    Alvarez would beat Cotto. He's too big, too strong and he's a young, undefeated fighter...Cotto could beat Bradley

    Great point. Now if you will just let GBP know this.

    Wouldn't have said this last year but it's become a pick em fight.

    I can't ignore Canelo's improvements.

    Though I still have vivid recollections of Cotto's brother staggering Canelo with a left hook and can't help but to wonder what would happen if Miguel lands that punch.

    Well let's see how Saul looks and maybe he'll call out Cotto for December. He said he was ready for anyone :yep

    I'm still not 100% sold on Canelo. He's easy to get excited about but he's nothing more than a talented but unproven prospect. Too many people act as if he's "there" already, which he isn't. Cotto is "there" and has been for a while. I think Cotto would stop him late.

    As for Bradley, it would have to take place at 154. I don't see Cotto ever going back to 147. And at 154 it's no contest. Cotto TKO early.

    both fights are 50/50 but canelo can hurt cotto. so i would go for braldey and try to stop him if he wanted any credit.

    He wouldn't trade, but he would pot shot him and cout maneuver him, probably play the counter game with him as well. It wouldn't be easy, but I would see a 8 - 4 Bradley win.

    I hope it's Alvarez. Alvarez needs to win first though.

    it would be a big deal for GBP. canelo won't mind but his promoters do. they want him to be the next floyd cash cow that will market that "0". they could have fed canelo to floyd before but they didn't.

    When will canelo ever be ready? I say if he wants to fight floyd then yes he should fight cotto in which it be a huge statement if he can beat cotto better then mayweather. And then we will see if hes ready.

    Both good fights...
    Bradley might be a safer fight for Cotto as a "comeback fight".
    (Safer as in Timmy ain't a big puncher and at 154lbs, advantage Miguel)

    Alvarez on the other hand would bully Miguel.
