Tim Bradley Boxer Profile

Boxing is one of the oldest betting online niches, as it has been around literally forever. Throughout the generations, boxing has been heavily criticized because of too many fighters either not willing to lose, or not facing good competition. On June 9, 2012 Tim Bradley, one of the best fighters in the world, has an opportunity to face and defeat the legendary Manny Pacquiao. If Bradley can find a way to defeat Pacquiao, he will be able to show the sports betting boxing critics that the sport is alive and well.

Tim Bradley was born on August 29, 1983 and at 28 years old is in the prime of his career. Through his 29 career fights, Bradley is 28 – 0 – one, with 12 knockouts and one no decision. Bradley is the current WBO Light Welterweight Champion, and a former WBC Light Welterweight Champion. Going into his upcoming fight with Manny Pacquiao, Bradley’s most reputable opponents are Lamont Peterson, Devon Alexander and Joel Casamayor.

Of the three fighters, Peterson and Alexander are the two names that casual fans would know for separate reasons. On the one hand, Lamont Peterson is coming up amongst mainstream media, because he tested positive for steroids during drug testing for his fight with Pacquiao team member Amir Khan. On the other hand, Devon Alexander and Tim Bradley found themselves matched up in January of 2011, with the fight billed as the biggest fight between two prospects. However, the fight was less then stellar and basically defined both fighters as boring. Alexander has won in controversial fashion against a couple of Argentinian fighters, while Bradley has become known for his head butting approach to boxing. With Manny Pacquiao up next, Bradley has a second chance to redefine his reputation, as the man to defeat Pacquiao and perhaps move on to Floyd Mayweather in an NBA title fight.

Boxing Profile Floyd Mayweather

Bodog handicappers looking to wager upon combat sports need only wait another week, before the biggest boxing event of the year. Live on May 5, 2012 the most popular fighter in the world, Floyd Mayweather takes on the world’s biggest underdog Miguel Cotto. Over the past couple of years, it seems as though you can’t write an article on Floyd Mayweather without mentioning his rivalry with Manny Pacquiao. Today, we will look at why Floyd Mayweather will always have the best odds as the greatest boxer on the planet.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the only boxers ever with an undefeated record. Currently sitting at 42 wins with 26 knockouts and 16 decisions, the 33-year old Mayweather has fought almost everyone. Save for his fight with Oscar De La Hoya from 2007 to win the Light Middleweight Title, Mayweather has always put together convincing beat downs in his 42 career fights. Simply put, Mayweather has decimated all of his opponents, none of which have been considered past their prime or a ‘bum’ that nobody has ever heard of. For this reason, Mayweather is often credited as the NBA best fighter on the planet.

Entering his fight with Miguel Cotto, Mayweather faces his toughest competition yet, as Cotto is one of the toughest power punchers on the planet. Cotto owns a record of 37 and two, with 30 of his 37 wins coming by knockout. Entering the fight, Cotto is basically taking on Mayweather for a couple of reasons, as he wants to prove he is the best fighter on the planet, and because Cotto lost to Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Mayweather have side stepped each other for years, by taking on each other’s past opponents. For Mayweather, his goal isn’t only to take Cotto’s title, but to knock him out quicker then Pacquiao did.

Manny Pacquiao Greatest Boxer Ever

With the Big Four major sports leagues either winding down or just starting up, Bodog handicappers are looking for a sport to focus their attention on, to turn a profit. One sport that has recently made a resurgence, is boxing, as fighters such as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have entered the mainstream media. Pacquiao in particular, is considered one of the best boxers in the world, as he has fought in eight different weight classes, while also becoming a politician in his home country the Philippines. Today we will look at why Manny Pacquiao has the best odds in all of boxing.

Manny Pacquiao was born in Kibawe, Philippines on December 17, 1978. Pacquiao is the only boxer ever to fight in eight different weight classes, and find success at six of them, as he is a six-time champion. Pacquiao was recently named fighter of the decade for the 2000s, after collecting fighter of the year awards in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Throughout his illustrious career, Pacquiao has never shied away from the competition, as he has fought some of the toughest fighters in the world. However, with that being said, Pacquiao still has yet to face his toughest MLB competition in Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the two fighters have avoided each other over the last three years.

For this latter reason, many people believe that boxing should adopt one governing body, rather then have three or four different promotional companies. The reason for this suggestion, is because the Mayweather Jr. v Pacquiao fight, has been talked about but has never come to fruition, since neither fighter’s promotion team wants to split the profits. As a result, Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. will continue to fight other competitors, they know that they will never be defeated by.
