Is Anyone Else Somewhat Intrigued by Bradley vs Canelo?

[Larry the boss]

No Canelo wrecks him

[-PBP-]

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.

I assume the discussions will be for a fight at 154. I wasn't even thinking of Bradley jumping to MW.

Yeah true it could happen but I still think Canelo wouldn't budge on that 1 pound, he really struggles to make weight I'm assuming however If this fight is made Bradley definitely has a chance of beating him but so long as he doesn't try to beat Canelo at his own game.

I'm very intrigued in terms of the stylistic matchup. But, ultimately, Canelo is too big. Big to the point he might seriously hurt him.

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.

Idk that Arum is making the call doe. Think this is GBP's & more specifically Canelo's call to make.

I tend to believe Canelo will fight GGG next as long as its at a catchweight (maybe 155, maybe 157, idk, but 160 seems out I'd agree 100% with you on that) & I suspect this will ultimately be a situation where the juice is worth the squeeze for GGG so him & his people will accept whatever catchweight they haggle to get even if it is 155 when its all said & done.

As far as opponents go if Canelo does pass on GGG for whatever reason I'd love to disagree with you that Rios/Bradley winner isn't a viable opponent if I could, but with things lined up as they are I'd be hard pressed to name a more notable opponent than Rios or Bradley. I would suggest Bradley is a more viable opponent than Rios & if Rios pulls off the upset I suspect its more likely Canelo would pass on him & take on a lesser known, but more competitive looking fight.

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.

I love the kid reference. If you can see the set of skills Bradley brings to the table, well, Can't help!

Basco, I do see the skills he brings. I see nothing spectacular besides his will and competitive streak. He is a good fighter in all aspects, but he is not a slickster, a huge puncher or a defensive genius. He is tough, and determined. I think Canelo really hurts him. He was hurt multiple times with Provodnikov. He was hurt badly with Vargas. Pac had him stung to the point where he really didn't try to attack. This guy has taken alot of punches and did you see the punches Kirkland was taking. If Bradley gets hit like that he won't beat the count. Kirkland is big too, but he is a natural 154 pounder. Bradley is a jr. welterweight swoll up on weights. Yeah i know he used to fight at alot higher weight in the amateurs, but those are 3 round fights. You see alot of guys train harder and get into better shape for the pro game. If Bradley comes in flailing away with pitty pat punches , he will get countered and get hurt. If he tries to box he will stay away for awhile , but once Canelo gets close it is over. I actually think Rios beats Timmeh.

If Rios beats Tim, I totally agree with you that Canelo wrecks him!

Bradley vs Canelo should be illegal. What's more these guys have awesome matchups within their respective divisions that they should be making.

I'm demanding that if Alvarez/Cotto winner won't fight Golovkin, they instead fight Julian Williams. J-Rock/Canelo would be an awesome fight to make.

Meantime let Bradley fight Ali/Matthysse/Postol/Crawford/Khan/Garcia/Porter/Thurman.

No Bradley too small for Canelo. Canelo is a middleweight masquerading as quasi Jr middle. The size disparity would be telling.
