In reality it seems that that division was a bit overrated. 147 vs pacquiao is a whole different story and I don't think Tim makes it past 7.
-The 140 lb division was not that great.
-Thus, being the top dog at 140 is nothing special
Is this the argument put forward?
If so, then go back and read the writers and analysis who repeatedly said 140 was the most stacked division with the best competition in boxing. This is no hyperbole and was said by pretty much anyone who wrote boxing.
Regarding Bradley. Let's list a few facts. He is a multi-world champion. He is undefeated. He has consistently been in the Top 10 P4P on all legitimate lists for years. He is young and strong. He is always in tremendous physical shape. He is strong willed and intelligent.
No one can deny that Tim Bradley is one of the top fighters in boxing, one of the very best in the neighborhood in terms of weight, and that Pacquiao is taking on a very, very serious challenge.

Pacquiao Bradley is going to be the more intriguing fight
Bradley has everything to prove. This is his shot at stardom, and this is the biggest fight of his life and his chance to prove his greatness. Combine that with his determination, resilience youth, skill, physical ability and intelligence, and you have a problem on your hands.
Cotto on the other hand, has nothing to prove. He was already broken against margarito, he already failed against pacquiao. He's fought nobody's since then, and this is most likely his last big payday. He already said he wouldn't die in the ring(real fighters would) and he's fighting mr self preservation.
Sure all the hype and media is on Floyd and Cotto, but I think the real fight is going to be on June 9th.Last edited by Paclan; 04-02-2012, 02:47 PM.

Manny ducked the Cotto Floyd is fighting. Apperantly Pacquiao believes Bradley is less risk then Cotto at 154 and is willing to even take a pay cut to fight a lesser draw and threat in Bradley. I still think Bradley beats Pac anyway even while Bradley will be at a weight disadvantaged.
