Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley Discusses Strategy To Defeat Miguel Cotto

[Lullaby]

Tim Bradley should get the "loser" of the Cotto vs. Canelo fight, not the winner. It's not like beating Chaves gives Bradley a title. Now if Bradley beats GGG or Andrade vs. Charlo winner in spring 2015, then he should get the winner.

You Sir is sadly an Idiot.

You Sir is sadly an Idiot.

So Bradley loses "twice" to Pacquiao, "survives" a fight with Provodnikov, and gets a decision over 40 yr. old Marquez, and "if" he beats Chaves in a non-title fight, he should be in line for the winner of Cotto vs. Canelo for the middleweight title? And you call me an idiot? What does that make you?

Tim walks around at 175. This is a great fight and there's nothing wrong with this fight.

Yeah, he walks around at 175 but made a career of fighting at 140. There is a reason he doesn't fight at 160...he'd be fat and slow. This fight should be at 150 to 152 for it to be fair. Otherwise, Bradley will have to bulk up like a mofo to make 155 without being fat.

So who else has been able to beat Pac? Tim lost 20 + pounds in about 2 weeks to make weight for the Provo fight, by far the worst shape he has ever been in during a fight. He still outboxed Provo the majority of the fight. JMM is a HOF boxer who is the only guy that even seem capable of beating PAc and that's after facing him 3 times previous.

Cotto got his title arguably by beating a 40+ year old cripple, so I'm not really sure your argument is all too solid.

worst shape he was ever in??? the man got beaten from pillar to post out on his feet for 4 rounds may have gotten brain damage from it and threw 5000 punches during it. how the hell was he in bad shape?? I say he was on something to perform like that

Pacquiao, Marquez, and Ruslan Provodnikov, are 3 of the smallest welterweights in the division. One could argue that Bradley only beat Marquez, and Marquez's record as a welterweight is horrible (his only win was against Manny). Now Bradley fighting Chaves at WW. How does that win propel Bradley to a Middleweight or Jr. Middleweight title fight? A win over GGG, or the Andrade vs. Charlo winner, would give Bradley a Middleweight or Jr. Middleweight title, and then he would be deserving of a shot. If he can't get that fight, at least get a WW belt, but without a belt, I can't see it. Other options are Korobov vs. Lee winner, Peter Quillen, or Lara. Bradley needs something other than a win over Chaves to be a legit contender!

Miguel beats him

Timmeh beats Alvarez though and surprises everyone

Terrible fight to be made at this point. The winner of cotto-canelo is gonna fight the winner of ggg-murray.

They praise bradly if he beats chaves but say that thurman is a nobody.

I hope Thurman gets the Brook fight! Since we're talking about Bradley moving up to 154, do you think it would be smart for Thurman to move to 154? I think if Charlo beats Andrade for the Jr. MW title, Thurman should seek that belt, if he can't get Brook. Whatcha' think? Another possibility could be a Thurman vs. Bradley fight!
