Boxing: ‘Bradley can challenge Pacquiao’

MANILA: New WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson believes Timothy Bradley would give Manny Pacquiao a tough challenge should the two fight in 2012. Peterson said Bradley, who is among the fighters in Pacquiao’s shortlist of possible opponents, has enough skill to frustrate the Filipino champion. “Bradley definitely has the talent,” said Peterson. “Plus he’s got the will to win. A lot of people don’t like the way he fights but his style is effective and he’s undefeated.”
