      Let's see. A guy that makes his hay on the inside with absolutely no punching power vs. a guy that will kill you on the inside with his body and head combination punching.

      Yeah, horrible stylistic match up for Bradley. Oh yeah, Cotto has faster hands than Bradley as well. Check the tape.

      And if Bradley wants to fight from range, he's dealing with a guy that was having success against Mayweather with his jab. Cotto will destroy Bradley, and I'd bet money on that. Especially at 154.

        So if Cotto beats Sergio and becomes the LINEAL Middleweight Champion Arum is going to put him in with a blown-up welterweight coming off an easy loss to Pacquiao? C'mon Bob, get your head out of your arse.

          You are crazy! Mayweather couldn't outbox Cotto & you think Bradley will do it! Lol Bradley is going to get dropped with a left hook to the body!

            Bradley boxes Cotto up, he's not fast enough to keep up with Tim and he doesn't punch like Pac does. I don't know why Arum would want to match the loser of tomorrow's fight against Tim.

              LOL, you think Cotto is gonna be working magic when Arum makes him drop back to 147 to fight Tim? When Cotto loses tomorrow night, he won't have the pull to demand Tim move up to 154. Arum knows this and this was his plan to get Tim a mega PPV with Cotto and Cotto will have to give in.

                Wow. Those are two names I haven't sized up to fight each other as yet. Bad matchup stylistically for Timmy but I think he would find a way to pull it off. If Cotto has to come back down to 147 for that fight right after this one he would be less physically capeable than normal and at this stage in his career he probably can't afford that against a top tier fighter like Timmy. Cotto would give him work and would touch him up but not enough to win.

                  Cotto wouldn't go down to 150 for Manny yet his going to go down 147 for cash cow Bradley.

                  Cottos timing well nullify anything Bradley has. Not a good match up for Timmy but a good fight non the less

                    I don't even want to think about another fight until tomorrow is over, but I think Cotto would stop Bradley.

                      Horrible fight for Tim. He should not take it. Arum has a small stable of legit fighters and this is his way of smoothing things out by putting all his big named fighters against each other no matter the weight issue. This fight would make Tim a lot of money but it would shorten his career. He has stated himself that he would not want to fight Cotto after watching him destroy his last opponent. I think Cotto is too big and too good. Tim is really a 140lb fighter.
