Not for me I actually want to see them go at it again after pacqiao woops Bradley's ass. I didn't know they were fight at 147 till after the fight and I feel like maybe that's why maidana couldn't hurt him. So that's why he's going to stay at 140. But Alexander did do very well and I feel hed do better vs Bradley this time around.
It's one reason why Maidana wasn't as effective; another reason is that Alexander is a better boxer than Maidana. Bradley is a better boxer than Alexander.

Bradley is going to shock people in June. Pacquiao is on the slide. Bradley is on his way up.

Swings and roundabouts..
is Mathyse a better boxer than Alexander then? Most people felt he won vs Alexander. It could be a number of reasons. You're just choosing the reasons you like ;) I think a rematch at 147 would be more competitive too based on last night. You're only as good as your last fight as they say..
Matthyssee and Alexander are close as far as their boxing ability. I had Matthysse winning that fight by a hair. Maidana is a crude brawler who pressures his opponents into wilting. At 147, he isn't big enough to do that. At 140, he is. This fight was more about that than anything else. Maidana has some good fights ahead at 140, perhaps against the Soto-Matthysse winner.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is the way I see it. Manny has been in too many fights and it has taken it's toll. This is the same excuse that was made for Barrera and Morales when they were defeated by Pacquiao. Although Mayweather seldom fights, he makes it a point to keep himself fit.
Cotto is still a formidable boxer and he is capable of doing the unthinkable but I give Bradley a better chance of pulling an upset.

Yea bruh.. I could see that happening.. Pac-Bradley is a dangerous fight..
Floyd-Cotto on the other hand.. IT'll be just a bit more competitive than the Henry Bruseles fight..
Re: Does Cotto or Bradley have a better chance at pulling off the upset?
Going with Bradley in the upset department here. I think Tim is hungry and determined to beat Manny. I think Cotto will get out boxed and busted up in his fight with Money.
Re: Does Cotto or Bradley have a better chance at pulling off the upset?
i think floyd v cotto will probably resemble floyd v gatti.
Re: Does Cotto or Bradley have a better chance at pulling off the upset?
Slightly off topic but this thread is making me way more excited for pac-bradley than I was. 2012 is looking like a good year so far.

Holding arms = boxing?
I don't fucking think so, bro. Alexander held like the twat he is because he lacks inside fighting ability.
