the fight at his California gym, according to an article by Rappler.
Bradley's boxing record is 31-1. Chaves, on the other hand, is 23-2. Chaves suffered defeats from Keith Thurman in July 2012 and Brandon Rios in August 2014.
