Cotto to Fight Marquez/Bradley Winner

[AP♠]

Bbbbring it.



I like Cotto @147 if he could make the weight, I think he could beat allot of these guys. If they want Cotto to come down at a catch weight so be it as long as there's no title on the line.

yeah i dont like the fact that molina will be his comeback fight. Molina isnt a push over. On the other hand everyone is assuming cotto wont fight Bradley or Marquez at a catch weight. style wise i think Bradley will give him more problems unless he fights like he did against ruslan. People thinking Marquez will run over Cotto lmao. Marquez looks better when the guys are coming at him like pac. Cotto would be stronger and give him problems with his jab so id favor him.

[Ringlife]

I like this move from Cotto what I don't like is him fighting Molina but I like the idea of him fighting the winner of Bradley vs Marquez. So lets just hope he gets past Molina which won't be easy.

Miguel Cotto back with Top Rank and HBO, to fight Carlos Molina on October 5, 2013, to fight Marquez/Bradley winner, will be trained by Freddie Roach.

Good for Cotto coming back to show everyone he's not 'damaged goods' like everybody says

On the real doe, he should concentrate on Molina first and beat him convincingly then talk about Marquez or Bradley

'No aprende'

Nevertheless #warCotto all day!

I agree here. Cotto, a couple of years ago, said that he was only interested in the marquee names, then he fights Trout, loses, and now there are rumors of a fight against Molina who is, more or less, the same type of high risk/no reward fighter that Trout was. If Molina was a title holder I could see the point but, for a tuneup, this is dangerous and if it backfires it's all over.

If there will be no titles at stake he might as well just fight Bundrage until he waits for the megafight next year.

Wow....just imagine, Bradley could have: Pac, Cotto, JMM, Peterson, Abregu, Provid, Alexander all as wins on his resume. The guy is going to be running this sport before long and will be one of those old fashion "built from scratch" PPV stars

Let's not get carried away. I like lil Timmy but that resume is hardly elite.

The DA fight was terrible and since then we've seen that Alexander is a B level fighter. Prov...let's not even go there. Abregu, more like Abrewho?

The Pac win was laughable and if he beats JMM and does so without controversy, it will be his best win in years against world class opposition. If he continues and beats Cotto at 154, that would be a very good win too, especially if Cotto beats Molina in the build up and looks good. Personally I don't believe Cotto can make 147 anymore and be healthy.

Alexander Undefeated..
Abregu Undefeated..
Peterson Undefeated..
Prov one loss that many thought he won..
Pac Legend,No matter what ya think he got the W

Not to mention he unified the belts with Holt who was ranked top 5 in the div at the time..Beat Witter in England..

Yet you say he has not had a good win in yrs??Dude has an elite resume,I can go nitpicking any fighters resume..The thing is you can only fight who's in front of you..Bradley has not only did that,but won them all against highly ranked and Champion opponents..The guy deserves major credit bro..

Cotto's best is long gone! If he moves to 47 he'll be worse off because he will deplete his body of to much fluids! whatever strength he has will not be there at welter! I wish this guy would retire and don't want to see him as an opponent because his experence won't help him to stay out of big danger as an opponent! Some guys could pick up the pennies and not get hurt but Cotto doesn't have those skills or style!!
He's earned very well and if he has good management in regards to savings he and his family should enjoy their lives! The kid came to fight in good condition and was a respected competitor. That doesn't last forever atleast Molina demonstrates little to no power and if Cotto feels he needs to fight these are the guys he needs to be in with it! Titles are not going to be there for him, if he goes after any of the "named" guys he gets stopped at this phase of his career! Everyones career stops at some point, his highest points are gone! I like Cotto, I hope he finds the door without anymore pain! Ray.

I never said he hasn't had a good win in years, I said his win against JMM would be his best win in years.

Prov is a tough little fighter with exceptional power but he isn't anything more than a c level ****er, are we agreed on that? Bradley went life and death with the guy. Some had Prov winning. Fun fight but it shouldn't have been like that.

The Pac fight is simply unforgivable, literally the worst decision since .... well God knows, I haven't seen such a bad decision in years, nor have many people in this sport. I haven't heard of anyone, professionals, judges (the ones who reviewed the fight afterwards), announcers, etc etc give Bradley any more than 4 rounds...how did he win that???

Casamayor was/is old! And in all honesty was a lethargic performance by Bradley. The Alexander fight was terrible, almost as bad as Joe/Bhop. Since then Alexander has gone on to show us he isn't the elite boxer promoters wanted us to think he is.

The Abregu fight was just another lethargic performance against yet another c level opponent.

Now we come to 2009...that's 4 years ago and his last impressive win against a man who has since gone on to prove himself multiples times, yes there have been issues with PEDs but he has had terrific nights against the likes of Ortiz and Khan.

Holt and Witter, again very good wins but they were all half a decade ago. Bradley hasn't been active and he has struggles against average opponents.

Don't get me wrong, lil Timmy is a good fighter, solid heart, good athlete, he might even be verging on being elite. He;s a bit like what Rod**** was to tennis, a guy who could beat the best on his day but his day wasn't often enough and the other athletes around him were far too good, far too often.

P.S. JMM could be Bradley's best win, if it is without controversy. I actually hope Bradley wins because I think Bradley v Floyd makes a better fight than Canelo v Floyd and it leaves the road open for negotiations for Pac/JMM 5.

You must not have been watching much boxing(no offense)if you did not see a worst decision..Pwill Lara Martinez Cintron Cloud Campillo was all far(Far!!)worst decisions bro..I'm one who thought Bradley won,and I'd sit with anyone(and have done so)and show how I came to that conclusion..

I think you missed my point a bit bro..I can break down any fighters resume..Talk about what guys have done since or that the fighters a certain fighter beat was just a C level guy etc etc..My point is this,I don't do that,I just go by where guy's where ranked(and if they deserved their ranking)and if guy's were Champions..Based on this,Bradley has a very good resume..No matter how you feel about Abergu,he's only lost to Bradley..I don't see a line of fighters in a hurry to mix it up with him either..He's a dangerous guy,and Bradley outclassed him..Prov is another fighter your not going to see guy's lining up to fight..Alexander's lone lost is also to Bradley..Not to mention he was a unified Champion and an undefeated fighter when Bradley beat him..

My point is when you look at Bradley's resume and see when he fought these guy's they were highly ranked dangerous foes..No matter what ya feel about them hindsight..That's not a fair way to look at it from a Bradley point of view..

Now where I agree with you at,is that Marquez if he can beat him without the out cry(which will be hard bro,Marquez is a legend even if Tim shuts him out I'm sure you'll have people saying Tim got a gift)then it would be the biggest win for Tim because of who Marquez is in the sport..
