    LMAO!

    Cotto was a level above Bradley. Timmy would hang tough and show heart, but he'd be outclassed.

    It's not a bad matchup, and Bradley was certainly better at 140 than he was at 147.

    But Cotto was always a better fighter than Bradley.

    What makes this fight more Interesting is cotto didn't have the best chin or gas tank at the weight and Bradley might not have been the biggest puncher but he wasn't feather fisted and he had amazing powers of recovery and great chin and was physically strong at the weight and best of all high work rate

    Cotto was a better boxer and had better power than Bradley. It would have been a good fight but i would have favored Cotto.

    All valid points, however, it does come down to Bradley not having enough power to deter Cotto. And although Bradley was flashier, Cotto was actually the more skilled technician of the two.

    I don't think Cotto stops Bradley, but he wins a pretty clear decision.

    Bradley went life and death with provodnikov. Cotto outboxes him or beats him up, just better overall. At that weight, Cotto really beat up his opponents, he was the real deal up until he lost to bricked margo.

    Bradley was an excellent boxer before he decided to go all machismo to please the fans.

    Fair enough. Cotto gets a lot of credit that I'll never understand personally.
