    I've got a feeling Bradley will win this fight AND WIN EASY.

    Pac-Man is on the slide and Bradley is on the up. In fact outside Mayweather I see this is the toughest fight possible for Pac-Man. I haven't been imrpessed by Pac-Man since he KO-ed Morales in 2006.

    This could be the re-birth or birth of a star.

    I will tease you about this post after Bradley loses.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I do agree on the slight direction they are going, Bradley being fresher and Manny has kept a very busy pace and if you give merit to the saying a guy is as only good as his last fight...granted it was a great in Marquez, but Manny got his ears boxed and caught. He better come down off the throne, down to earth and come in ala savage Manny mode!

    Disagree on Tim having anything easy in match. He'll have to work two fold for any credit and will feel the moment of the opponent like no other. It puts him on the map in a huge way that he's well due and I think we'll see the very best he's capable of and be on point. It wont be easy at all but its certainly not impossible.

    leighton. Bradley doing better against Pac than Cotto will against Floyd means absolutely nothing. Despite what the Pacfans will have you believe the difference in skill level between Floyd and Pac is enormous.

    So you say the weight wouldn't have mattered and Cotto still would have caught a beating? Begs the question I asked earlier..so why did Pac try to drain Cotto AGAIN if the result is such a foregone conclusion instead of meeting Cotto in the middle? That was Pacs preferred fight..if it was so easy, fight him again at 150? Truth is Cotto had Pacs number up until that 2nd knockdown..Perhaps due to being drained? Maybe not but we'll never know because Team Pac didn't want the rematch on neutral ground. Simple as that.

    Even if PAC spark's Bradley out in less than 60 secs, I still don't see PAC beating Floyd it just doesnt carry over. You are right the difference in skill level is enormous.

    Cotto WAS doing very well against Pac for the first few rounds, snapping his head back with a very sharp jab. IMO, what turned the fight was the lack of a solid game plan from Cotto. He had the extremely ordinary Joe Santiago in his corner, who was likely as clueless as a 3rd grader in a nuclear physics class. Cotto began needlessly and prematurely trading with Pacquiao, and Pac caught him with some good shots from which Miguel never recovered.

    The Cotto being handled by Pedro Diaz, however, would be a different matter altogether. And truth be told, I myself don't understand Pacquiao's reluctancy to fight Cotto at the higher weight. It's nothing Pac hadn't been doing before. What changed all of a sudden? So yeah... not a Pac-hater or anything, but it does seem a bit puzzling as to why Pacquiao would be so unyielding in his negotiations with Cotto.

    We obviosly were not watching the same fight because I did not see Cotto with a chance at all. It was another joke fight in my opinion.
    Oh and please dont get me wrong. I am not a Pac or a Mayweather fan. There is nothing I would love to see more than both of them lose. Pac made Cotto weight drained for the fight even though he could have won easy. Mayweather made Marquez go up two weights and still came in over his limit.
    They get away with it because people want to face the best with the exception of Pac and Floyd.
    And I agree that Mayweather is a much better fighter than Pac and would probably win the fight if they have one. Another reason why the Pac Bradley fight imo will be a closer better fight.
    Saying that I would rather see Bradley fight either Mayweather or Pac than Cotto.
    Bradley deserves a shot with one of them because of what he has done in his devision. Dominated everyone and not been near losing a fight. So you dont really know how good he is and how far he will push himself to win. Cotto has been pushed to the edge and lost. Bradley has not so who can say how he will react.
    The one thing in Bradleys career that looks bad is avoiding Khan. But we now see he did it to get a super fight with Pac and not risk a loss to khan before this fight.
    Once again I say this. Cotto will be destroyed by Mayweather. Bradley will do well against Pac and the fight will be closer. UD or KO for mayweather. SD for Pac. They are my predictions. You give me your predictions and we can hold them over each others heads later. Will make for interesting post fight discussions.

    Sure thing bud, Mayweather K.O and Pacquiao UD for me.

    Plus I'm in agreement with most of what you have said..I was the first to call MM a bitch when he came in 2lbs overweight against Marquez. Not cool at all. Very disrespectful.

    Although Bradly has dominated his division, it's not one with that much depth apart from Khan and now, Peterson.

    Yeah overall bradleys devision is not as good as Cottos devisions he has been in. Its just the fact hes undefeated and won his fights easily that adds a bit of mistery to this fight for me.
    The problem with me wanting Pac and Mayweather to lose is that I want them to lose at the same time. I would hate one to have something over the other before they fight. Or you could imagine if one loses the other would avoid them and say they are not good enough because they lost there fight, etc etc. Opening a whole new series of avoidance tactics which they are alredy pretty good at.

    Sure, remember my name - I tend to remember what people say pre-fight and find their post-fight thoughts interesting. There are plenty of people here that back track and it winds me up. I'd like to think I'm not one of them but if I do I'd gladly eat humble pie.

    I even gave Calzaghe credit after the Kessler fight and I despise Joe Calzaghe. That was a difficult moment in my life...

    Btw, you said Bradley is more of a mystery than Cotto and while I agree, that could also be seen on the flip side of the coin..We know how good Cotto is and what he can do but the best opposition Bradley has ever fought is Alexander and Peterson..I wouldn't quite call that "doo doo" like somebody did but I will say that doesn't have shit on Cotto's CV. So the "mystery" might reveal itself to be a huge dissapointment when he steps up to this level of competition.

    That's what I'm trying to say"I'm the one that said doodoo" look don't get me wrong he's a professional boxer and has the life i'd want but what you just said is what I'm getting at. the people he's fought are not like these guys it's what makes the diffrence between a boxer and living legends lol
