Pacquiao has himself called out Davis<\/p>\n
There were similar concerns around Pacquiao’s power before he faced his 30-year-old opponent Mario Barrios, but his valiant performance seemed to prove them irrelevant.<\/p>\n
The Filipino superstar’s bout with Barrios ended in a draw, although many thought the 46-year-old was unfortunate to not earn victory.<\/a><\/p>\n Following his comeback draw, he has made it very clear that he intends to continue fighting now.<\/p>\n And he previously named a fight with Davis as being on his dream hit-list before retiring once again.<\/p>\n When speaking to Fight Hub TV<\/a>, Bradley explained why he thinks Pacquiao has the edge over ‘Tank’.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI know all y\u2019all Tank fans are gonna come at me, \u2018oh you don\u2019t know\u2019 \u2013 I\u2019m telling you. <\/p>\n “And if he gets in that ring and he ain\u2019t all the way focused, bro, he gonna get beat by Manny Pacquiao<\/a>. <\/p>\n “If they\u2019re gonna do it he\u2019s gonna get beat by Manny Pacquiao if he ain\u2019t all the way focused in the ring, seriously.”<\/p>\n Bradley criticised Davis, who currently holds the WBA lightweight belt, for not having the ability to exhibit the focus that Pacquiao brings to the ring. <\/p>\n He explained: \u201cThat\u2019s my take on, Tank, man. I think he\u2019s done. It\u2019s the issues outside the ring. It\u2019s the fact that he wants to change. He has a lot of things on his mind that he wants to do and he\u2019s kind of sick of the sport of boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Davis was set to rematch Roach, but the bout is now in doubtCredit: GETTY<\/p>\n Davis was believed to be heading towards a rematch with Lamont Roach Jr, after their controversial bout in March<\/a> where ‘Tank’ failed to secure victory for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n But the bout is now in doubt, given August is fast approaching and no date has yet been officially confirmed.<\/p>\n Although the opportunity to fight Pacquiao may result in a new course of action for Davis. <\/p>\n Who will Manny Pacquiao be fighting next?<\/p>\n With talks of a rematch with Barrios growing more unlikely, his advisor, Sean Gibbons, named two opponents that he’d rather see his man fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gibbons told BoxingScene: \u201cI don\u2019t see why Barrios again. There\u2019s [Rolando] Romero, \u2018Tank\u2019 Davis. Why do it again?”<\/p>\n Romero was believed to be the frontrunner of opponents<\/a> for Pacquiao, but Ring Magazine<\/a> recently reported that Ryan Garcia<\/a> and Romero are closing in on an agreement for a sequel.<\/p>\n While nothing has been confirmed yet, other names that have been thrown into the mix for Pacquiao’s next bout are Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gervonta Davis has been given little chance of beating Manny Pacquiao despite their vast age gap.
