Revising Tim Bradley's reason for refusing PAC's invitation to be his....

[1 on 1]

Well, Tim is younger and Pacquiao has allot more exposure than Tim has had. It's an advantage for Tim to NOT spar with Pacquiao.

How else is someone suppose to get better ? There's an old saying in boxing and still holds true today, "You're only as good as your sparring partner"

Tim, you don't have to worry about Pac fighting you. You're too young, too slick, too live, and too black.(Afro American)

And PAC is too fast, too furious. No wonder slick black-americans don't want any part of him, not even in sparring, haha.

i don't get it...that seems like a very legitimate reason...

Pacquiao is a punching machine. You will not learn to be a better boxer from sparring him. Forbes might be a better sparring than Pacquiao. The thing with Pacquiao is that he has extra gears many others don't have. In sparring, Pacquiao isn't the one who's gonna show you new moves. He probably can't explain his own moves very well.

And as an African-American, Bradley doesn't want to give a brawler, the boxer's natural enemy lol, anything he doesn't have to. :P

Many world-class fighters that have had the great opportunity to spar with PAC will tell you the opposite. In fact, Forbes mentioned it recently. He said that, people see the flurry of punches but, once he got in the ring with PAC, he has a newfound respect for his boxing skills
