      actually a very interesting question

      1st time tim fought pac he had good wins over peterson and devon so was undoubtedly the king of 140 BUT he was moving up to 147

      2nd time tim fought pac he added provod and marquez to his resume which isnt that huge because provod was 140 and marquez record at 147 isnt that great but he had just ko pac so good win

      when floyd fought canelo it was at catchweight + his only credible win over a 154 was trout which i thought he lost. his other wins over lopez, mosley , hatton are nothing impressive either.

      i think tim is a better win. more accomplished fighter at the time of the fight

          Pacquiao does everything better than Floyd. End Thread!

            You may have missed it but Canelo's trainer had an earpiece. He was getting his instructions from Algieri's trainer. "Let Canelo out of the cage when I tell you too. Not a moment sooner"...... Joking!

            Canelo trying to outbox Floyd was like Seattle Seahawks trying to pass. What were they thinking!

              The only time Bradley get any hype on here is in respect to Pacquiao. I think the Canelo win was better but not by much. Bradley fought a decent fight in the first fight and lost. He went into the second fight with the intentions of knocking Pacquiao out. That wasn't a good game plan. He was swinging for the fences like an MMA fighter. No matter what his position on P4P list was, he fought like an amateur in the second fight. Canelo's downfall was trying to outbox Mayweather but his effort was better than what Bradley put up in the second fight. Not many people thought Bradley would win so why would that be a good win when he actually lost?

                Honestly Bradley never looks good. Alot of wild loopy punches. he is hitting with his forearm when he punches or his forehead when he lunges in.

                  If Canelo fought like Maidana, I'd say Canelo, but Canelo played right into Floyd's hands. The guy was always a sand straight up fighter with no movement, or wild angles to throw punches from.

                  Yeah, he had power, but he was drained, and was fighting basic against a master boxer. Manny had to work harder to beat Bradley, because Bradley's crafty, and moves around like a squirell. It's hard to look good against Bradley, and you can lose rounds against him, whether elite or not.

                  Bradley's style is harder to deal with. Canelo is basic with power. Pac would've Cotto'd that basic fighter.

                    Bradley, by a distance I would say. A clear win over JMM shits all over anything Canelo has done in his career.

                      When Floyd beat him, Canelo was not in the top 20 p4p according to Ring Mag, he was around 20ish. Theres no point in you trying to rewrite history. Canelo was only a good opponent on the basis he was bigger than Floyd, but Floyd took that away with the CW. So whos fault is that?

                      He hadn't beat anyone and trout was his only decent win. And Trout only had one good win as well.

                      Bradley was considered a better fighter. He had beaten good names for a number of years.
