Pacquiao vs. Bradley Predictions: Pac-Man Will Cruise to Dominant Victory

Timothy Bradley is young, fast and undefeated, but he's got no shot against the legendary Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley's 28-0 record (with one no contest) is certainly impressive, but if you combined the talents of every fighter he's faced, it still wouldn't equal the pure boxing skill that resides in the mind and body of Pacquiao.

Although Floyd Mayweather may disagree, Pacquiao is the greatest fighter of this era.

He's been named The Ring magazine fighter of the year three times (2006, 2008, 2009), and the Boxing Writers Association of America called him the Fighter of the Decade. These are the kind of accolades you win after demolishing 15 elite opponents in a row and become the first fighter in history to win world championships in eight different weight classes.

Although he's not as quick as he used to be, the 33-year-old Pacquiao is still a blur in the ring. He is unbelievably fast with every strike he throws, and although Bradley prides himself on his hand speed, he will be the slower man in the ring this Saturday.

He is also at a severe disadvantage in power.

Pacquiao has knocked out more opponents than Bradley has faced, using his deadly strength and unrelenting aggression to overwhelm fighters. He is constantly in attack mode, and I expect him to show no mercy to his young opponent.

Bradley will stay close on the score cards, but after absorbing blow after blow to the face, I doubt he will last the full 12 rounds.

I'm taking Pacquiao by ninth round TKO.
