Tim Bradley is already making one huge mistake he can't afford to make when facing and mega-star boxing champion like Manny Pacquiao. Counting backwards, I would like to point out these five mistakes that he cannot make.

Number five. The one he is making right now, 'getting to caught up into the moment of the event.' He has been the head of the promotion. Pacquiao has taken a back seat to Tim Bradley and let him steer the ship. Surprising from someone…

The way the opening presser for the Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto fight started in Puerto Rico, you would thought Cotto was the favorite. Mayweather seemed rather, like it was another day at the office, while Cotto looked as if he could fight right then and there. Maybe Mayweather is already playing mind games with Cotto giving him a false sense of security. Making him believe he is not taking the fight serious and getting Cotto hopes up, but you could…

A few weeks ago Alex Ariza and Freddie Roach were making statements that Tim Bradley wasn't that talented and that Manny might have trouble getting motivated to fight him. _Pacquiao made that clear yesterday to the press that Bradley is a undefeated champion and he will…

David Haye has moved up the ranks in the heavyweight division, and he's retired. After his one round knockout of Team Chisora, he has turned the division upside down. If only that could have been in a legal match in the ring, we could have something great to write about, not this thuggery. Wladimir Klitschko found Haye in the summer of 2011 in what was suppose to be the fight of the decade as far as heavyweight, turned out to be a dud, not because of…

In sports history we have seen our great athletes obtain riches beyond our dreams and then somehow seem to lose it all and we all say the same thing. 'That wouldn't happen to me', until it happens to you. Boxing is the one sport in which there is no union to watch and monitor the actions of promoters. Bernard Hopkins learned early in his career to watch his money and how to protect it.

In an interview with Jemele Hill, Hopkins…

 Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to reduced domestic violence battery and harassment charges before a Las Vegas judge. He was told to report to jail on Jan. 6. Judge Melissa Saragosa also ordered Mayweather to complete 100 hours of community…

Now the 25 year-old…

Team Pacquiao has made itself clear that they would rather take some money from Mayweather than fight him in the ring. Continuing their quest with this ridiculous lawsuit, that holds no merit whatsoever. Floyd Jr. never said anything to put…
