    Bradley on his absolute A-Game, with a perfect game plan, and perfect execution of said game plan, would make it's 50/50 between Bradley by decision, or by Cotto KO or Decision. However, if Bradley messes up in any way (e.g. trying to fight on the inside, or any form of "being brave")... Cotto should KO him just about every time.

      The fight was only so close due to the 4” gash on top of Cottos eye caused by Clotteys head pretty early in the fight.

      Cotto takes this via late stoppage not being able to hurt Cotto and also being smaller and not as physically strong spells bad trouble for Bradley.

        Bradley ain't faster than zab, mosley or pac. he has enough power? you sure? he has 11 KO's. cotto's been hit with punchers like the three i just mentioned and only went down with pac.

        Why would cotto rush him? Cotto is at his best when his opponent tries to box with him. cotto's timing is better than bradley's.

          Judah is fast but does not have good timing,Shane(my fav fighter mind you)is fast but does not have good timing and is not a better boxer then Bradley..Better fighter yes,better boxer in terms of skill and setting his opponents up in traps no..Pac did not drop Cotto with power it was because he was off balance when hit,and just really did not see the punch coming..Bradley would box Cotto's ears off dude,Cotto then would have no choice but to make it a street fight that's were Bradley would really eat him up..Let's not forget Cotto was being out boxed by Judah and Judah does not have the skill set of Bradley..

            I think your overrating Bradley’s boxing skills here Bradley is the kind of fighter that does everything well but he is not spectacular in any department he is not some great boxer capable of out boxing the bigger stronger Cotto for 12 rounds he also lacks the power to trouble Cotto. Bradley has yet to be tested at elite level.

              Cotto dominates Bradley.

              I really wish Arum wasn't so set on Cotto vs Margarito for this summer, and instead set up Margarito vs Bradley and Cotto vs Marquez.

              JMM has been running his mouth as well as Shaw, and I would bet my user account and all of my points that both Timmy and Juan Manuel getting dominated.

                That's the thing.

                Bradley and Alexander are just average fighters at best. Yeah they look good against other B and C-class JWW's but against legit fighters like Cotto and Margarito....both get demolished.

                Hell I would favor Ricky Hatton over both, and I wouldn't be shocked at all if the winner gets dominated by Amir Khan.

                  i think cotto would knock him out

                  imo bradley is at his peak at 140, that is his final weight


                  he is like pacman, fighting above his weight classes bradley

                  look at how small he is, the guy just added pure muscle with a great conditionar, if he didnt like other boxers dont that much, he would prob fight at 130-135 max

                  bradley would get exposed at 147 imo

                    Your putting to much stock in Cotto's power(which won't always win you fights)who has Cotto dominated on the elite level??Mosley was not dominated,he lost to Marga's,Pac,Clottey is not elite and he went life and death with him..So what elite fighter did Cotto dominated??Or clearly beat imo the Mosley fight was questionable..He was stopped by Marga's,Pac beat the living hell out of him so he has been tested and imo failed the test..I think Cotto is a great fighter but I'm not overrating Bradley if your not overrating Cotto..

                      So is that why when Bradley called Hatton out there was no answer??Anyway Cotto is in the same boat imo based on what ya saying..Cotto's only win over an elite fighter was Mosley,and even that win is questionable...Other then that the man has been stopped when it came down to stepping his game up to the elite level so what are ya talking about??
