Timothy Bradley believes that Manny Pacquiao will be able to decently handle matters on the ring opposite Floyd Mayweather, but opines that "Money" will have the edge, should the two finally meet.

Despite receiving beating after beating in both of his past encounters with the "Pacman," "Desert Storm" still had the audacity to use himself as a point of reference to predict the possible outcome of the highly anticipated match-up.

"I think he does well, I honestly think it goes well. I think that the fight is a little more even now," Bradley told ontheropesboxing.com.

"I'm gonna have to favor Floyd Mayweather because he's just brilliant in his boxing ability but you can't take anything away from Manny Pacquiao."

"I'm a really difficult fighter to deal with and Manny Pacquiao was able to deal with me, and if Manny Pacquiao is able to deal with me, he's able to deal with anybody else, I truly believe that."

"I have a lot of hand speed, foot speed as well, Floyd has hand speed and foot speed as well. He's a better defensive fighter than I am but Manny Pacquiao throws punches in combinations, punches in bunches, so I think the fight is kind of evenly matched."

Meanwhile, "Money" revealed that the superfight could happen in May 2015, as he keeps his doors open to such possibility.

"We don't know what the future holds, as of right now. Anything is possible," he told the Daily Mail.

As always, the 37-year-old undefeated fighter cited several conditions in his favour as a prerequisite to the blockbuster showdown.

"If the fight (sic) do happen, it has to happen on Showtime, pay-per-view only and Mayweather promotions have to do the fight," he added.

"Absolutely, it's a possibility. We really can't say what the future holds, but as of right now we're gonna go home, take a break...and then see who's next in May."

"Hopefully, it's Manny Pacquiao."
