Better win over JMM-Floyd or Bradley?

[-Kev-]

Floyd fought a 36 year old Marquez. Bradley fought a 40 year old Marquez. Floyd shut him out. Bradley won 115-113 on one scorecard and lost 113-115 on another scorecard.

Marquez has gotten better with age though. At 36 he was making a meal of shot Casa and Juan Diaz, at 40 he's knocking out rightful WBO WW champ who he couldn't drop much younger.

Yeah I agree. JMM in better shape versus Tim but older.

My first reaction is Tim, but after considering the age factor and the ease of Floyd's victory, you may be right...

The Mayweather fight had Marquez at a greater disadvantage. Marquez has not been noticeably worse due to age. He boxes smarter, if not as agile. In the Mayweather fight he was only 2 fights removed from being a Junior Lightweight, the year beore. He was slow and flabby as were noticed by the commentators.

Going from 130 to 147 is a huge jump roughly a 15% weight increase. The extra $600,000 soothed Marquez's money hunger, but it made Mayweather's preparation very much easier than it should have been.

Mayweather dominated Marquez

Mayweather's performance was light years better. It's debatable whether Bradley even won

[waxfondler]

Floyd fought a fresher, but weight compromised jmm.

Tim fought an older, but more peak condition jmm.

In context & circumstance, edge goes to Tim. But Floyd boxed a masterpiece with his comeback fight.

Lol the fact that anybody would compare the mayweather fight is insane. Marquez actually dazed Bradley and more power punches than him too. Marquez couldn't touch mayweather.

Bradley's version period. Floyd's was total trash.

I would say Timmy, simply because he didn't pull Marquez from 135, then proceed to cheat him on the scales.

Mayweather defeated the better fighter, but Timmy had the "better" win.
