cottos plan b is bradley

I really dont see how Tim would carry the weight

 

Spinks had no buisiness being in there with Mike Tyson too, but he was the lineal champ at the time, while Tyson was the undisputed champion. It happened and ended like it should.

This has to happen too. Golovkin deserves the lineal championship.

 

I don't think anyone doubts it, but there are people who can keep claiming they doubt it and also the historical significance of it all.

Just look at the Wlad situation for instance. Nobody that seriously follows boxing didn't have him as the #1 HW out there early 2008 when he had beaten Ibri and his brother had been retired for more as 3 years by then.
But he didn't become lineal (and the real champ) until beating Chag mid 2009 or according to some even as late as the Pov fight late 2013!!!
So in their eyes he's just recently crowned as The Champ and is dangeling all the way down on the historical champions lists because of that.
The worst of the bunch (I saw one post even today) don't even see him as the real champ because he doesn't hold the paper WBC belt also.

Of course this is only due to them hating his guts, but I can see this happen all over again with Golovkin as Cotto ducks him.
His records (if he breaks them) would be called void because he never was the 'real' champion at the time the records were broken and he only fought bums (that everyone else ran for the hills would be forgotten)

 

At a reasonable weight I like this fight, but I can't see Cotto going below 154 and Bradley going above 147 and being effective.

 

Bradley beat abregu at 154

 

Bradley's got skills but he can't bust a g****

:deal agreed

 

:good:good

 

I think there are better fights out there for Bradley- ones that won't give him brain damage. Cotto needs to fight GGG. If belts don't matter then give them to people that fight 4 times a year. That's why I love GGG, he's a fans' fighter. And I hope he does a lot of housecleaning this year in that division.
