    Most of the fighters Bradley beat were not at the tail end of their careers. They were still in their prime.

    - Pacquiao was on a 7 year, 15 fight winning streak, top 2 P4P at the time.
    - Witter was 37-1 (only loss to prime Judah) & WBC light welterweight champ.
    - Campbell was the unified lightweight champ.
    - Marquez was coming off the best win of his career, top 5 P4P at the time.
    - Rios was coming off the best performance of his career.

    BTW,

    Bradley took the 0's of Peterson, Alexander, Abregu & Vargas.

    Now lets take a look at Garcia's resume

    -2012 version of Morales was a shot fighter, fighting in his 5th weight class at the time, lost to Maidana in 2011, last significant win in 2005.

    -2013 version of Judah was past his prime, stopped by Khan in 2011, last significant win in 2010.

    -2016 version of Malignaggi was coming off a TKO loss, way past his prime & never beat an elite fighter.

    -2016 version of Guerrero was past his prime, went life and death against Martinez, lost to Thurman in 2015, last significant win in 2012.

    -2011 version of Holt was past his prime, 2-2 in his last four fights, lost to Kaizer Mabuza in 2010.

    -2011 version of Campbell was on a 2 fight losing streak when he took on Garcia.

    Garcia's resume is a perfect example of how fighting the right names at the right times can make a resume look better than it is.

    I would say Clear Bradley but not like someposters are making it seem. For one, the Pacquiao win was a robbery

    Bradley is the BOSS.

    No argument about it. Herrera took Garcia's soul and cojones.

    Bradley. Win over Marquez is better than anything Danny has ever done.

    Bradley is probably a future HOF.

    This is a good thread! Straight forward, discussing the facts, no bias, without the childish comments! This is what this website used to be like 11 years ago when I first came here!

    I will go with Bradley! Aside from the first Pac fight, he has won fights without much contraversy. can't say the same thing about Garcia. Garcia does however have a damn good resume for being young.

    That goes equally, (actually more so) for pac.
    One just has to understand the game to know whats up.

    Dsg beating Matty is far better than anything bradley had done, or anything Bradley had failed to do.

    Bradley has the better list of names. The only thing that Garcia has over him was actually going lineal at 140, which Bradley failed to do when he turned down the Khan fight to sign with Top Rank and get Pacquiao.
