LAS VEGAS — Timothy Bradley was preparing for his second fight with Manny Pacquiao. He'd just come off a masterpiece of a victory over Juan Manuel Marquez and was going to face Pacquiao for a second time April 14, 2014, in Las Vegas. Bradley 'won' the first fight against Pacquiao in 2012, but at times it didn't feel much like a win to him.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 19: Undefeated WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford shadowboxes during a media workout at UFC APEX on July 19, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Crawford is scheduled to fight WBC/WBA and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. at T-Mobile Arena on July 29, 2023, in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS — Timothy Bradley was preparing for his second fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Bradley chuckled when he was asked about Crawford fighting on the road with just about every person in the arena, and country, vehemently rooting against him. He'll meet unified champion Errol Spence Jr. in the main event of a Showtime PPV card for the undisputed titleSugar Ray Robinson is most known as a welterweight, and he's widely considered the greatest fighter of all time. Other luminaries in the division were Henry Armstrong, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilán, Pernell Whitaker, Jose Napoles, Thomas Hearns, Emile Griffith, Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.
Crawford was a lightweight to begin his career, but won the lightweight belt and moved up to become undisputed super lightweight champion. After unifying the 140-pound belts, he climbed to welterweight, where he's gone 7-0 with seven KOs. But he wasn't able to get one of the superstar welterweights in the ring with him until now. Guys like Pacquiao, Keith Thurman, Miguel Cotto and Danny Garcia went in another direction.
