Whose win over Marquez was better: Mayweather or Bradley?

You're fucking ******ed.

Mayweather was more impressive and beat the better version as well. Marquez's speed had declined a lot in my opinion.

I may have been one the few who felt TB did not do enough to win. I scored the fight a draw.

May-JMM was a 120-107 shut out. There may have been one round where Floyd took slightly off, or JMM just happened to do good all on his own in that round, either or. It was a virtual shut out.

[-PBP-]

Floyd was more dominant obviously.

I think the current Marquez is a better welterweight fighter than the version that Floyd fought though.

[LacedUp]

Floyd's, obviously.

[Boxing Goat]

I pick Bradley because Floyd beat a guy at 147 who had never previously fought there.

[Zano-24]

I would say Mayweather. When Bradley fought Marquez, Marquez was far out of his prime and old. Marquez really needs to retire and stop chasing belts at 147.

[Canelo Phresh]

Regardless of how well Mayweather did against Marquez Bradley beat a better Marquez. An established welter/jr welter weight coming off of a career defining ko victory. A ko victory over the best fighter of the last decade and definite first ballot hall of famer, Manny Pacquiao. Yeah it was a close fight that came down to the championship rounds to determine the victor, that said Bradley has been in with the best of his era save Mayweather and has made them all look human. Bradley is 1 and 1 in his fights with current era atg's. Thats saying something.

[SeekDaGreat]

Most definitely the way Bradley struggled to a split-decision was by far way more impressive than when Mayweather completely dominated him, floored him, and cruised to one of his easiest wins in his career.

Only a ****** can't see that.

The "first time in that weight class" and "Marquez was in better shape" gets used too much. Mosley, Guerrero and Pacquiao had no problem jumping from 135 to 147 and winning.

You can say, "Well, they didn't fight Mayweather". If that is your counter argument, that is more of a testament of how difficult Mayweather is to beat, rather than Marquez not being in good enough shape. How can Marquez go back down to LW, beat Diaz and Katsidis easy, then come up to WW again and, what looked like to me he beat Pacquiao clearly in the trilogy, then beats him again by KO. Sorry but there was no establishment at WW when he beat Pacquiao or Bradley. What was established in those 4 fights(May, Pac 2x, Bradley) is that Mayweather is on a different level than Pac and Bradley; and JMM is more equal to Pac and Bradley. In most cases, going up in weight for a great, older fighter is actually beneficial to him, not detrimental.
