    Ben Thompson is a very good friend of Amir Khan, and mentions a possible rematch with Maidana. Great fight if it happens, however, extremely risky for both guys.

    Could potentially be a career ending fight for either guy.

        I don't know the point in making a catch-weight for this fight.

        Cotto came in at 155 last time around. He's not a full middleweight. not in this world.

        Why not just treat boxing with some respect, ditch the catchweight and both would come in at 155 roughly anyway.

          just keep the lineal middleweight title out of this.
          The lineal championship can't be kept out of any Cotto fight.

          The sad reality is that when Cotto loses the lineage, he's most likely going to lose it to another bloated welterweight who'll be similarly unwilling to fight a real middleweight.

          Canelo beating Cotto was the best hope for restoring the legitimacy of the lineage, but with that fight collapsing fuck knows where it's going to go next. By this time next year Chris Algieri could have it.

            That's kinda what they're doing. I mean there has to be a weight limit so they make it 155. Anyway, I don't love this fight for Cotto but I'm pretty sure I'll be intrigued by the time June rolls around. I'd prefer the Quinn-Lee winner but I can't begrudge Cotto for trying to stock up on paydays on his way out the door.

              Assuming he even beats Andy Lee, Quillin will never fight Golovkin.

                Who said Bradley walks around at 180??? So wrong...I remember an interview on HBO where his trainer said Bradley rarely is overweight even between fights...and he should drop back down to 140 and maybe compensate for his lack of power against some of those guys..

                  Furthermore, lets say the fight happens and Bradley somehow wins...could you see a future fight between Bradley and GGG??? He would be destroyed...this is a bad deal all around..

                    haha this is like GGG fighting Marquez lol. Miguel Toto is the most PATHETIC middleweight champion on the planet lol. He's worst than that other coward Kid tootsie roll Peter Quillin. I hope someone throws a cup of cold piss on that dude in one of his food court pressers.

                      I don't think it'd make it any less pathetic.

                      Cotto vs Bradley would be a good fight if it was at WW , at MW it makes no sense, with or without catchweight.

                      What's next if Bradley wins?. Bradley - Pac III for the lineal MW title? lol
