Miguel Cotto, Timothy Bradley, and Reasonable Chances
by Cliff Rold - It’s not what boxing fans say they demand. Combined, two fights instead of “The One” will probably do well over two million buys between May and June, proving the supply curve is still stronger than demand. The stars have not aligned (again). They haven’t gone soft either. On May 5, WBA Jr. Middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30 KO) will get what is estimated to be a career high pay in accepting the challenge of lineal World Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO). While it isn’t 100% final as yet, let’s pretend it’s close enough for assumption. Little more than a month later, on June 9 to be exact, the best Jr. Welterweight in the world, Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO) should be moving up a class to challenge WBO Welterweight titlist Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO). Some fans, thirsty to drink from only one cup, will disagree about the quality of these encounters. Boxing fans have a tendency towards the negative in general. At least on paper, what critics exist stand wrong in turning down their nose at Cotto-Mayweather or Pacquiao-Bradley. Neither Cotto nor Bradley is favored to win. No one else from 154 lbs. on down likely would be. Such is the strength of talent and resume both Mayweather and Pacquiao present. That doesn’t make either a bad match. Yes, Mayweather and Pacquiao will probably win. There is a reasonable chance either or both will fail to do so. Isn’t that what matters? When watching the progress of two fighters already deemed great by most, the desire to see them tested, challenged, to have the potential for defeat, is the essence of competition.
