Bradley vs. Cotto at a catch-weight of 156
By Dan Ambrose:
Former WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley could be fighting for the WBC middleweight title against Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO’s) in December without being ranked in the division, says Steve Kim. There’s still nothing official yet, but the word is that Bradley has been offered a fight against the 33-year-old Cotto at a catch-weight of 156 pounds to accommodate him.
Bradley has never fought above welterweight before, but now he’ll be skipping the junior middleweight division and going straight to middleweight to fight for the title against WBC champ Miguel Cotto. Read full Story...

Pacquiao vs. Khan: The Wild Card War
June 29, 2014
“It’s hard to see him older and getting worse. Freddie, with the Parkinson’s Disease, he was struggling with instructions and couldn’t move as well.”
Amir Khan, in late Summer 2012 after getting KTFO by Danny Garcia
Wow Amir. That like... it stinks.
I read those comments and it leads you to make that real scrunchy face. The one you make after your 300lb cousin annihilated the bathroom after feeling the effects of Taco Bell.
No spray.
No Warning.
No police tape covering the damn door.
However prescient Khan thought his remarks to be - after abandoning a Freddie Roach who was about as cold as a homeless man caught in a Chicago winter at the time - I wonder how he approaches them now roughly two years later. Read full Story...
