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

[Mike D]

I think this all smoke and mirror coming from Timothy Bradley. If those two were to ever meet in a professional prize ring, then Bradley would be easily stopped because he lacks punching power to back Miguel up and gets hit way too often.

Additionally as we all know Miguel Cotto is a very solid puncher with power and at his best he is a hunter; Who likes to walk his opponents down and back them up while breaking then down to the body.

Easily stopped? Easily? You can't be serious.

And for the record if that fight ever materializes -- I'd be pulling for Cotto. I'm a Cotto fan. Not a Bradley fan. But nobody is "easily stopping" Tim Bradley.

Timmy lacks the pop to be a threat at MW.

I'd like to see him fight Porter, Thurman, Broner maybe Khan.

There is plenty of good WW match-ups out there.

We will probably end up with Bradley / Rios...

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Bradley has wins over Vazquez, Witter, Holt, Peterson, Alexander, Marquez, and Provodnikov. Other than Provodnikov, all those wins were very clear.

Now tell me who Paulie's best wins are.

Lmao at your definition of "elite" fighter. the only elite fighter on the list is Marquez and he's on the dark side of 30, in a match up that was horrible for Marquez stylistically. Click the links and look at the fights. These two careers are comparable, and as I said, Bradley would arguably loose to everyone Paulie has lost too. Cotto beats Bradley, prime Hatton arguably beats Bradley, Amir Khan arguably beats Bradley, Juan Diaz arguably beats Bradley, Broner arguably beats Bradley. If Bradley fought these names he would have more losses on his list. Like Bradley Paulie fought the tops in his division at the time.

Nice avoidance of the question. And you don't know **** about boxing.

Bradley would lose to Cotto and that's the only guarantee on that list. He'd probably lose to Khan because he ducked the **** out of him, and when you duck a guy that hard it's because losing is it a real possibility in your mind. Bradley does not lose to Broner, what drugs are you on? Hatton doesn't beat Bradley either, Bradley is not a great boxer contrary to what some people think but Hatton isn't even near HoF potential, overrated as hell.

Jesus Christ, Cotto fans are hilarious. To think Cotto would easily stop Bradley is hilarious. Bradley is on the pound for pound list right now. These Cotto fans think their boy is an unstoppable machine. Cotto hasn't proven **** in his 3 last fights right now IMO. And before that he lost to Floyd and beat a punching bag in Margarito. At the present moment, Bradley would be favored I believe if they were to meet a JMW. Bradleys win against Marquez was as impressive as it gets, showing great technical boxing skill against another great technical boxer in Marquez. His 2 losses were decisions to Pac, understandable.

Bradley has some good wins under his belt, Alexander, Peterson, Ruslan (He got into a war for no reason trying to win fans I believe, coulda boxed him easily to a decision win), Marquez, Abregu....

Bradley vs Cotto will depend alot on the weight. Bradley should be favored....

I like Cotto and Bradley and would like to see them fight. But there are a few other fights I would rather see Cotto take over this one. I think Tim is better than he gets credit for but he probably isn't going to get a top-level opponent in the ring with him in the near future unfortunately.

[GoldenGloveLove]

F*** Arum.

[DLee22]

Easier said than Done Tim. One thing that negates Speed is Timing and Cotto has great Timing. Especially his Stiff Jab. Not only that, but Cotto is The Naturally Bigger man and i think has more experince against Top Notch Competition. Cotto beats Bradley at 154 pretty handily IMO.

[kombayn]

Please no, Cotto would win this fight against Bradley. I think Tim should be focused on fighting Kell Brook along with rematches against Marquez & Provodnikov. He could also face the Rios/Alavrado winner but he needs to get past Chaves first.
