Is Anyone Else Somewhat Intrigued by Bradley vs Canelo?

[Eastcoast]

Jesse Vargas rocked Tim, no way this fight should be allowed to happen. The same goes for Alvarez/Rios if Brandon wins. If Canelo wants to stay at 155 after he beats Cotto, he should fight J-Rock!!

I like Bradley.

But I don't think it's a good idea to fight Canelo. Size Difference being the negating factor. Heck let's face it. Canelo is still a growing boy. Bradley needs to stay in the WW area of divisions.

Terrible thread

How, Bradley is not a smooth boxer . He is too muscled up and has a weak chin too.

How? Bradley speed! His ability to go in and out while scoring. His defense is pretty good when he decides to box! He gets caught when he disregards boxing and decide to trade. If he can concentrate and follow instructions on out-pointing Canelo, he could potentially win this fight. Bradley has a weak chin now? Too muscled up as in no mobile? You need to to some homework!

i know i am bro. I think some people would not admit it because they want to see canelo vs ggg which i totally understand. But as far as canelo vs bradley or even cotto vs bradley i would like to see it. I think bradley would be able to put on enough good weight to make the size difference not to big of a deal. They could fight at 154. I would like to see how bradley fares against rios but if he looks good i mean sure why not make canelo or cotto vs bradley. I think the potential matchups are intriguing honestly. I mean why shouldnt bradley get a chance hes a throw back fighter for some reason he dont have a big fan base which boggles my mind with how tough and how much heart he has and how entertaining his fights are.

We got 1!!!!

But seriously Bradley already expressed plans to move up so he will be campaigning in that division at some point. If Canelo was a pressure fighter that imposed his size advantage I can see how Bradley might have issues but he has shown in the past that he is economical and likes to box and counter punch. Bradley walks around over 175 regardless and gets huge in between fights.

Of course it's not #1 on my list but if it gets announced I definitely will be curious.

But at the same time, Bradley has looked bad recently and this fight Saturday is no given since he has mental lapses and reverts back to hold habits.

Waiting for the punchline...

Bradley gets Lopez'd. Terrible fight.

You're asking Bradley to move up two weight divisions?
I would be interested if it was at 154lbs but he shouldn't have to move from 147lbs to the 154lbs division all the way to the 155lbs division, that ****s unfair!
Catchweight of 154lbs imo.

If the fight was in a vacuum I'd be a lil intrigued, while smaller & feather fisted I think Bradley is super busy in the ring & while bigger & with respectable power I think Canelo is too patient in the ring & somewhere in between of that I see this fight as potentially an interesting battle.

The biggest problem doe is the landscape says if Canelo beats Cotto going in Bradley's direction instead of GGG's is gonna look HORRIBLE. If Canelo loses to Cotto I think this is an alright fight to make if Bradley agrees to the weight jump.

Realistically I don't see Canelo fighting GGG next? Going from Cotto and immediately to GGG would be one of the hardest back to back run of opponents I've seen in a very long time.

I fully expect him to fight the Bradley/Rios winner. One because Arum already said it was happening, two because the entire 154 division is flooded with Haymon fighters and Andrade who will price himself out, and three because he already said he's not moving up to 160.

I need to do howework. Really ? Get a clue , scrub. Bradley isn't going to do anything with Canelo. Just because he bulked up lifting heavy weights doesn't mean he is a big guy. He Can't punch. Period,. He got concussed by Provodnikov . We all know Canelo punches harder than Provodnikov. He got hurt badly by Vargas for crying out loud. Bradley isnt that fast either. He is fast at running in a flailing punches. He deosn't fight smart either . He always reverts to a firefight when challenged. Maybe you need to learn about boxing kid.
