Timothy Bradley has a big fight coming up on April 12 vs. Manny Pacquiao, but a confident "Desert Storm" may have another name on his mind already--Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao training camp most intense ever?
"Mayweather is his own boss," Bradley said. "If he wants to come see me, he can come see me. It's how bad does Mayweather want to fight me." While Bradley should probably focus on Pacman, seeing as how his previous win over Pacquiao was highly disputed by fans and experts alike, it's not crazy for him to have Floyd on the brain.
After upsetting Pacquiao, winning a slugfest with Ruslan Provodnikov, and taking care of Juan Manuel Marquez, Bradley has assumed the No. 3 spot in boxing's pound-for-pound rankings. Still, a Mayweather fight is extremely unlikely because of his contract with HBO-Mayweather signed a record deal with Showtime in 2012.
Should Bradley beat Pacman for a second time, he can expect the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Mike Alvarado, where both fighters will be battling to extend their viability as main event fighters.
Meanwhile, Floyd will probably have his hands full on May 3 with Marcos Maidana, a man "Money" isn't taking lightly. "You can't take any fighter for granted, anything can happen," Mayweather said. "... This guy is tailor-made to make a war."
Marcos Maidana respects Broner's power more than Floyd's?
Regardless of Maidana's power, Mayweather is a heavy favorite to leave the MGM Grand May 3 as a winner. Looking ahead for Floyd, there may not be any interesting options going forward in the Showtime stable unless he makes a substantial leap in weight.
Should Floyd dominate Maidana, fans will once again clamor for him to either fight Pacquiao (if he can beat Bradley), or Desert Storm, who will face a similar drought of quality opponents if he wins against Manny a second time.
