Is Anyone Else Somewhat Intrigued by Bradley vs Canelo?

[JStill Unbiased]

I hate to do this, but remember when people were comparing Manny and Floyd's resume? I remeber posting in one of those "Manny's comp is better than Floyd's" thread, and stated that Tim Bradley couldn't beat Canelo or Maidana, people called me crazy. It was the truth then, it's the truth now.

Even with Bradley's lack of power, it's a high risk vs low reward fight for Canelo.

This would be nowhere near a high risk fight for Canelo.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Not at all.

I don't even think Bradley is big enough to be a legit top guy at 147 (I think he loses to Pac, Brook, Thurman and a couple of others). I also think his boxing ability is heavily over-rated.

Going up to 154 to fight the biggest (and best) guy in the division would be a terrible decision. Canelo would physically manhandle him and hurt him.

[bojangles1987]

Not really. Bradley's a small guy and is too susceptible to exchanges, where he would get shredded. I can't imagine this fight being anything other than a really depressing beatdown by a much bigger and more physically talented fighter.

This tread needs a bump. Seems like this is the direction they're going if Cotto plays his part and doesn't rewrite some ****.

Bradley wasn't wide and sloppy tonight so that would help him but I still see Canelo as being too big and too good. Canelo is not the highest work rate guy but he is a whole lot fresher than Rios so that would really test Bradley in terms of doing it the new way instead of falling back into his old sloppy ways.

It sucks that Bradley will likely be forced into something like that instead of being able to really stay at 147 and mix it up with any of the top guys there because those would really be some nice fights.

Awful idea. Bradley is 3 inches shorter and will be outweighed by 15-20 lbs.

Ginger needs to stop picking on people who are smaller than him.

If he fights 2x per year he can fight Ali and Brook next year

That would be a solid year, although I don't exactly consider Ali a top guy for a fighter like Bradley yet.
