Timothy Bradley gives interview:Talks end of cold war fights, Cotto/Martinez and more

Doubt Cotto is going to be willing to drop from 160 all the way down to 147 he'd be daft to do that.

I was thinking a fight between Cotto and Bradley at 154 lbs.

I wouldn't be surprsied to see him go to 154

Yeah, win or lose - Cotto's going back down to 154

It'd be a great fight I think. At the moment I think it's 50/50 - if Cotto gets beat up bad, even in a winning performance, then I'd maybe favor Bradley. Because regardless - these two on Saturday are going to war

If Cotto were to win - I think the only thing that would keep him at 160 is the Rubio mandatory/soft touch to at least get one defense in - sort of as a thank you to the WBC. If the fight is competitive, giving Sergio a rematch or if HBO offers him a ******ed amount of money to get murdered by GGG

Not a bad match-up. Hadn't thought of that one. I'd take Cotto over Bradley.

but if it was to happen, at what weight?

It would be at 154 lbs, where Cotto prefers to be at. And Bradley has already gone on record saying that he can fight at 154 lbs no problem. And he used to fight at 154 in the amateurs.

Even if Cotto gets beat bad, I still don't see Bradley pulling it off. He's no Austin Trout, tall and with long reach and with bigger size. Nor is he a southpaw. Just doesn't have those kind of things going for him as an advantage.

If Cotto wins, he will have so many options (Martinez rematch, Pacquaio, Mayweather, Bradley, Canelo/Lara).
