Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Open To Moving Up For Canelo, Cotto

[-PBP-]

Those are the only big fights out there. Everybody from 140-147 on the other side is a Haymon fighter.

Against anyone not Pac, Bradley fights a perfect fight on that night against Marquez. Even Floyd will lose so sure of it.

Bradley is a good dude but that doesn't sound like a wise career move, at least not from a physical standpoint. Bradley barely has enough punching power to keep most WW honest, how's he going to keep the bigger guys off him?

I'm usually pretty bullish on the Desert Storm, but you make a good point.

Inb4 Provodnikov hits harder than Cotto and Canelo anyway

Where the hell does this myth that Bradley has no power come from lol If he lands clean, it's going to hurt and it's going to do damage. The shots he was throwing in the first half of the Pacquiao rematch had knockout written on them- they just didn't land.

You think he's just going in there with pillows?

I hate the mob mentality that some of these bs posters use. Timmy has been matched competitively since Kendall Holt in 2009 and proved to be one of the best Jr Welters during his time there. He has wins over Abregu, Prov, JMM and yes Pac at Welter, nothing to talk down IMO. Boxing could use more of these type of guys. As far as moving up, why not? He has never relied on his punching power and is physically strong enough. Hell, the guy is basically the same size as Cotto/Canelo.

As soon as I read he has a win over Pac at WW... I stopped reading and realized you were a total idiot...

I swear ppl dont know **** bout boxing.......timmy at 154 pushin it....but timmy at 154 against cotto or canelo come on now thats a ko for cotto or canelo in 6 rds u mean to tell me prov hits harder then canelo....noway not to mention nelo is faster and wayyyyyy more skilled then prov same with cotto an prov almost beat timmy had him hurt an put down an pacman schooled him in there second fight if anybody should move up from 147 to fight cotto or canelo it should be pac .........floyd already whooped both of em lol!!!!!!!

You're completely clueless...Tim fought the wrong fight against Provo..when he was moving in the middle rounds he dominated... when he fought Marquez he boxed... that Timmy beats Canelo because Canelo can't handle effective movement... Cotto would be a tough fight for Timmy because Cotto won't be concerned with Timmy's power..and you need to keep Cotto off of you...

Everyone and their momma beat Canelo if they use movement.

Come on Tim, don't be silly, you belong at 147 and below. Now get your ass to training and destroy Chaves on every level.

Bradley at 154 is not a bad move. I like the fact that "Desert Storm" will fight anybody. He wants to fight the best and the best all have titles. I dont think it really matters if it's Cotto or Canelo but I would like to see him fight at 154. Take the move up slow, get a belt at 154 then gradually go up in weight.
