I agree to an extent. I think Bradley is good enough and awkward enough to give Pacquiao real problems. The only problem with this fight is that I don't see a way Bradley can win. Bradley can't knock Pacquiao out and I don't see how he can dominate to a points win. We all know that Bradley won't get the decision in a close fight thanks to the crowd and Pacquiao's activity, so even though this fight should be competitive, it seems a little predetermined. I also fear that this will be a stinker to watch as with most Bradley fights. At least the Cotto fight was full of action.

I disaggree, Cotto was a better opponent, even at catch-weight, and Clottey is arguable (Bradly may squeak by him on activity alone but that dome charge).
But I get the OP's point, nobody should be having issues with this fight. It's legit and should be a ****er.

I'm not going to lie though I am rooting for Pacquiao in this one.

Bradley has a quite aggressive style whilst Miguel Cotto has adopted a more safer fighting style in the latter of his career...
So the way It looks to me Pac and Brad are both aggressive both make mistakes this fight is going to be close If Brad can deal with the hand speed but I get the feeling the Mayweather vs Cotto will be a stinker with Mayweather pot shotting and countering all night long.

I don't have a problem with Pac vs Bradley too much though in hindsight. I just don't think it's going to be a very exciting fight.

"undrained" is bs. 154 is a lazy weight for Cotto, he's getting old (its been over two years since Pac fight) and slow so moving up to a softer weight class was safest for him. I love Cotto but he's over-the hill, so no, its not a better fight than Pac/Bradley and the one-sided beat down in May will prove it.
Cotto's boxer/puncher style is a bad match-up for a superior boxer, which is what he's fighting. He's going to get out-boxed and cut up, possibly stopped. His only chance is if he can resurrect that ******* jab and left-hook to the body and land them at will (yea, don't see that happening).

pacroid should just move to the u.s. fulltime. most his money is made in the u.s. anyway.
no sense paying taxes in two countries.
he can always move back to philippines when he retires.
