    This ^^^ Not to mention, he's too small!

    Cotto vs Bradley @ 154 would be an absolute joke!

      He'd beat K9 for the IBF strap that's for sure.

      That doesn't mean much though.

        He could "cherry pick" at 154 and do well. But seeing as that's not necessarily his style he would probably take an "L" or two in some barnburner losses. **** it.

        I do think he beats cotto at 154 though and have always wanted to see this fight. Just not for the MW strap. I pictured Cotto loosing to Canelo then moving back down to 154 and challenging Bradley in his comeback. That to me, makes sense.

          But like tenma, I have worries
          The same Austin Trout that easily outboxed Miguel Cotto, and got robbed in a fight against Canelo Alvarez? Or atlest some had Trout winning?

          I'm a huge Bradley fan, but dude gets OUTBOXED easily by Trout.

          Trout much longer, taller, southpaw, better footwork, and sadly to say for the first time "more power".

          Bradley loses to every at 154 almost.

          Lara
          Trout
          Angulo
          Canelo
          Mayweather
          Cotto

          The only person he might be able to beat is K9 and Carlos Molina.

            No I gotta disagree

            Lara runs from one side of the ring to the other

            When I think pure boxer I think Pernell Whitaker, Floyd mayweather, making your opponent miss and countering

            Lara didn't do that vs Canelo.

            He ran around the ring throwing lead straight lefts. In all fairness he did land a counter right hook on occasion and then spin out ...before he picked another side of the ring to run to

            Timmys performance against Marquez was beautiful. A beautiful boxing display.

                No he won't be. He doesn't have the punching power or the size to compensate for that.

                      I get your point, Trout has not been looking like the Trout of the past, but Bradley has also looked vulnerable his last few fights.

                      Disputed win against Pacquiao in the first fight.
                      Brutal brawl with Ruslan (could have went either way)
                      Great win against Marquez
                      Loss to Pacquiao
                      A good tough fight with Chavez, but got a draw

                      What stops Austin Trout is power, and that's one thing Bradley does not have.

                      He will eat Trouts left jabs all night long.
                      Plus the extra weight, might not do him any favors.
