Junior Welterweight Champion - Timothy Bradley

Since the much awaited fight of Pacquaio-Mayweather has not pushed through again. A lot of boxing fans were disappointed that the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout has failed its negotiations, as both sides said to disagree with the purse.  Mayweather announced last month that he will be fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5, moving up to junior middleweight.  This issue is not new to the fans ears, but they still are anticipating that the match of the two top pound-for-pound kings to happen.  

Timothy Bradley is one of the few top listed boxers to face Pacquiao.  Though Manny Pacquiao has not yet signed the paperworks, his legal adviser, Michael Koncz told ESPN.com that he had committed to the pay-per-view fight.

Bradley will fight Pacquiao at the 147-pound division (no catch weight).  Bradley, 28 in his prime has an unblemished record of 28 wins, no lose with 12 wins via knockout, can give a good match against the Filipino boxing champion.  The other opponents Top Rank has discussed were a possible Pacquiao-Marquez fourth bout and Pacquiao-Cotto rematch.

Top Rank president Todd duBoef said, "I think Timmy is an incredibly skilled fighter. He has quick hands, quick feet, he's undefeated and he doesn't know how to lose. Tim Bradley is a winner. Manny will have to be on top of his game against Tim Bradley, who is in his prime. Manny has always taken on those challenges."  duBoef added, "In Timmy Bradley, you're dealing with an accomplished fighter. He's a premier fighter in the 140-pound division and he's on everyone's pound-for-pound list in the top 5 to 10. He had a destruction of Peterson (in a one-sided decision in December 2009). He played with Peterson, who just beat Khan, and I was on the other end in that fight because I was Peterson's promoter. Bottom line, Timmy Bradley is a terrific fighter."
