    I don't want to see him at 154 but if he were to go this would be the logical fight for him as opposed to Cotto who will apply pressure and wear him down.
    absolutely no way is he one of the 3 best counter punchers in the sport.

    He's not a good counter puncher at all.

      what a ****** ass comparison, yes, if rigo somehow showed he was able to hang at welterweight with some big win(s), somehow, even though it's inconcievable being 5'4 and putting on enough muscle plus keeping his style

      even if you think bradley was in close fights with provodnikov and marquez(who was the favourite), canelo hadn't done anything but beat trout in a fight alot of people felt was close or he lost

      bradley seasoned, canelo inexperienced

      floyd beating pacquiao would be better than floyd beating canelo, despite the weight difference

        i'd have to go with pac over bradley, fo sho.

        i just think that when it comes to bradley and canelo, bradley is ahead in terms of boxing upside.

          In your dreams im sure he was. I read Ring Magazine about the time Floyd fought Canelo and Canelo was in the 20's, which is about right.

          You only have to look at his resume prior to fighting Floyd. Was considered untested and Trout was his first called major bout. He barely won and on that basis, you and everyone knows hes not p4p no9, don't even bother mentioning anything else as its irrelevant.

          Floyd dug his own grave, as people said he better not fight him at a CW, and he goes ahead and does it. So the whole world knows Bradley is a better win for Pac and its not close.

                Erm, no.

                In reality he was #9 P4P (According to The Ring Magazine)

                  But further up you used the same P4P list to support your argument for Bradley "he was P4P #3"

                  Can't have it both ways.

                  Why is "he was in the P4P list" and other rankings always citied for other fighters wins but when it's Mayweather there's always an excuse?

                    Canelo should retire after the Floyd fight. I can't see much of a career after that exposure. He peaked as the king of journeymen. I say ride off into the sunset and accept it.

                      Make sure it's not a disputed, controversial win or against someone who was significantly over the hill

                      I'll wait...
