Tim Bradley has revealed his prediction for Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Manny Pacquiao 2, giving one man no chance of beating the other.
Their Netflix event was officially announced on Monday, with the two pound-for-pound legends gearing up for a professional rematch at the Sphere, Las Vegas, on September 19.
Mayweather emerged from their first encounter, back in 2015, with a unanimous decision victory, before successfully defending his world welterweight title against Andre Berto later that year.
‘Money’ then ended his illustrious professional career in 2017, engineering a 10th-round finish over Conor McGregor, and has since been involved in a number of exhibition matches.
But now, the 49-year-old is returning to a professional ring, after it was also reported he is set for an exhibition with a 59-year-old Mike Tyson on April 25.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, has fought as recently as July, back when he boxed to a highly-contentious draw against then-WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios.
Before that, the eight-division world champion had lost a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas in 2021, which followed his points victory against Keith Thurman over two years earlier.
But despite the 47-year-old boasting a greater number of professional rounds than Mayweather, especially in recent years, Hall of Famer Bradley is nonetheless predicting a repeat of their first fight.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Bradley admitted their rematch, much like their first encounter, has arrived far too late, but believes that Mayweather should once again have his hand raised.
“It’s too late. Will I be watching it? Yeah. I think the world going to be watching it, too. I think everybody going to be watching it.
“However, Manny Pacquiao can’t beat no damn Mayweather, man. Sorry to tell y’all; he can’t beat no Mayweather.”
Given the convincing nature of his first performance against Pacquiao, many others will likely be picking Mayweather to get the job done in their rematch.
