    I think this would be a pretty good fight right now. Canelo was simply too big for Cotto. Timbo is a very good match for Cotto all around. It's a big money fight as well so it serves them both. I imagine they'd be both willing to take this fight.

    How would you see this one go?

    I think it's too close however Bradley is in his prime and Cotto is on the decline. Thus the odds are in Bradley's favor if Cotto cannot keep father time in check.

    I don't think they are too far apart in the "past prime" front. They are both "somewhat" past prime, about the same height, both can make 147 comfortably, both very skilled. I think this is a superb match up at this point.

    It's certainly much better than a proposed Canelo vs Bradley fight. Canelo will outsize Bradley even more than he did Cotto, and beat him with his bulk and not skill. Cotto vs Bradley however is very even on every department. A pure clash of skills.

    Bradley is someone Cotto would have struggled with during prime. Bradley win PTS

    Would fancy Cotto to beat Bradley in a tough, hard fought fight.

    What makes you think Cotto can make 147?
