    Honestly, what would you guys think about a Mayweather/Bradley fight at 147 lbs.? Is that a better fight than Mayweather/Cotto at 154 lbs.?

    Bradley is moving up in weight. We don't know how he'll be at this weight. You can argue that it's the same thing as and undefeated Hatton moving up to fight Floyd.

    As for Cotto...he can pop at 154; Cotto is more dangerous to Mayweather at 154, than Bradley is to Pacquiao at 147.

    Bradley vs Mayweather would be a more fan friendly fight because Bradley would press the action.

    Against Pacquiao, Bradley will....run.

    It could be a terrible fight.

    However, I still think Cotto vs Mayweather may end up being a better fight than Mayweather vs Bradley.

    It just depends on how Mayweather decides to fight. If he is aggressive and presses the action, he'll get hit much more and it will turn into an exciting fight.

    In contrast, while Bradley may be aggressive against Mayweather, he may just end up mauling him and holding him, similiar to how Ricky Hatton fought him, and it wouldn't be as exciting as a fight against Cotto.

    In regards to Pacquaio, like I said, Bradley is going to run. Pacquioa is going to have to chase him all over the ring. It may be a repeat of Mosley vs Pacquiao.

    And the reason I say Bradley will run is because even though I was the first one on here to give Bradley his props, I don't think he has the boxing ability to outbox Pacquiao and out counter him, and it's suicide to rush him...

    Cotto is more dangerous at 154 than Bradley is at 147

    Cotto beats Bradley 9 times out of 10 at either weight

    Cotto in general is a better fighter than Bradley

    No matter what *****'s or *******s tell you, Cotto has more of a chance at beating Mayweather than Bradley does at beating Pacquiao.

    Blame Bob Arum.

    Fo' sho'.

    I don't like Bradley, but to his credit, he is a tricky opponent with a good head on him. And I don't just mean physically. He's a smart cat. He'll make Floyd think more than what Cotto will.

    It won't be as entertaining, though. In fact, it'll be a terrible fight on the eye.

    Honestly, I think so.

    I think Cotto is going to get picked apart by Floyd, Bradley would make a slightly more interesting fight.
    Cotto vs Pacquiao at 154 (your other question), I really dont see a different result here. Pacquiao will still have the ability to nail Cotto with punches that he doesnt see coming, and will slice him up 10 times out of 10. Cotto putting on more weight does nothing for his ability to see punches coming and get the hell out of the way of them.

    Would Bradley have a legit shot at outboxing Mayweather?

    Bradley's chances of "outboxing" Mayweather are less than negligable.

    On the other hand, Bradley employs some of the best aggressive defense in the game today...

    Unfortunately, Bradley can't punch for ****.

    That's his only downfall. Bradley with power, would be a PPV star.

    :patsch You're pretty much the exact type of poster that's ruined the board. You make thread after thread kissing Floyd's ass, and assinine posts like this. You're a cheerleader, nothing more.

    Pa'c taking the tougher fight against Bradley then Floyd is vs. Cotto, although Floyd would certainly use his PPV number being better, as they probably will be, to his advantage and continually KILL the Pac fight. Shame.

    Didn't Pacquiao choose to fight Cotto next but refused to go to 154? :lol:
