JMM was older the night he fought Bradley than Mosley was the night he fought Cotto.
Marquez had just KO'd Pac bro..Mosley was moving back down in weight and went the distance with Collazo..
Very close,I'm going with Bradley tho..Wins over Pac and Marquez are better then wins over Mosley and a one eyed Marga's..Not to mention Bradley 140lb resume is better then Cotto as well..Bradley unified twice at the weight..While Cotto never unified at all..
Close but I'd go Bradley..
Miguel Cotto, wins over an almost prime Mosley, fought and almost beat Margy, Terrific night against Floyd, good 4 rounds against Pac, he beat a very good version of Judah too, fought Quintana and Malignaggi, stopped both and both were top, unbeaten guys at the time.
Bradley has the worst decision win in Pac, a very good win with JMM, tough war with Prov who may prove to be a very good fighter, but his run at 140 wasn't always the best. His biggest fight against Alexander was dud and he openly ducked Khan. The Peterson, Witter and Holt wins are good but they don't quite stack up to what Cotto has done.
Obviously if Bradley can beat Pacquiao without controversy, that will change a lot of things.
How do you give Cotto credit for loses against Floyd and Plasterito?
Bradley, he has a win on paper over Pac the rematch will tell more. He beat some top prime fighters. He also has a win over JMM. Cotto has SSM, though his losses do hurt him a bit. He didn't lose when he was old or over the hill. I give zero credit for who you fight, it's who you beat. Bradley officially got the win so he gets some credit though not total.
Bradley's win over Marquez is better than anything Cotto has done. Also, Bradley hasn't officially lost (even though he lost 10 rounds to Pacquiao). Cotto has lost every big fight he's been in except for Mosley.

Cotto's win over a primish Sugar Shane is better than anything Bradley's done.
Bradley didn't beat Pac.
Overall resume wise, Cotto gets the nod. I really don't know how to factor in losses though. That could be in Bradley's favor.
lmao GTFOH! Not even.
What a dumb comparison, Cotto hasn't needed questionable decisions to pull off wins unlike Bradley.
Cotto done it the hard way and hasn't had some like Bob Arum paying extra for judges to take a blind eye to things that happened... alia Manny Pacquiao fight and Ruslan Provdovnikov fight.
I still don't see how the hell Cotto has a better resume than Bradley. Maybe cause Floyd beat him and that's why the Floyd stans are voting for him along with the other group of blind fans(Cotto's flag legion).
I am in the minority but I did not even have to think about it. To me Bradley has a much better resume. I think Pacquiao clearly beat Bradley but he beat Cotto a hell of a lot worse. Margarito KOed him and there is absolutely no proof that his gloves were loaded, only hunches and suspicions. I thought Clottey beat him and he struggled way to hard with Mayorga. Then he had back to back one sided loses to Mayweather and Trout. Bradley's win over Marquez clearly puts him in front of Cotto to me. I know Cotto is very popular and I might get trashed for what I said here but I think it's the truth. Bradley is on almost every top 10 pound for pound list and Cotto is on almost nobody's top 10 pound for pound list. Why is that?
a better poll would be between andre ward and bradley.
or sven otkke and bradley..lol
Bradley is P4P #3, Otkke is nowhere to be found. Ward is P4P#2 (allegedly) so that comparison is more accurate.
Cotto lost most of his "major" fights and he punched Judah's balls off to win that fight. Cotto never turns down a challenge but he doesn't win them all.
I was gonna be so quick to say Bradley now just based on his wins of giving guys their first loss or loss in a while (officially not legit Pac). Hes fought Peterson who was prob on roids, Alexander when he was undefeated as well, Marquez after KOing Pac. Holt etc.
But that Sugar Shane Mosley fight Cotto won stands out cuz once again that was a Mosey like Pederson probably on Roids. Cotto then fought margarito with cment hands, pac n ay slightly in their prime too.
I just think bradleys 2 wins alone against marquez n pac (2 ATGs ) is undeniable. Yea he might robbed pac , but so did pac in marquez 3 so a win is a win
