    This guy comes back and beats a disabled 40 year old who most of YOU could have beaten (his knees were buckling under his own body weight and Cotto was simply pulling his head down to get the ref to count him). Suddenly there were threads picking him over Froch and Ward. Not surprised many of the same people think he would beat Bradley.

    If Floyd fought the injured leftovers Cotto fights and took the losses Cotto has taken he would be fighting for $5,000 at a state fair.

    Cotto's nationality and "sick tattooz" keep his mediocrity under the table.

      Damn dude... You remain salty. It's OK buddy. You picked Martinez to bust up Cotto and got the call wrong. It's OK, so did 70% of this board and the Vegas oddsmaker. It happens, sometimes the underdog comes through. Let the butthurt flow out of you, I promise you'll feel better in the morning.

      And note, if Mayweather fought the fights Cotto did, no critic could ever lambast that dudes shaky resume. Losses come with the territory when risks are involved. You win some you lose some. Stop the hate brother, it's weighing you down

        Cotto would destroy Bradley...

        Tim is a beast but cotto would be too much skill, power, and strength. I don't think it would be competitive at all..

          Your crazy, bradley would muscle cotto around on the inside. All cotto has is a power advantage (sometimes that's all you need) if cotto can't hurt tim. He's getting worked. Plus, IMO this has FOTY written all over it.

            If this fight gets made, let's bet.. I think cotto wrecks him.. Tim doesn't possess the defense/counters of Floyd, power and relentless pressure like margs and manny.. Plus Tim won't have the firepower to keep cotto from attacking. And I think in the skills department, cotto is better. Tim is a good boxer but cotto is better.. I don't see how cotto loses

              If this fight gets made I'm definitely going all in! So yea, I'll bet you.

              I don't know man, this is a fight I've been wanting to see for a long time. I truly think Tim can take him. I think they're pretty much equal in every category except for power. Tim's no kayo artist but he punches hard enough to keep people honest.

                I think at 140 or 147 had they met, it would be what your expecting and Tim would be a live dog, but at 154 or even higher cw, cotto is gonna be too much for Tim..

                  Call me crazy, but I don't think the weight is gonna matter much. It's not like cotto is a true 160 pounder. Hell, he's not even a true 154 pounder. I'd say do the fight at 152 and it's on!

                    A 154 lber holding the 160 Lineal Title vs a 147 lber who hasn't fought once at 154. Dope. Let's see it. Bradley seems so mediocre yet has so many good victories, it's cray.

                      Bradley might even be below mediocre, but he has pulled out some nice wins, albeit in mainly ugly head butt fest, but wins none the less. I cant believe people would like to see a guy who just won a 160 title fight a guy who is arguably 1-3 in his last 4 fights and is a 147 pound fighter. Cant believe people would like to see this. Give me two fighters in their pro debut over this. im sorry.
