Bradley said that he fought @ 152 in the amateurs... and that lots of those guys were 185, 190 pounds dropping down to fight @ 152.
Interestingly enough I never pondered such a match up....my knee jerk reaction has cotto stopping Bradley down the stretch of a back and battle but Tim could very well pull off a points win if he stays smart opts out of battle on the inside. Even though Tim has exceptionally fast hand he dosent pack the fire power to keep cotto at bay and he tends to go to war because he's a boxer puncher without a high iq in counter punching.
I think Bradley would take the fight off his work rate and movement, cotto is the aging fighter not sure he could get the decision if Pac couldn't.
Bradley wont be able to keep Cotto off him he doesnt have the power to inflict the damage manny do and he's nowere near the defensive fightwe Floyd is Cotto wins an ugly ud over Bradley
...and Bradley would move back down to 147 immediately after, while being the recipient of a devastating beating.
cotto would lose be cut to death by headbutts haha jking i like bradley he lacks power at 147, he'll be a fly at 154.
Cotto might not be up to the level as Manny and Floyd, but fighters of that caliber are few and far between. Having said that, the level difference between Cotto and Tim far surpasses the difference between Cotto and the 2 P4P #1 contenders. Cotto walks through Tim's feather fisted assault and wears him down in the middle rounds. Bradley's twig-like legs will buckle, his ankles would give out, and he'll fade away into obscurity.
yup, that left hook would shoot into timmys anus, and cotto would use him like a ventrilloquist dummy
