    This is a dream fight. Bradley will win, though. If you take away the Martinez win, Bradley's resume > or + to Cotto's resume. Bradley is a P4P fighter who is the 3rd best fighter in the sport's most prominent division, Cotto is the lineal 160 champ.

    This would be a great fight, and people should not favor Cotto.
    Look at Bradley's resume, who's in the prime of his career, wins over...Provodnokov, Alexander, JM Marquez, Abregu, Casamayor, Peterson, Kendall Holt, Miguel Vazquez, Junior Witter.....all 100% legit wins, (did not include pac, which some people think he at least earned a draw)

    How is a fighter with all those significant wins at 140 and 147 vs. the lineal 160 champ not an interesting fight?

    Cotto would stop Bradley.

    Crazy how that's the conventional wisdom now....Bradley would of been a clear favorite before the Martinez fight.

    fight should be at 155 though, so at least bradley can be lineal at mw if he does happen to win.

    Don't want to see this fight .

    Bradley will be too ineffective at 154 .

    Cotto (2008 vs TB would have been an excellent match up , and Bradley would given Cotto major problems .

    It's the weight issue. It's not fair for Cotto to hold the title hostage by fighting at an absurd catchweight like 155.

    It's a fine fight on its own. Bradley might be just too small for Cotto at this point of his career.

    I said Cotto would beat Bradley even when Cotto was still at 147.
    No way Bradley would be able to keep Cotto off him.

    I think Bradley beats him at every weight. Bad style matchup for Cotto

    Bradley's speed and ability to move for 12 hard rounds would absolutely befuddle Cotto.
