Does Cotto or Bradley have a better chance at pulling off the upset?

[Chino]

In my estimation, Bradley does. However, for those that believe Cotto does, I am curious to hear your reasoning.

With only 41.3% ko rate, I don't think Bradley has a chance of pulling off an upset. He aint' gonna outbox Pac if that's what you're thinking. That's nowhere his gameplan. Hes gonna get timed and probably will get hurt badly.

Anyways. Cotto can execute a hail mary punch, and Bradley can't.

Yeah. Just like that. As simple as that.

I guess we can finally agree on something ^^^this.

Also, Mayweather is going up to Cotto's comfortable's weight (no weight draining or catchweight) so it gives Cotto juuuuuuust a little bit more of a possibility of doing something vs Mayweather.

PSL and Chino for once agree! It's ironic that the people who view Bradley as having no shot are either (1) Huge Manny Pacquiao Fans or (2) Those that Hate Manny Pacquiao.

However, I disagree with you both. I've been a big Tim Bradley fan for a long time; I've rode with the Desert Storm since before he went across the pond, as an underdog, to beat up Junior Witter, when Junior Witter was still legitimate. He has a lot of skills. The common critique of Timothy Bradley is that he is good at a lot of things, but not great at any one thing. I concede that I understand that point, but I believe it's not actually true. If you watch Timothy Bradley closely, you'll see a high level of defense and footwork that is way above average. He also knows how to move well and moves in arcs. Maintaining his distance and using his footwork could lead him to victory against Manny Pacquiao.

Bradley's power isn't great, but it's sufficient to keep Manny honest. Remember Bradley has fought at 147 before, and he beat an undefeated fighter. Bradley is too good for Manny to just walk through him. The issue for Bradley will be whether he can deal with Manny's southpaw stance and whether he can avoid Manny's patented odd-angled shots for a whole 12 rounds.

Actually, Huge Manny Pacquiao fans will inflate this fight saying Bradley is such a big risk, a super awesome fight, etc. Just to make Manny look great if he wins, which seems like the bigger possibility.

I also wonder how his chin will take Pacquiao’s punches and the weight where they are meeting. What do you think Bradley has better than Pacquiao?

Bradley has much better chance, of course..

Cotto aint got a snowball's chance in hell.. Not only is he facing the greatest active fighter but he's fighting a man with 2 eyes...

Floyd-Cotto is one of the biggest mismatches ever..

Haven't gotten over the humiliating defeat by Margacheato, huh?




Too bad...... bro.

u trippin..lol U gotta handle the truth .. This aint got nothing to do with Margarito but Floyd just has the style and the tools to dissect and beat Cotto's ass.. That's all im sayin bruh..

[Gandalf]

Definitely Tim Bradley. Pac is showing different kinds of chinks. He can't close down people who move and he struggles with effective countering. Bradley can do what he does well, learn from others and maybe even work his way to a decision. Cotto on the other hand is going to struggle to land anything clean all night. This isn't Margarito he is facing and Mayweather has already shown he can handle 154.

You seldom hit Mayweather clean, but it's not unusual to see Manny cut and I think that is likely against Bradley.

[CutMeMick]

I voted Bradley because he is more complete and is closer to Pac's level.
As opposed to Cotto who's been to hell & back and is not as close to PBF's level.


Thinking about it more though:
Cotto has a bodyshot that can fold PBF.
Bradley can only try to rough Pac up thru 12.

[p4pking]

Bradley and it's not even close imo. He is a fairly live dog to me, and at the least will put up a good scrap.

[Dark Lord Al]

If Pac is at his best he totally pummels the average Bradley , i think Cotto has more of a chance personally , as he is at a good weight for him , and Floyd as good as he is hasnt fought in a while.

Pac stops Bradley late .

Cotto gets outpointed , but i give him a chance.

[Dia bando]

Bradley get's ko , and Cotto takes a hiding.

Mayweather has only fought four rounds in the last year, and he ended his last fight by throwing a cheap shot. You're giving the guy WAY too much credit.

His last opponent was shit, too. Ortiz has only had ONE good fight.

In my estimation, Bradley does. However, for those that believe Cotto does, I am curious to hear your reasoning.

Yeah. Just like that. As simple as that.

Bradley doesn't have the power to KO Pacquiao, but he has the stamina and physical strength to maul and pressure Manny to a decision win, Marquez hasn't come close to stopping Manny but he's whooped that ass 3 times already

Cotto has the weight advantage, has big fight experience, is using his technical ability a lot more in recent fights, has shown better stamina in recent fights, so IMO he has just as good a chance as anyone, that said Mayweather still wins

/facepalm. I hate biased Mexicans.

[Rantcatrat]

It somewhat blows my mind that people are doubting Bradley. He's on p4p lists for a reason...

War Desert Storm!

[Master]

Cotto, no doubt.

Bradley is the younger man, the bigger man (he fought at 152 in the amateurs I believe and weighs mid 150s walking around), and he has the ginormous dome that cuts you up.
