    Personally, I think this would be a FOTY candidate if it ever took place. A fantastic clash of styles. If the fight were to happen at 140, who would you pick to win?

    I would pick Bradley to do what diaz was doing to JMM, only more effective, while maintaining momentum, and all around working JMM to possibly a late stoppage win.

    This has nothing to do with what i think of JMM, it has to do with me completely thinking he has no buisness fighting at 140, against an elite guy of the division like Bradley.

    Bradley. Not because he's anywhere near the great that JMM is, but he's on the downslide while Bradley is coming into his peak and at his peak weight. Too fast for JMM and too late for JMM to take a fight like that at that weight at this stage in the game for him.

    You must have posted about three seconds before me, Kirk. Darn you for robbing me of the first reply honor. :twisted:

    Would probably look a lot like JMM - Diaz only Bradley would be able to hurt Marquez more than Diaz did.

    Good post Kirk, on the other hand though, Bradley has never been in the ring with a counter-puncher on the same level as Marquez. Holt showed that there are certainly gaps in his defence that can be exploited. The competitiveness of this fight is dependant on how much Marquez has left in the tank. I'm hoping that gaining all that weight for the Mayweather fight didn't take too much out of him.

    If the JMM that beat Casamayor and Diaz shows up then I'd expect this fight to be a total war and I'd make Marquez a very live underdog.

    if JMM were to take on Bradley at this stage of his career. It would be a very ballsy move on his part.

    Great fight,dont know how much JMM has left or if he will be effective at 140 so i would probably pick Bradley by decision.

    hmm says . . .

    i'm thinking TB will overwhelm JMM but if JMM's chin or whatever holds he maybe able to pull a decision. I got the ninja turtle on this one..

    No doubt and JMM is a ballsy guy, but I hope he doesn't.

    I think the Bradley that showed up last night would beat Marquez. But this would be a crazy good fight. Bradley UD.
