Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight 2014 Update: Adrien Broner Says He Would Fight Pacquiao [Video]
Adrien Broner said that he is willing to square off with Manny Pacquiao at any weight if the former pound-for-pound king wants to fight him in the near future.
In a recent interview with Boxing Socialist, Broner was asked about his thoughts on the rematch between Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley wherein the Filipino boxing icon cruised to a convincing unanimous decision win.
"Good fight. I want to give a shout-out to Timothy Bradley," Broner said. "I think he's underrated as a boxer. He's done some great things for the sport. He's a great guy, he's got a great spirit. I don't think he gets all of the credit that he's supposed to."
The 24-year-old former welterweight champion then offered praises to Pacquiao, and quickly added that he is more than willing to trade blows with the reigning WBO welterweight champion at any catch weight.
"I want to give a shout-out to Pacquiao. And who knows? S**t, I ain't scared to fight that m**********r. S**t, tell him to come on. I'll fight him. I don't care where we fight if I fight Pacquiao. S**t, we can fight at 115 if I can make it," Broner said.
Broner's willingness to face Pacquiao might not be enough to finalize a showdown, though, as he is under Al Haymon and Golden Boy Promotions, while the 35-year-old Filipino is with Top Rank -- the same reason why the long-proposed Pacquiao vs Mayweather super fight is still a long shot at this point.
Broner will return to the ring against Carlos Molina on the undercard of the upcoming showdown between Mayweather and Marcos Maidana on May 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The Cincinnati, Ohio native is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Maidana in their WBA welterweight title fight in December last year wherein he was knocked down in rounds two and eight.
Broner admitted that he was badly outhustled by Maidana in that fight, but he vowed not to commit the same mistake again on May 3. The three-division champion said that he is focused in his upcoming fight, and he is aiming to get a title shot soon to make history.
"I will be trying to make history. I don't know if it's been done before. I'll have to check, a four time world champion in four weight classes at 24. I'm trying to do that," Broner told BoxingScene.
