    I agree 100%. I've read where Bradley said he would go up for Cotto. Bradley used to fight 152 in the amateurs!

      Anybody remember when Cotto said "he had three more fights" sometimes around/after the Pac fight?

      I hope Cotto fights Bradley, and Marquez, and then retires.

        But you gotta remember the amateurs are same-day weigh-ins, so fighters fight around their natural weight, or a few pounds over it.

        In today's boxing, just about every single boxer dehydrates about 11-13 pounds to make weight. Sometimes more, and in a few cases, less.

        Bradley, in shape, without depleting his glycogen deposits, and water weight, prolly is about 155ish, cause he's so short.

        I think against normal 154 pounders, he'd be at a marked disadvantage, but against Cotto, who is about the same natural size as Bradley, he'd be fine.

        I actually pick Bradley to beat Cotto.

          I don't think the problem is Roc Nation! I think team Cotto is looking for a easy win with a decent name to help with ppv buys! The problem is, it's going to be hard to find an opponent who can fit the bill. Its easy to find a easy win, but that specific opponent want have the name or help with ppv buys. Cotto needs to leave the boxing game completely!

            I used to like cotto, but he turned into a diva and a cry baby. He also ran from GGG just like conyellow did. Fighters like cotto are whats wrong with boxing.

              Should be an evenly matched, very meaningless, yet entertaining event.

                Yup. And at this point in both their careers, why not? They've already proven themselves as world class, and HOF'ers, so it'd be cool to see them fight.

                I see a lot of two-way exchanges, and like you said, very exciting and evenly matched.
