Manny Pacquiao: Why Pac-Man Will Give Timothy Bradley His First Defeat

Manny Pacquiao will be the best fighter Timothy Bradley has faced by a mile in his career, and PacMan will certainly deliver Bradley the first loss of his career when the two men fight in just a few weeks.

Bradley is currently 28-0 but hasn't faced too many fighters that would be considered elite. The American's most recent opponent was Joel Casamayor of Cuba, who is a 40-year-old veteran.

There was no way that at his age, Casamayor was going to be able to withstand a full 12 rounds against Bradley, who won the fight by TKO in the eighth round.

Pacquiao is an experienced veteran but has beaten some really talented boxers recently, including many fighters far superior to Bradley and the opponents Bradley has faced.

In his last five bouts, PacMan has victories against top fighters such as Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Bradley hasn't faced that kind of competition in his career, and has never gone up against an opponent that draws as much attention to a particular fight as Pacquiao does.

This lack of experience will be an issue for Bradley in this fight because he won't handle the pressure of boxing under the bright lights against an opponent who many consider one of the greatest of all time.

Don't expect this fight to last long because Pacquiao is a far better boxer than Bradley and will get him to succumb to the pressure of fighting in a marquee bout with the world watching.
