Picking a victor in Pacquiao vs Bradley III is no easy task. Manny Pacquiao, comfortably on his way to the Hall of Fame, will soon be supposedly bowing out of the sport to pursue political ambitions. Meanwhile Timothy Bradley will be looking to prove that his 2012 win over Pacquiao – a controversial victory that still haunts Bradley – wasn’t the result of dubious scorecards.
Does Pacquiao still possess the hunger to cap off his legendary career with a victory over one of today’s best Welterweights? And will Bradley’s iron will be enough to finally shake off his lingering critics? It’s time for another Extended Tale of the Tape, Facts & Stats episode!
