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

[Lords]

Bradley was scared to fight Khan and now he's talking about a fight with Cotto?

[Rome-By-Ko]

Cotto doesn't have poor defense, first of all. He just doesn't have the greatest, ala Floyd. Neither does Pac, or half the fighters in the game, so what? You exaggerating. Watch his fights without what I sense is hating and you'll learn that beating a 2007 Mosley, among others, requires a bit of defense. They both ****** on each other but Cotto slips a lot of punches my dude. He nearly wiped 140 out of contenders besides for Floyd, you need some defense for that too. Second, Cotto lost his love, passion, and trainer for boxing for a while...hence horrible balance and technique in coming forward against Pac. His new trainer has him revitalized, focused. Third, Cotto doesn't have stamina issues so much as got run down in two losses and doesn't have incredible stamina. He especially did not have stamina issues at 140, did you see through them old fights? I don't think you did. He went at it with guys way taller than him and wore them down. He had one of his best rounds of the night in round 9 in Margs 2, TKO'd Judah late, who I would say was an elite fighter, not undefeated but elite. And Cotto won late rounds against Mosley and Pac.

Cotto has always fought and beat guys who may have these advantages that Tim has. He's faced speedy, slick, durable, strong fighters. Not that Tim is strong, kid got no KO's. Cheato is a tough fight for anyone, way more durable than Bradley. Mosley 07 had speed, power, pop in his shots and a lot more crips/accurate than Bradley is. Bradley throws wide a lot, doesn't have a great right. Cotto's jab is elite and he can take a punch and a half. I don't hate on Bradley at all though, just think he's not that great. Khan would give it to him and so would Marquez. And I got Cotto over him but that **** aint happening lol.

I have no hate at all for Cotto,but lets be honest he faded in the Mosley fight and weather you thought he won or lost he ran the second half of the fight..Mosley is one of my fav fighters,but Mosley does not have the ring I.Q. of Bradley..What slick fighter did Cotto beat with the skill set of Bradley??Plaese don't say Judah or Paulie M..Neither is on Bradley's level,I've followed Cotto for a long time and he has always had poor defense(while I'll admit he is no Maidana in there,but he is not hard to hit)and bad stamina..Someone said to me before that Khan is another one who does not have stamina issues when he does..Just because you win a fight late does not mean you don't have stamina issues..

Cotto does not have the greatest foot work either(which is why Pac broke him down and hit him at will)even in the second Marga's fight he was resorting back to his back pedaling again late because he has stamina issues and footwork problems..No hate on Cotto,he is one of the best fighters of this era..But I give Bradley a good shot at beating Cotto,even if Cotto was prime...I've never seen Cotto face a fighter like Bradley bro sorry,I'm interested in seeing who your going to name that has the same skill set..

You said Bradley does not have a right hand??Funny that's Bradley's primary weapon..It's that punch that knocks down his opponents and his best punch tbh..

Cotto took big shots in that Mosley fight and he fought his azz off not to mention he's human so fading in the later rounds is pretty normal. Hell, Angulo and Kirkland faded in the first round of there fight. Cotto's footwork was a disaster before but now it looks good. Steward worked on his footwork and his new trainer did as well. Also Cotto had ZERO foodwork problems in the Margarita fight. His footwork like alot better then any of his previous fights. Go watch Cotto's footwork in the first fight with Margarita and then there second fight. ALOT different. Back pedaling does not mean bad footwork.

I'm glad Bradley's going for these tough fights. But from what I saw in his last fight he looked like he lost a good amount of speed at 147lb. That, along with his lack of power, I don't see him being able to beat Cotto unless he's able to somehow get in, land a few shots, then get out before Cotto tags him enroute to a decision. But Cotto being Cotto I don't think that'll happen, especially if he comes in fighting like he did against Margarito.

Jeez, I musta struck a nerve or something. Some guys on here can get so sensitive whenever their favorite fighter gets called out or something. But anyways, since I'm a BOXING FAN, I'll try to explain this without acting a fool. At 147 or 154, I think Cotto is a tough fight for anyone. Didn't Cotto actually mention that he could make 147lb not too long ago anyways? If Bradley said anything under 147 then I think it'd be absolutely ridiculous, but Cotto's not exactly a big guy at 154, and 147 doesn't seem like it would be impossible for him to make either. I get where you're coming from though, if you call a guy out you should be willing to go up to their current weight and fight them. But if Bradley's serious about fighting Cotto, and if Cotto can still make 147, then why not? I still think Cotto would beat him decisively, especially considering Bradley's tendency to swing wildly when things get heated.

Bradley's in over his head with this one. He can't be asking for Cotto, not now at least.

Not that this fight has any chance of happening, but Cotto is too physically strong to be beaten by a smaller guy who does most of his work on the inside. His jab will control the outside game and Bradley doesn't quite have the power or speed that it takes to overwhelm Miguel. Great fight if it's ever made but right now it just wouldn't be in Tim's favor to sign up for this.

i got to agree here, cotto is a star in his own right and even produce 600k+ buys with margarito, i dont see how bradley demand anything...

and cotto beat bradley to a pulp!

I agree 100% Cotto, show a little weakness when they bring the Fight to him! Bradley CAN NOT push Cotto around! Cotto, would take this guy Heart! Bradley, can not tell Cotto what weifht class to fight in! Cotto, brings the $ in this fight! Canlo would be a harder fight for Cotto!

Arum, need to save Tim from himself! LOL Cotto, must be calling Arum right now & Arum is ignoring the Phone! However, if Arum is smart he would give Cotto whatever need wants! Now, that there is no Contract!
