    To be honest, I don't think Bradley should fight at WW. Unless it becomes perfectly legal to use your head...

    If Tiny Tim couldn't stop Alexander, he has no chance of stopping Cotto.

    Plus Cotto has Steward in his corner, better experience in opposition and is a naturally bigger guy.

    No point talking about it because when khan takes him to pieces he will disappear with the sand of time as another average fighter!!! And if he did fight cotto it would not last ) rounds!!!! Cotto by brutal ko

    Bradley's style is made for Cotto.
    He'll walk his small ass down all night

    OK...and if Bradley beats Khan (or even just gives him a really tough fight), will it still mean he is an average fighter? Or will it mean Khan is average too? Or will it mean you don't know ****? :think

    Cotto UD.

    I don't see Bradley as having the power or speed to trouble Cotto at 147lbs. I could see Cotto putting on a great performance in this bout...topping his Mosley performance aswell.

    Cotto won't come back to 147 but I'll play the game anyway.

    If Cotto did come back down in weight he would be weight drained. Bradley would be fresh and healthy. Cotto would land some good shots and maybe even put Bradley down, but I got my man Desert Storm by UD/SD/MD.

    I consider Bradley more than an average fighter and good boxer. I just don't see Cotto respecting his power or his strength. I see Cotto walking him down all fight long and touching him on the ropes.

    I think Cotto is too good for Bradley right now. Bradley has a lot of improving to do but hes still fairly fresh on the scene and hes smart, he can do a lot of improving. Id def like to see Bradley shorten up his punches a bit.... and become a little bit cagier and I think he will, imo Bradley is going to improve as a fighter, but as of right now, I think Cotto is too much. Id watch though, wouldnt be a bad fight at all.
