without a doubt manny has faced much tougher and proven competition

jmm twice and bradley is the best of the lot,,

ortiz, ghost, rios and canelo were just young lions but ended up like kittens

mosely was shot vs both floyd and manny so thats about a wash

[kardsufur]

I'm not saying Canelo is better than Bradley cus he's not but I voted it as the best opponent simply because of the weight class and how out of his league weight wise Floyd was

[Shad0wB0xer]

In terms of resume you have to go with Bradley.

Manny:
Rios - B level fighter
Marquez - p4p top 10
Bradley - p4p top 5
Marquez - p4p top 10
Mosley - Gate keeper (at this stage)


Floyd:
Canelo - B level fighter
Guerrero - B level fighter
Cotto - p4p top 15
Ortiz - Gate keeper
Mosley - Gate keeper (at this stage)

This.

Floyd's best opponent was Cotto IMO. I think that was Floyd's toughest fight, yes Floyd won rounds but it wasn't easy. We aren't used to Floyd getting roughed up like that.

Manny fought Bradley, sandwiched by 2 Marquez fights, his toughest opponent.

But, Floyd has fought twice at 154 before, and is currently a unified champion at 154. The fight was at 150, and Canelo has a very bad resume. Canelo was hyped by media and fans, but he has a very bad resume. He won his title against Matthew Hatton.

In Mannys last 5 fights he has faced only 1 legit ranked ww..and that was Mosley who hadnt won in 2 damn years


floyds last 5 fights he has faced 4 current champions and the other was a interim champion

Almost.

But Bradley wasn't Top 5 P4P when Pacquaio fought him.
