    Bradlsy, maybe, former 147 lb champ. But Rios is a former lightwt, who isn't even big enough for 154. BrAdler probably isn't much smaller than Cotto

Fight kell brook or Shaw porter who just got KO'd by kell brook, or Keith Thurman who has yet to even headline an ShowTime card due to facing all bums, and only make maybe 2 million or fight Miguel cotto on ppv and make around 6-7 mill. What would you do? Same with cotto. Hes obviously not interested in canelo, sees it as too much of a risk and the only other guy available to give him a ppv fight is Bradley and possibly khan. If I were cotto id pick one of those two because its the most money. Of course canelo should be first choice but he's being a bish so Bradley or khan would both be great fights, and Rios would also be an action packed fight.
        You said he's beaten everyone at 147 which is pretty far from the truth. I wouldn't fault him for taking on Cotto if given the opportunity, but to think he's somehow cleared out 147 is delusional at best.

          People won't buy this as a middleweight title fight. I'd expect it to do about 250k tops.

            He should just vacate and fight Bradley at 154 or a catchweight.

            That's a good fight just not a MW title fight.

                I'm sure he'd choose rios. Its a more winable fight. Bradley actually would have a chance to outbox cotto

                  Rios and Bradley are just such a let down compared to what could have been. Rios especially, that fight should never happen. I'd rather see Cotto in there with Garcia or Khan.

                    Bradley/Cotto p4p is a good fight, a great fight a few years ago, but Cotto being the Middleweight Champ should fight someone closer to that class.

                    They are pretty close in weight. Both are top 10 140-147 of the past 10 years. I like the fight. Like both fighters so I'd rather not see it.

                      i just wanna see cotto fight, hes looked really good under roach and i want to see him back in the ring asap!!

                      bummed out about him not fighting canelo but i like bradley and that should be a good fight. bradley is a thick mudda****er and should have no problem with 154 or even higher. i think the higher weight will prevent injuries to tm too.
