Tim Bradley: Thurman Win Massive; Beating Spence Makes Pacquiao Top 3 GOAT.

You just said "All I know is that Marquez win looks way better as time goes by..." like Marquez should get credit every time Pacquiao beats someone. I'm letting you know why he shouldn't.

 

JMM never came that close the previous 3 times. Not in my mind. A lot of people say he won this one and that one, but Manny was a good style for him and he did well against Manny. But I don't raise JMM's resume until he beats Thurman and and Margarito and guys Manny beat and had to go through hell to beat. Manny was being careless against JMM in fight four and in my mind a dominant decision win in someway would have proven more than the one punch knockout, and I know this sounds a little crazy.

 

Wrong! Pac wasn't even ranked in the Ring's top 20 fighters list after WW2 PBF was 12th and that was before he even fought Pac. You think a win over Thurman is going to move him from off the list to around 8 or 9 which is were PBF would be ranked if the Pac win was included on the list?

Gotta love that type of logic.

 

Stop it! GGG was P4P #1 Loma was or is P4P #1 on alot of lists. Calzaghe was a top P4P fighter for years. So was Pac Canelo I could go on and on.

 

False not everybody

 

It is harder to get recognized if you are not Mexican or American. I mean Briedis is better than Canelo and Santa Cruz p4p. Actually I think he's ever better than Golovkin in his prime. But nobody will rate him higher because he's not American or Mexican and didn't fight a big name Mexican.

Pirog at one time was probably a top 5 fighter in the world, but nobody even cared. They tried to rob him against Jacobs anyways.

 

I'm not a big fan of Bradley's commentary

 

He's a better commentator than just about anybody. Way better than Teddy Atlas and Larry Merchant.

 

Breidis isn't better than Canelo. You don't have to try and overhype Usyk victims to prop Usyk up. Some of you were doing the same thing with the Russian Arthur Abraham.

 

He's not better than Paulie, Ward, Tarver, etc. He is better than Lewis though.

 

No he actually is. P4P his speed and power are much better. So is his workrate. Plus he's fought tougher opposition. At least his best opponent was better than anything Canelo has fought.

 

Paulie's bias clearly sets in though. He treats prizefights like it's flag football. You almost get penalized by him on the cards for hitting somebody too hard.

 

He lost to his toughest opponent clearly. Breidis isn't better than Golovkin either.

 

I'm taking a prime Briedis over a past prime Golovkin. Right now he's better than either of them. He took a 31 year old Usyk into deep waters. He's better than Canelo, but he's not Mexican so he doesn't get enough credit.
