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.Comment

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.Comment

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!Comment

Should be an evenly matched, very meaningless, yet entertaining event.But you gotta remember the amateurs are same-day weigh-ins, so fighters fight around their natural weight, or a few pounds over it.

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.Comment
