Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Sees Rios As Perfect Pacquiao Opponent

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios share the same manager.

Cameron Dunkin represents both boxers, but Bradley still doesn’t share Rios’ optimism regarding Rios’ chances Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao. The WBO welterweight champion predicted Pacquiao will knock out Rios in the eighth round of their 12-round welterweight fight in Macau, China (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT; HBO Pay-Per-View; $64.95 in HD).

Bradley “absolutely” expects Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) to return to his championship form following scary one-punch, sixth-round knockout loss to Mexican nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez last Dec. 8 in Las Vegas. Bradley pointed to his own comeback performance against Marquez last month as proof Pacquiao can overcome that devastating defeat.

The Gift Champ

Bradley is full of crap. He was beaten by Pac and Ruslan. He has been the receiver of gifts. Fake Champ. He is right about one thing-Rios is tailor made for Pac. Those that think he is damaged goods are not long time fans of the sport. Duran was wiped out by Hearns but went on to take titles in higher weight classes. Lennox Lewis brutally KOd twice. I could go on and on but ignorance is bliss.

Only Margarito would be more perfect of a fight for manny. Tim is right.

.....'Bradley, who "beat" Pacquiao'...I see what you did there Mr. Idec!...hee hee...

Rios is way easier than Margarito was. I doubt Rios can take the punishment Margarito did, and he isn't as good in general.

BRADLEY comes from a brutal fight but MANNY comes from many wars...,TIM stop comparing your fights to the fighter of the decade!!!

Yea Bradley knows what he's talkin about for sure only to the fact that he lost to pacquiao already but all things considered pacquiao should go right through rios Bradley said it right rios comes straight ahead with little defense rios better be able to survive a nuclear strike cause that's what he got comin to him.

hey bradley. just because you beat pacquiao does'nt mean pacquiao is going to beat rios.

Plus Margarito had a giant size advantage. Rios is a lot closer to Manny's size.
