While there is still heavy uncertainty in the air, it seems very possible that we could be seeing a fifth fight between rivals Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez later this year.
Pacquiao is 2-1-1 in his series with Marquez but suffered a horrific knockout loss to the Mexico City legend during their fourth encounter.
And while the two men always make for great action, not everyone is backing another melee.

Jeff Mayweather not impressed by Marcos Maidana: ‘Go back and watch the fight and you’ll see he really got dominated’

Despite losing his May 3 fight against Floyd Mayweather, the stock on Marcos Maidana is as high as ever.
The rugged Argentinean came up short against Mayweather on the scorecards by way of a majority decision but he had several telling moments in the fight and performed far better than many expected he would.
One man not overly impressed is Las Vegas-based trainer Jeff Mayweather, who felt his nephew purposely chose to engage Maidana in a dog fight rather than box his way towards victory.

As seen with recent “Face Off” and “24/7” airings on HBO’s airwaves, the April 12 Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley rematch is starting to pick up some serious buzz.
Insider predictions on the match have produced varying results and in the coming weeks we will look to give you more thoughts from the boxing world on boxing’s latest pay per view showcase.
A recent visit though the Mayweather Boxing Club saw trainer Jeff Mayweather share his thoughts on the fight.
Check below for Jeff’s take on Bradley’s improvement since his controversial split-decision over Pacquiao in their first fight, his reason for siding with Pacquiao in the rematch, and more.
Better and better…
“I think that it’s going to be a good fight. I think that Bradley has shown himself to become a much better fighter. In all honesty I thought he lost first fight big. But since then, he’s shown that he’s gotten better and better in each fight. Pacquiao has just been knocked out as well. I expect it to be a good fight. Probably a lot closer than it was last time.”
Favoring Pacquiao slightly…
“At this point, I guess I still got to learn towards Pacquiao. He won the fight too big to not get the decision. I still think Bradley is going to give a great performance but I won’t be surprised if he pulls off the upset.”
Performing on a high level…
“I guess the one thing is that he showed me he’s got heart, he’s got will, and determination. And don’t get me wrong, I like Bradley as a fighter. Because he always seems to find a way, no matter what type of adversity he’s going through, he someone finds a way to still perform on a high level. The fight with Provodnikov, in that fight he showed tremendous heart, tremendous will. That was another fight that was very, very close. Could have went either way I thought.”
Growing as a fighter…
“But the Marquez fight, he actually showed that he has grown into a fighter that isn’t not ready for big fights. He’s ready for the big stage and he realizes that it’s no longer about Manny Pacquiao. It’s no longer about Marquez. Those guys are past their prime and he believes in his heart that he’s the guy now. Mentally I think he’s a much better fighter.”
How close Pacquiao is to the fighter who stopped Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Miguel Cotto in successive fights five years ago…
“To be honest, he’s not even close to that fighter anymore. It shows. When was the last time he knocked out anyone? It also seems like his killer instinct is gone. He’s not the same fighter.”

Jeff Mayweather expects Tim Bradley to be full of confidence heading into his rematch with Pacquiao

As he heads into the lone rematch of his career, an April 12 assignment in Las Vegas vs. Manny Pacquiao, WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley appears to be as brash as ever.
Bradley scored two uplifting victories in 2013, netting a narrow decision over Ruslan Provodnikov in March in a wild fight and coming back seven months later to edge Juan Manuel Marquez over twelve tense and tactical rounds.
And while the Pacquiao rematch presents a completely different kind of puzzle, Bradley seems upbeat for the chance to set the record straight following his controversial split-decision victory in the first meeting nearly two years ago.
“Tim Bradley, his confidence has gotten a lot higher than it was the first time after beating Marquez,” stated trainer Jeff Mayweather when asked about the fight recently during our conversation in Las Vegas.
“Well I just feel that Bradley is going to have more confidence than last time,” Mayweather added. “I don’t know if there’s anything either one of them can do different.”
Mayweather was adamant following Bradley’s victory over Pacquiao that the wrong man had been given the decision. And while he still maintains that belief, he knows fully well that two years can change things.
“I feel like the first fight that Pacquiao actually won,” Mayweather stated. “He didn’t get it. But Tim’s going to have a lot more confidence. And in the last fight he did twist his ankle pretty good.”
And while not quite being able to pinpoint why Bradley will have a different outlook heading into the second duel, Mayweather just expects a different fighter in two months.
“It seems to me like Tim is getting a little better,” Mayweather said. “He showed he can use angles and box a little bit. I just think he’s going to do better.”
