Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley: If Miguel Cotto Makes 147, I'll Fight Him

[dorruel2.0]

Cotto is at his best from that mid range where he can pump his jab and set up his combinations behind it.

Bradley can fight on the outside, in the pocket, off the ropes ,etc.

Cotto too can fight in the pocket at times and off the ropes but he is less effective than when he boxes where Bradley is
very effective regardless of how he fights.

Bradley would have a pretty good chance against anyone on Cotto's resume imo. He probably loses to Pacquiao though and maybe Mosley.

Cotto can do that too. If the fight is in the center Cotto will also have the advantage because he has better jab, much better technique and boxing ability. I like Bradley hes very hard to beat gritty and fights with crazy determination. Hes great at nothing good at just about everything, but he doesnt have the style to fold Miguel. Cotto would break him down and stop him late.
And Bradley gets run over by Margarito, and 2007 Mosley stops him. I think Bradley has a better shot with Pac

I never said Cotto couldn't beat Bradley.

I just corrected you when you said Cotto was better in every way because he's not.

Cotto doesn't have much better technique and ability at all. I think technique and ability wise these guys are pretty close.

Cotto still relies far too heavily on his left hand. His right hand has it's moments but he doesn't use it no where near enough where Bradley has a equal two handed attack whether it be to the head or body.

Great fight.

Would love to see it.

Sounds like a brutal fight.

Bradley Best Hope Cotto CAN'T Make 147!

Bradley wants no part of Cotto. Period.

I disagree. Cottos' technique is much better than Bradley's. I think it has alot to do with his amateur background and better coaching. Bradley has a tendency to throw sloppy punches. You talk of Cottos' right hand, but Bradley doesnt even throw it properly, and throws wide left hooks that leave him open, that Holt capitalized on. Cotto would exploit these flaws. Miguel is a natural lefty so obviously he's going to use the left more, but the injury he sustained on his right shoulder is a large factor to why he seems a bit shy with that punch. It looked good in his last fight though.

A cotto-bradley matchup would be pretty sweet!

I'd pick Cotto over Bradley unless they were fighting at JWW where he is drained.

Well your entitled to your opinion but while i agree that Bradley get's sloppy with his work at times you underrating his overall ability because of it.

I can agree that Cotto's technique may be better but to say it's way better is not giving Bradley enough credit.

On another note, I actually think Cotto can still make 147 and i hope he does think about it because a Bradley - Cotto fight would be a good one regardless of who wins.

Bradly is yet to have a defining fight.... he is a champion, but far from a Star!

People read some of the ****z written in most websites and start believing what they read. Folks, Bradly is an undefeated champion that is yet to let us know if he can competite the the A listers.

Beating the likes of Casamayor, Alexander, Holt, Peterson & Witter are good solid wins, but far from great victories.

You can't have a defining fight if those fighters don't fight you.
