Bradley: Mayweather-Pacquiao is The Fight Needed

By Edward Chaykovsky

Former two division champion Timothy Bradley would love to see a welterweight unification between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. There are different scenarios being discussed for both fighters in 2015 - including Mayweather facing Amir Khan and Pacquiao moving down to 140-pounds - but Bradley says Mayweather-Pacquiao is still very much the fight to make.

For years, promoters have been unable to make that fight happen and Bradley is still not confident that everyone involved will be able to come together to reach an agreement.

"I think that’s a fight that should happen but we don’t know if it ever will happen. I’m unsure right now, it hasn’t happened in that last three or four years. If that fight was to materialize and Floyd was to win that fight, I think fans would definitely be a lot more pleased with what’s going on," Bradley told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"Floyd at this point — being the best — it’s really hard to please the fans, it really is because of his style of fighting. If he was a little bit more aggressive and took more shots, then the fans would probably be a little bit more into it. Still with his style or not, this guy sells an extreme amount of pay-per-views, he’s still the number one guy in boxing. He has his remedy and it’s working for him. Me as a fan of boxing, I know that I would love to see him and Manny Pacquiao fight, I would love see those guys fight."
