    I agree wit this, i really hope Cotto-Alvarez gets made. Alvarez might not be ready but then again, he might be. It's a great fight in any case.

    Cotto-Canelo would be great.

    The crafty veteran against the talented up and coming young buck.

    Add to that one of the biggest rivalries in the sport with Mexico vs Puerto Rico.

    It has classic writen all over.

    good lord, the only thing worse than your post is the laughable opinion in which you believe TB makes it into the 2nd half vs cotto. outboxws cotto, seriouly kid. besr i ever read. TB canr outbox anyone, his boxing a u c k sssss

    he is a weak ass come straight ahead banger (lol banger) that wrestles to qin. cotto woould uterly destroy him at any weight and in any condition

    TB is borderline OK at WW

    There is nothing straight ahead about Bradley. He is one of the most adaptable fighters in the game.

    If you think Cotto will just try to walk him down, you are out of your mind. Cotto doing that would lead to him being cut up, busted up, and bruised up and losing a shut out.

    Cotto doesn't have enough power, the speed, or the technique to take out Bradley at 147.

    Only person I see givnig Bradley a problem at 147 is Floyd.

    cotto vs canelo in dec, winner fights mayweather in may. Or if the fight is a close affair, just rematch both guys in may.

    I don't see Cotto outboxing Bradley and Bradley has a better chin than Mayweather and others who took Cotto's punch.

    I think it would be the best fight for Cotto. Cotto vs Bradley no one has a clue who would win. Cotto would easily beat Canelo.

    Cotto and Bradley are the same size.

    Being GB already announced they would be co-promoting cottos next fight I think it's safe to say its not gonna be Bradley anyways.

    Bradley and Canelo can both beat Cotto. Will be tough for Bradley at 154 but he can outbox Cotto. He would do much better at 147. Cotto could also turn it into a war like he did vs Judah and break Bradley down physically. I see headbutts and cuts all over Cotto which will be tough to overcome. With Cotto's new trainer, i see him beating Canelo in a 12 rd decision. But Canelo may just be too big and powerful and catch Cotto going down the stretch but Cotto's stamina has improved with Diaz' new training methods to maximize strength and endurance. The better man that night will win but i could see these two match-ups going either way imho.

    :good


    This, exactly this^^^^^^


    Put this thing in MSG and this **** will most definitely be a classic. Their styles, somewhat similar, would match up perfectly.

    It's a toss up fight, but I think Cotto's experience edges him a points decision, likely a bit controversial.
