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.
Mayweather-Cotto will be much more aesthetically pleasing. Just clean boxing, speed and skills.

There's is nobody more dangerous in the 140-147 range than Bradley.

There's no pressure for bradley to be at any weight because there's no disadvantage.
He can come in at 141 if he wants to and it's still a fair fight.

to act like cotto wont be motivated is ******ed. as is saying cotto isnt a real fighter, i dont give a **** what he said in the staredown with margarito. cotto is a true fighter, the man is a 3 weight world champ ffs, you cant achieve that not being a real fighter.
i agree bradley-pacquiao is the far better fight though, bradley is better than cotto at this stage and floyd has always been better than pac so it will most likely be a more competetive fight. considering how manny lost in his only legit challenge in years it will be interesting to see how he deals with this one.

Originally posted by PACsmash View PostWhat weight advantages will PAC have over Bradley? 20+lbs?? And this version of cotto should be easy for ployd.. I mean he did ducked cotto for how many years, 6? Lol
How can Floyd be ducking Cotto for 6 years while Cotto and Arum never wanted the fight. Isn't Manny ducking the Cotto that Floyd is fighting?
Manny is scared to fight a hydrated Cotto. Manny had no problem fighting a weight drain Cotto at 145 and now has no problem at fighting a weight drain 148 Cotto.

IF HE DID THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, HE WOULD BE PREPARED FOR THIS FIGHT BETTER...HE IS BEING RUSHED UP TO WW, TO FIGHT MANNY FREAKING PACMAN...HE WILL SEE THE SPEED, GO INTO A DEFENSIVE SHELL, SHAKE HIS GLOVES LIKE MOSLEY, AND GET KO'D IN THE 3RD ROUND....IF KENDAL HOLT CAN DROP HIM LIKE A RAGDOLL, THEN PAC WILL MURDER HIM EASY...Arum Picked Bradley for a reason, and u are not understanding that
he doesnt need to make 147 because pac is going to be 142. Size is zero issue.
In this Particular case bradley is more at an advantage than a disadvantage because of the weight.
bradley has more to gain from the weight because he doesnt need to drain any weight at all against pacquiao who is basically a jr welterweight.
he can just focus on the training and not worry about making weight.Last edited by Paclan; 04-02-2012, 04:12 PM.
