    Cotto is a good fighter but he has been exposed on many levels already. No one really thinks he has anything to offer Mayweather in terms of competition. Cotto is simply a marketable fighter, nothing more nothing less.

    Bradley has proven he can clearly outclass B level fighters. We do not know how he can deal with A level elite fighters.
    That element of the unknown makes Pac vs Bradley a better fight.

    I like Mayweather vs Cotto at 154 more. Bradley is unproven at Welterweight to be a good enough fight.

    Pacquiao vs Bradley would most likely be the more exciting fight, but I would rather see Floyd vs Cotto.

    I do respect everyone's opinion.
    However, I am having a hard time seeing why Floyd Cotto is getting more votes.
    If we were voting on PPV numbers, clearly Floyd vs Cotto has the upper hand.
    However, Bradley has never really shown a vulnerability in any of his fights.

    Cotto, on the other hand, had shown vulnerability with many of his B Level opponents way before he lost.

    both aren't bad fights, but id say bradley could give pac more problems then cotto could give may.

    + Bradley already studied Pacquiao,let's not forget that he got exposed by a 38 year old Lightweight and looked bad against a 39 year old Mosley,Pacquiao cant beat Bradley if the judges are not paid.

    Mayweather-Cotto is a decent fight, several years too late, and I'd put Mayweather down as a comfortable favorite. I think Cotto still has something left and will hold his own for most of the fight. Mayweather will be in control by the end of the fight and win 8-9 rounds in a semi-entertaining fight.

    Pacquaio-Bradley is a very good fight and I personally see that as close to a 50/50 fight with a very slight edge going to Pac. I think Pac is starting to decline and Bradley is a good, seasoned, fighter in his prime. Bradley would be getting to Pac at a good time and would make it a close and entertaining fight.

    I'm not sure these are the two fights that will play out but they are clearly on the short list. Pac-Bradley is the better fight but the whole Mayweather-Pacquaio situation has become sad.

    floyd vs cotto is technical, pac vs bradley is a more damaging fight. in terms of sheer action, pacquiao vs bradley. in my opinion mayweather pac isnt happening, i'd prefer mayweather-canelo and pacquiao-marquez IV

    Mayweather Vs. Cotto > Pacquiao Vs. Bradley
    (But I like both fights)

    Would rather watch JMM Vs. Bradley than both tho... Just sayin'

    I think Pac beats Bradley and eventually stops him in the mid to late rounds.
    JMM's ring IQ, counter-punching ability and combinations are at the all time great level.

    Bradley seems like a Come forward offensive minded fighter. He is tailor made for Pac. In spite of this, I dont think I am contradicting myself by saying Pac Bradley is the better fight. Bradley has found a way to decisively beat all his opponents. I would love to see what he might possibly do against Pac.

    Ohh I am sorry, let me correct myself:

    Cotto is the greatest, He could beat Mayweather with both hands tied to his feet.

    Are you happy now?:patsch
