Juan Manuel Marquez -vs- Timothy Bradley (140) Unofficial Poll! Two very talented fighters with styles I think could match up for a very entertaining battle. Please discuss, poll to follow.
Marquez would win. I hate how NSB works. Before the Floyd fight and Marquez has around 80 percent of the vote, now bradley is ahead? And you guys complain of Ring magazine having bad ratings.
I had Bradley to win before the fight with Mayweather and I have him to win now. We have no reason to believe JMM belongs at 140 and above. Especially against a gentleman with as much size and talent as Bradley.

Bradley's defense is better than Diaz's and he wouldn't go diving in recklessly like Diaz did either.
Bradley is bigger, faster, stronger and is more well rounded than Diaz.
I'm not saying Marquez couldn't win but he would have a much tougher fighter with Bradley than he did with Diaz.
Ofcourse, I'm not gonna deny that. Then you have to factor in Bradley's head, won't be easy.
Bradley isn't a hard puncher but he does hit alot harder then Juan Diaz and has much quicker feet. The fact that Bradley puts on alot of pressure leaves him open for one of Marquez's counters. I could see JMM hurting him and stopping him late or winning a U.D.

At one point i had a bad feeling they were going to rob Bradley, did you get that impression to?
I sure did. :)
Bradley fought a very good fight that night, i'm glas the judges didn't take his moment away from him.
Bradley clearly won the Witter fight.
I have no idea how that judge scored for Witter. :pat:

Yep, when you watch the Witter fight that is a perfect example of Bradley not going crazy and leaving himself open, even though he is in total control, he knew Witter was a banger, he knew Witter was a counter puncher so why give him opportunities he does not have by forcing the issue.
That fight was not even as close as the scorecards suggested imo.

I know there's some bad visions in our head because of what happened with Floyd, but Marquez is still a great fighter.
That being said, I think Bradley is top notch and I would favor him to beat Marquez at 140.
Even Holt didn't land many punches on Bradley as well.
I think Marquez is a better counterpuncher than Holt but he doesn't have the size that Holt has.
Marquez is a natural 130lber, He doesn't belong any higher than 135.

Bradley is too fast for JMM, he also applies smart pressure, he knows when and how to apply pressure without leaving holes, unless he is fighting a sneaky puncher like Holt who happens to be one of, if not the quickest fighter around today.
