Reporter 1: You said you're not much of a talker, you said up there, you know, trash talk and what not. You know, Floyd's a big talker, and that's what's kind of made him the star that he is today, I mean...Can you change at all? I mean, are you inclined to change at all? You're still young. Could you become something like that?
Timothy Bradley: Naaah dude, I'll never become anything that I'm not, man. I won't sell myself out like that.
R1: Certainly Floyd's...a lot of it's shtick, a lot of it's an act 'cause it sells, I mean...
TB: Floyd, I think Floyd talks because he needs to feel like he's superior and he needs to have that confidence. Floyd doubts himself. Floyd doubts himself.
R1: Why do you think that?
TB: Why won't he fight Manny? *shrugs* Why won't he fight Manny?
Reporter 2: What do you think the reason is, in your opinion?
TB: He's scared, man. He don't wanna fight that. Floyd don't wanna fight that. He don't wanna see Manny in the ring.
Reporter 3: If he did fight Manny how do you think it goes?
TB: I think he'll beat him! Easy!
R3: You think Mayweather beats Pacquiao?
TB: I think he'll beat him easy, I don't know what he afraid of. I think he'll beat him easy.
R2: If Floyd said he'd fight you would you take that as disrespect?
TB: Huh? [Tim didn't hear the question]
R2: If Floyd said he would fight you but he won't fight Manny, do you look at that as a sign of disrespect?
TB: No
R2: How would you look at that, or just, you're a smaller guy?
TB: An honor. An honor.
R1: You just heard that spiel about doctors... *inaudible*...
TB: No. Definitely not.
R1: Why Not?
TB: Because. I'm a fighter, I'm cut, I got headbutted. It's boxing. It's a fight! You deal with that. I was cut my last fight and I still continued on and fight. Regardless man, you fight to the end. You fight to the end, period.
