    True but Bradley wants the belt for legacy, why fight Cotto without an extra incentive? if he gets a strap out of it, people will see that in the history books.

    Still a good fight regardless but if I were timmy I would try to capture a strap, Cotto is no slouch he can fight Bradley especially the aggressive Cotto, this is a bad style match up for Bradley.
    I agree. For Tim to take the risk there should be a belt on the line for him as you said. I just remember a year or so ago tim saying he would fight him and have been wanting it ever since.

    Definatly a dangerous fight for tim but not impossible....

        Bradley can do the full 154 if he wants this fight to happen.

          He is a natural 140lber he's just at 147 for the money.
          Bradley fought for years at 152 pounds in the amateurs. He's too short for other big JMW but Cotto is a small JMW himself who really should be fighting at 147.

              I don't think bradley would even want to do a catch weight. He was on sports nation earlier and said capturing a belt at 154 is something he would like to do in the near future. Cotto needs to get himself a belt so they could make it happen!

                But I think he would only fight Cotto for a belt. If Cotto had a strap he would do it.
                He would fight cotto to get a good payday, screw a belt

                    yup, thats why a few years ago he said he would fight Cotto because he had a belt, but it has to be the right opponent. You can't put little Bradley in with some tall ass guy like Austin Trout. It has to be a legit tough fight but a fair fight, only one I can think of is Cotto, its a legit credible legacy fight if Bradley fought a title against him.

                    I worry though because stylistically Cotto is a bad match up for Bradley. If Bradley proves me wrong and beats him clearly, The guy proves he is greater than Floyd, B hop, Ward, etc. We have to give the man his respect already. He doesn't cherry pick and has taken on all the challenges, and I wish I could throw my soda on anyone who keeps bringing up the Amir Khan fight, Bradley never ducked Khan, who the hell ducks Khan to fight the beast aka Pacman? makes no sense.

                    Bradley will probably be the greatest American fighter we had in a long long time. Most American guys with skills like Floyd, Ward, B hop, Jones Jr all cherry picked fights, Bradley doesn't.

                    Man I love this dude he is great for the sport.
