      Mayweather agreed to a catchweight to face Marquez so please don't talk and go troll someplace else.

          Bradley needs to fight on the inside and he's fought guys who aren't very good at that(Holt, Peterson, Alexander). He would get worked over on the inside and I don't think he'd be able to do much on the outside.

          Cotto is a better boxer than Bradley. He'd outjab him and outmuscle him. Even if Cotto gassed, which is possible, he'd likely have such an early lead that he'd be able to cruise to the finish.

          Disagree entirely there and Peterson is actually a good inside fighter, I can agree with the rest however. Bradley more than handles his own up close and he'll land sufficient enough to the body to slow Miguel down, I also view Bradley as the better body puncher, he's not one dimensional in his attack.

          I'd take Bradley's two hands, superior conditioning to a U.D, and Tim has the durability to pull it off.

            You're right Peterson's not a bad inside fighter, Bradley's just better which is why he beat him. I was thinking that right after I typed it that Peterson's not bad on the inside. Cotto's just as good as Bradley on the inside plus he's bigger and a stronger puncher.

            Bradley couldn't keep Cotto off of him. He'd eat that jab all night, I actually just don't think it's a good style matchup for Bradley. Some of it depends on Cotto's right hand which could be better in his second fight post surgery(it has been in the past). But I really just don't see Bradley taking the chances that he normally does cause his only advantage IMO is his conditioning. Up close they'll be somewhat even in what lands but Cotto will do more damage, and Bradley isn't crazy active to where he'll steal rounds just based on activity.

              Tim has great stamina but his skills don't match those of Cotto and his power is average at best. Tim is also the smaller men and would be fighting with 10oz gloves compared to the 8oz gloves they use at 140 and 147. Cotto would walk him down and probably stop him late or coast to a UD. BTW watch the Bradley/Holt fight Tim gets hit by some vicious left hooks in that fight.

                    That's the thing though, I don't see Cotto forcing Bradley to do anything he's incapable of doing because Bradley has the quicker feet, and I do acknowledge Cotto's ability to cut off the ring. Just that there is no area Bradley can't fight in. Also, Cotto's right hand is another reason why I'm confident in picking Bradley, at the elite level Cotto's right hand is really neglected or maybe it's the surgery as you said, but I can safely say that it's almost non existent.

                    Another thing that needs to be viewed is Bradley's defense in close, he's not nearly as vulnerable as Cotto. "Bradley isn't crazy active" notice that Holt, Alexander were afraid to get swamped, hence they were excessive in clinching, whenever you get the chance to rewatch those fights...take note of that. I'm not saying he's Calzaghe-like in activity, but he's definitely active and unlike Alexander, Holt...Cotto does not clinch.

                      That's how a lot of Cotto fanatics are. Cried with the Pac catch weight and now they think it's cool since Cotto is doing it. I exposed him for being a hypocrite and his comeback was "cyberstalker".

                      Good thing I was looking for a video and this moron's thread came up for me to expose him.
