Whose win over Marquez was better: Mayweather or Bradley?

bradley def fought the better marquez
he was jucied up and coming of the biggest win in boxing in years

[ShoulderRoll]

People mention the weight for Mayweather-Marquez but Floyd didn't use that to win the fight. He wasn't being physical in there or loading up on power punches or out muscling JMM or leaning on him Wlad-style forcing him to carry his weight.

Instead he used superior technique to methodically dissect him and take him apart. Marquez was completely outboxed that night in one sided fashion.

Bradley by comparison was in a much closer fight against an older JMM. And it was competitive enough that Juan thinks he got robbed....he would never in a million years make that same claim about his bout with Mayweather.

is this really a question? you know the haters will say bradley

Bradley's win over Marquez is much better. Marquez had to jump up 2 weight classes and he was still cheated on the scales against Floyd. Marquez was also coming off a huge KO victory over Pac (at welterweight) when Bradley fought him.

Marquez having to jump from 135 to 144 definitely makes the beautiful performance Mayweather had look a little ugly to an uneducated boxing fan. I don't view it that way, considering that his very next legit appearance at the weight was against Manny Pacquiao and he had no problems at all outboxing him to a disputed loss and later knocking him out at the exact same weight he fought Floyd at. It's not like Marquez moved up to Welter and established his body to the weight by having several fights there, no, that's not the case. His very NEXT fight at Welter was against Manny at the exact same weight he lost to Floyd. With that being said Floyd had the better performance and with time, made the performance go from just an ok victory to now it being a very good win on his resume given what Marquez has went on to do.

Not to mention, Marquez was #2 P4P and Floyd hadn't stepped in a boxing ring in 2 years

Marquez was 40 years old and hadn't fought in a year against Bradley.

Marquez did not HAVE to do anything, he chose to. Wish you people would quit talking about being cheated on the scales. he got paid hansomely, and at NO POINT during that fight did Floyd use weight to his advantage. He did not lean on Marquez or push him around the ring. Floyd was on his feet all day using his superior boxing skills.

Bradley got the decision but didn't win, and Floyd cheated Marquez with the catchweight and than intentionally missing weight. So neither!

[Carpe Diem]

Marquez threw his combos with better fluidity and timing against Floyd, whereas against Bradley, he was too muscular and slower and never had a consistent rhythm with punching technique. Bradley fought the more experienced and accomplished version of JMM at 147, but he also fought the washed-up version.

Floyd fought the younger version who made his debut at the division. I think that version would've handled himself better against Bradley even though some may argue that JMM wasn't in the best fighting shape when he fought Floyd, but his punching technique and movements had more fluidity against Floyd than against Bradley.

Mayweather coming off a 18 month lay off shut out Marquez.

4 years later Bradley won a close fight with Marqeuz.

And then the thread (should have) ended.
