Why do you ask a question you already know the answer to? Bradley has never officially lost a fight and he has been a world champion for many years. Margarito was a good fighter but his record is not even close to being as good as Bradley's record and many fans{not me} think he used illegal hand wraps in all his fights. All the votes were for Bradley. Does that surprise you? Isn't that how you knew the voting would go?
Margarito fought the better opposition so far, Bradley may yet overtake that..
I think Tim has the better resume in terms of wins but it's not as wide as everybody here likes to lecture about!
Two wins at WW(one debatable) does not make Bradley better at WW than Margarito's several years run at WW.
Even if you compare both full resumes, you can have a case with either one being better than the other. Both have beaten good opponents though Bradley has done it in a shorter amount of time.
Also a better word to use for a fighter's career is ledger because that implies there are both positives and negatives values then you add/subtract at the end.
:lol1: There you go again comparing other fighters that have great wins to BRADLEY. Tell me what BRADLEY has done that compares to a Prime Cotto victory.
Obviously cotto is the biggest win,,, but Bradley has a lot more depth on his record, whence why he has a better overall resume... One big win does not automatically make your resume better..
If you were to rank the top 10 wins between them, margs would have 2 or 3 spots and Bradley would have seven or 8... That is what I'm basing my opinion on...
Ok, so what has Bradley done that's better than a win against a Prime Cotto?
:lol1: You just gonna bunch some bradley wins up to compare to Prime Cotto?
bro ONE win doesnt make his resume better... if you cant see that by now then nothing will change your mind
SRR lost 19 times.. are those 19 guys automatically better than floyd or pac now?
Since when are losses not negatives especially when you get your ass handed to you~
If it is a close loss especially to an excellent fighter, or shouldn't have been a loss to begin with then I can understand mitigating it, disregarding it or even using it as a positive.
Losses are bad~ winning isn't everything it is the only thing~
When comparing resumes I think that the biggest win should be at the top of the list, and beating a prime undefeated cotto is definitately a nice résumé starter.
Horrible comparison! Bradley's resume and B-hops resume shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence, you're better than that Adam.
Dude I'm not comparing Hopkins and Bradley...
Just don't claim margs has better resume because he has the biggest win..that is faulty logic,, buster Douglas, tarver, and jmm have the 3 biggest wins of the last 25 years, and using that logic means they have the best resumes, which they clearly don't..
Margs has the biggest win but that doesn't mean he has the better resume
:lol1: Margaritos win over Prime Cotto is better than ANYTHING timmy's done.
Unless you want to give credit to bradley for the pac robbery, loooooooool.
and? that doesnt make his total resume better
Accomplishments
Margs: welter champ, wins over serg, cistron twice, cotto
Lost to santos, Williams, Shane, manny, cotto
Bradley: jr welter and welter champ, wins over ruslan, manny, jmm, Alexander,Peterson, abregu, Vasquez, witter
Has to be Bradley
He has wins over 3 current champs ruslan, Peterson, Vasquez
naw man according to posters here you gotta count who kicked Margos azz too
:lol1: Margaritos win over Prime Cotto is better than ANYTHING timmy's done.
Unless you want to give credit to bradley for the pac robbery, loooooooool.
I agree margs has the single biggest win, but in terms of total resume, it has to be Bradley... Tarver has bigger win than Hopkins yet Hopkins has better resume.. One big win does give you the better resume

Disregarding the fact that I do believe margarito had loaded wraps in the cotto fight, a win over an undefeated prime cotto is bigger than anything bradley has done so far. The pac win was a robbery, and the jmm win was big but not as big as the cotto win.
I agree that losses are part of a fighter's resume, but losing to great fighters doesn't mean you have a better resume. Wins and controversial losses still determine who has the better resume between two fighters.
