Just as I predicted the very day Top Rank signed Tim Bradley many months ago, the fight with Pacquiao is done. This one was an easy one to call. Anyone with two cents worth of IQ and a set of eyes could see that when Top Rank brought in Bradley, he would be another Top Rank guy, the next one to feed Manny Pacquiao.
The bad news is, as predicted, Mayweather Pacquiao isn't happening. The good news is, Tim Bradley actually matches up pretty good Vs. Pacquiao. Does this mean that Bradley will win? Not probable, but it is possible I suppose.
Bradley is young and he is fast. He puts his head down and fights hard for every round. He's a champion, and he is in his prime. This will more than likely not be a cake walk for Manny, but it is a fight that he should win.

I like Bradley's character. He like Pacquiao is a humble guy, and he's a hard worker. Bradley stays out of trouble, and the best part? He has served his country. He's a US Veteran who served in Iraq, which instantly earns him points in my book.
I like the Pacquiao Vs. Bradley fight more than a Pacman Vs. Marquez four or a Pacman Vs. Cotto two. Bradley brings speed, power, youth, and he's in his prime. I like that Pacquiao agreed to fight Bradley, he in my opinion other than Mayweather is the toughest opponent left for him. Sergio Martinez' name comes up instantly, but that would be at a dangerous weight.
Pacman Vs. Bradley may turn out to be a real barn burner. This fight may even be more exciting than a Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao fight.
I want to dedicate this article to my friend Pepper Roach, who is currently recovering from a stroke. Keep your head up Pep, and as your brother Freddie always says, ''Keep Punchin.''
