\"\"<\/a>Exclusive Interview by Marc Anthony<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI bring a lot to the table in this fight. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. Look at his resume; he has fought some great fighters. But he hasn\u2019t fought a young guy in a very long time.\u201d \u2013 Timothy Bradley<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On January 2, 2011, RSR asked Timothy Bradley, 28-0-0, 12 KO\u2019, what conversation is most heard at the Timothy Bradley camp? His response was: \u201cWhen I am going to fight Manny Pacquiao.\u201d<\/p>\n

On June 9th, he gets that chance. This fight will certainly help Timothy move another step further with his plans of not only dethroning the Pound for Pound king but also breaking into mainstream. HBO is going big. They are set to tape their award winning 24\/7 series and the world will get to see both champions\u2019 lives. So far Timothy has been able to predict his plans to perfection. Will this be another Nostradamus prediction of victory for Tim?<\/p>\n

Timothy discusses what it takes to be a World Champion and what it will take to defeat Manny Pacquiao\u2026<\/p>\n

MA: In the past, Manny has been stopped by body shots. Your best punch is the body shot. Is this a good match for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely, I bring a lot to the table in this fight. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. Look at his resume; he has fought some great fighters, but he hasn\u2019t fought a young guy in a very long time. We are going to see if I am the next big thing in boxing and if I am going be able to deal with Manny\u2019s power while I apply my strengths during the fight. This will make a very interesting fight. Stylistically, we match up pretty well. He is very explosive and I am as well. I like to attack, he likes to attack. He fights in angles and I do too, so it\u2019s going to be an interesting matchup. I am looking forward to it and to see if I can impose my will on Manny Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

MA: Do you feel Manny has fought someone like you\u2026somebody as fast in the ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not like me. I don\u2019t think he has fought anybody like me in a long while. People thought Shane Mosley was going give him a run for his money. Shane Mosley can only do so much. I definitely, bring a lot to the table: my speed, my power and movement. I am a smart fighter as well. I think that is going make for a really interesting fight.<\/p>\n

MA: You have played a spoiler for quite a few undefeated fighters. Which fight has prepared you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no fighter in boxing like Manny Pacquiao. Let\u2019s be honest with ourselves. Manny Pacquiao brings a unique style. That is why he has been able to dominate the game for so long; it\u2019s his style, his speed and his power. Dealing with a lefty is hard in itself, but now you have a lefty with speed and power, foot speed and good defense. That is hard to deal with it.<\/p>\n

There is really no fight that stylistically could prepare me for Manny Pacquiao but I would definitely say that traveling to England and facing Junior Witter in his home soil and being an underdog\u2026I think that definitely would prepare me mentally for this fight. I have that type of feeling in my gut how it\u2019s going be that night. I know it\u2019s going be exactly how it\u2019s going be in England. I am prepared for that, I have already experienced being the underdog and being in a mega fight. If I can win in England, I can win here too.<\/p>\n

MA: Devon will be facing Marcos Maidana on Saturday. How do you see that fight going down?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I favor Devon Alexander in this fight because he is the boxer. He does have a bit of problems with guys who apply pressure to him but I think his last fight with Matthysse\u2026he dug down deep and pulled out a victory. But Matthysse is a little bit more technically sound than Maidana. I think Maidana kind of rushes in and leaves himself open a lot. I think a smarter fighter like Devon Alexander is going be able to capitalize on a lot of mistakes; he will get out of range and polish him up a little bit. He will use his range and jab to keep Maidana honest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MA: There are thousands of thousands of boxers in the world. Some are great inside the gym but don\u2019t perform well under the lights. What makes the difference from a great gym fighter to a great live fighter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think honestly it all boils down to mental preparation. Hard work, dedication and the mental preparation is what makes champions. There a lot of guys out there that are talented but mentally they are not strong. Maybe they have distractions here and there. Maybe they don\u2019t believe in themselves as much as they should. But mentally, when they get in a fight, they do well in the gym but then when they fight live its completely different for them. I think it has to do with that mental toughness. That mental toughness in a fight, when it gets tough in there you need to start digging deep and but they fade away and don\u2019t step up when they have to. Having heart, determination, skills and willing to work I think that\u2019s what builds champions\u2026being smart.<\/p>\n
