If Floyd fought Bradley, Everyone Would Be

I do agree, however because of the difference in ability between Mayweather and Pacquiao comapred to Cotto and Bradley is larger, Pacquiao Bradley is more debatable who is going to win.

 

if pac fought cotto again, you *****s would be up in arms saying pacquiao is fighting a shot cotto.

but since floyd is fighting him next, cotto is repaired goods and in the best shape of his life according to the *****s.

 

Mayweather is a nightmare matchup for Bradley.

Bradley actually has the skills to take away a lot of Pac's advantages so it will be a competitive fight, I'm actually leaning towards Bradley in a close one.

Pac would give Mayweather a ton more trouble than Bradley.

Styles make fights.

 

Yeah that's true.

If Bradley beats Pacquiao, he'll want to fight Floyd and rightly should. Shame Arum wont make it happen though.

 

Arum will die before one of his fighters gets in the ring with Floyd.

 

I disagree...I like Floyd's choice of Cotto as an opponent and this choice surprised me. We know Floyd is running from the Pacman, and I know he ducked Cotto before, so I figured those would be the last guys he would choose to fight. Well...Floyd figured out to get out of the Pacquiao fight, so I figured he was going to fight a Golden Boy sacrificial lamb like Garcia or Alvarez in order to make the Cinco de Mayo date and stay out of jail. But...I guess that Golden Boy wasn't going to give Floyd a lamb, or the Nevada Boxing Commission made him pick a good opponent in order to get is license. So...Floyd chose Miguel Cotto - and I think this was a big mistake on Floyd's part if he wants to remain undefeated.

 

It doesn't matter who Manny and FLoyd fight. . . There will always be a good percentage of haters/hardcore fans of the other who will downplay their opponent. . . I personally think Bradley is a better choice than Cotto, because he's undefeated, has an awkward style, has speed, defense, and is on most people's pound for pound list.

Also, it doesn't help Floyd's case that he is the one who made up this ridiculous concept of "leftovers". . . I don't buy into it, but Floyd, and his momos sure did.

You can go on, and on all day about "well, now Cotto is at 154...", and "Cotto has a different trainer. . " and "he is stronger mentally after avenging Margarito. . " THen you can go on, and on about how Bradley is fast, defensive, undefeated, primed, hungry, etc. . It just is what it is. . . Cotto is no better, and probably no worse now than he is when he fought Pac. . And Bradley is unproven on the world level, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. . . It means we don't know. . . His style, speed, awkwardness, and physical strength (not punching power) seem to indicate he would be difficult for anybody to deal with.

 

also bradley is levels above ortiz. if floyd fans bought into the hype of ortiz as a young hungry lion, bradley is more deserving of the tag, young, hungry, confident and undefeated ninja turtle.

 

I agree, good post :good

 

Very short sighted view.

Ortiz had a better chance against Floyd than Bradley would have but that doesn't mean that Bradley wouldn't be able to beat Ortiz.

Ortiz is a big, busy, hard hitting southpaw. The thought of Ortiz catching and overwhelming Floyd was not out of the realm of possibility.

Floyd's too long and accurate for the much smaller, lighter hitting and less busy Bradley.
