April is just two months away but the next opponent of the fighting senator Manny Pacquiao has not been named yet.vThere are lots of speculations on who will have a shot in the ring against the 41-year old living legend.
But for Timothy Bradley, he would like to see the only eight-division world champion to square off against the rugged Shawn Porter.
\”I would love to see him fight Shawn Porter,\” said Bradley in an exclusive interview.
However, Porter was defeated by Errol Spence Jr. who was supposed to fight Pacquiao before suffering a setback in a solo car crash accident.
The accident was somehow a blessing in disguise for Porter as he can still be the next possible opponent for Pacquiao.
\”That\’s a collision. That\’s fight. You know Shawn Porter ain\’t running,\” Bradley added.

\”So he ain\’t gonna be looking for him. He\’s gonna be right there on the grill and it\’s gonna be a war.\”
Porter likes to go to head-on making him a suitable opponent for the attacking WBA Super Welterweight champion.

However, it is Danny Garcia who remains in the front lead for Pacquaio before the Filipino icon signed with the Paradigm Sports Management that also handles UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
The move made by Pacquiao hints the possible second cross-fight of McGregor.
\”It could happen,\” said Bradley.
\”Manny Pacquiao is still a good name, great name in boxing. McGregor is a huge, huge name in MMA and world-known. So yeah, fight could happen.\”
McGregor first fought Floyd Mayweather on his first professional boxing career. He was knocked out but the fight generated millions for both athletes.

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.
