Floyd Mayweather Sr., is all too familiar with Manny Pacquiao not only as a spectator, but also as a trainer on the opposite corner.

There’s been a couple of instances where the elder Mayweather had seen Pacquiao fight up close. The first was when the Filipino legend destroyed Ricky Hatton and the second was when his son Floyd Jr. took a unanimous decision victory in boxing’s most lucrative fight last May.

It’s safe to say Mayweather knows a thing or two about Pacquiao and when he says Timothy Bradley will own the Pacman on Sunday (Manila time), he could be on to something.

“Overall, I think that if Bradley does what he did the other day versus [Rios], if Bradley fights that way right there, Pacquiao doesn’t have a chance,” said the 63-year-old Mayweather.
