Comments Thread For: Bradley Prefers Cotto Showdown Over Pacquiao III

[bigdunny1]

Bradley because of politics has limited options for a big fight. That's why you hear arum talking fighting canelo who will kill him and pac fight which nobody thinks he won the first 2 fights and he likely will lose a 3rd. Bradley is one of the best fighters at 147 but can't get no fights because haymon has the other top fighters at 147. Ali with golden boy and is his mandatory and they ducking him because that's a risky fight with little reward. Brook the other non haymon fighter dont want to fight him. Cotto fight ain't likely because there is real bad blood between cotto and arum after he left them to go to roc nation. Arum don't want out help roc nation out after they stole cotto away.

If anything if cotto wants that fight they will wait for his 3 fight roc deal to expire first and then try to make the fight the second half of 2016 without roc nation involved. Bradley needs to pray Manny gives him the fight because he has nobody for his next fight.

good **** Bradley cotto v.s Bradley is a great fight both around the same size and Bradley comes to fight lets see if the fat **** arum will do it

[bigdunny1]

Do people remember all the things arum said about cotto after roc nation stole him away? Do people remember when roc nation was trying to get cotto a fight early last year how arum was trying to steal those opponents to block those fights? Bradley and other top rank guys were rumored to fight everyone cotto wanted. Then when cotto moved on and fought geale all those fights arum was threatening to make went away. But people think arum will make a fight and let cotto and roc nation beat one of his top fighters? I'd love to see this fight but no way I see arum making it too much bad blood.

I'd rather see Bradley/Cotto, but I'm biased being a Cotto fan. Also, I'm a hypocrite because I've always been against Bradley fighting Canelo because the weight disparity would be off the charts, not to mention Tim has never fought north of 147, so Tim's chances against Canelo have never seemed good in the slightest. Cotto, on the other hand, is much more battle worn, older, and doesn't rehydrate as much as Canelo. This gives Bradley better chances but it's tremendously gutsy nonetheless considering that--again--HE HAS NEVER FOUGHT NORTH OF 147. He also doesn't have the discipline to stick to boxing for 12 rounds, and he tends to exchange despite not having KO power. Miguel's got a cannon of a jab, heavier, experienced, and has power to boot. I don't think Arum is rushing to put Tim in a fight where the odds would be stacked against him and he could get really beat up. I homestly think Pacquiao 3 would be less dangerous, but I'm not that interested in seeing it.

Miguel fighting Tim would mean my two favorite fighters getting it on, but I would not be upset if Tim trumps Cotto in the Garden.

There you have it, folks, Bradley is not interested in Pac. Pac needs to fight Crawford.

Bradley is putting the pressure on Manny. He is calling his bluff, Manny was going to select the opponent that would give him the least resistance, the fans, the media, and now Bradley are not forcing him to do that. Manny and Bob can line up 3 "contenders" all they want. Thats a dog and pony show, it was always going to be Bradley.

Now, Manny may actually have to fight a serious opponent, and we all know he doesn't want to do that.

Manny denying his decision is the key, Bradley truly is the peoples champion, he realizes nobody wants to see that fight, and he is willing to take less money to give the fans a new experience.

Manny beat him twice anyways.

If Cotto wins and then what?

[Chrismart]

It would be a good fight. Also a good swan song for Cotto if that's on his agenda.

[SAN D13GO VILLAN]

Thank you Bradley...... Nobody wants this fight not even Bradley!!! Pacquiao vs Crawford & Bradley vs Cotto please.

[ShoulderRoll]

Bradley vs Cotto would be a great fight. It makes sense for both guys.

The only one getting in the way of it is Bob Arum, he's too busy trying to force a a third Pac-Bradley in-house fight on us. A fight that seemingly no one wants to see.

When did Brook become a Haymon fighter? Anyway I blame Bradley (or Mrs. Bradley) for his own situation. He knew before he re-signed with TR, that Haymon had the best stable of fighters @ 147, especially Mayweather. His choice of getting a re-match with Pacquiao instead of a fight with Floyd says it all! He did NOT want to fight the best!
