    They're not even remotely similar in power, Floyd fought much more conservatively when he initially moved up in weight but he's begun to trade much more in his recent fights. While still only throwing single shots, he was walking down Mosley, then backed up Ortiz who outweighed him by like 15 pounds with combos, and buckled Cotto at 154 with a flush uppercut. Compared to that, Tim's done squat in the power department.
    Shane just doesn't have it anymore. Bradley has been fighting elite prime fighters for awhile so your not going to run through those guys the way you would an over the hill mosley. Backed Ortiz up? Victor had Floyd on the ropes not the other way around. Floyd did buckle Cotto at 154 touche but I think Bradleys body attack will make Cotto wilt late. Cotto is a name but he isn't the same fighter he was pre-pac pre-margarito. Bradley has enough skill to land enough to set up a late stoppage IMO.

        Bradley is desperate. Calling out a 154 guy when he himself just moved to 147 and won the title from Pacquiao tells me there is no rematch against Pacquiao and doesn't see a big money fight coming his way soon. So naturally he has to call the next biggest PPV fighter near his weight class that is not with Golden Boy.

        Bradley should not have signed with TR. He signed with them for one fight against Pacquiao, and I just don't see any other fight in his future that will give him the $ he deserves. Had he signed with GB, he would not have gotten Pacquiao, or at least not immediately. But he would have gotten Khan, the entire GB staple at 140, fights with Ortiz or Lopez and also fights with free agents like Marquez, Cotto, and even a shot at Mayweather. All fights that would have given him 7 figure paychecks, and a fat one for the Mayweather fight.

        Now Bradley is stuck in Top Rank with a questionable victory, praying he gets a rematch with Pac, or worse a rematch with Peterson, a guy he beat. It's sad.

          C'mon now, you're comparing present-day Shane to the Shane that Floyd fought? That Mosley gave Cotto all he could handle, crushed Mayorga at 154, then adopted Margarito. Who's Bradley fought? He lost to Pac who pretty much laughed at his 'power', the fight with Alexander was just awful, you want to talk about over the hill, that'd be Casamayor who was smoking weed during training camp. And yes, Floyd was backing up Ortiz, what fight were you watching? Bradley's body attack was basically useless against Pac and Manny was in close quarters with him throughout the fight, but Tim's supposed to wilt a 154 Cotto that Pac wouldn't even touch at 150?

          Tim's not stopping Cotto.
          And he has nothing resembling Floyd's power. I don't know how you can say that with a straight face when Tim's barely sporting double digit KOs.

                I hate the weight tho..147lb I would be much more confident in Bradley beating Cotto with ease..May would beat Bradley but I think Bradley will make it an exciting fight..Bradley beats Pac..Wonder which one steps up??I think Pac will make some kind of an excuse..He does not like needles so he can't fight Bradley..Or his mother said she don't want him mixing with Bradley no more..Something very lame no doubt...

                      Good fight. Cotto wins at 154. But Bradley doesn't make it easy.
