    I think Canelo is growing into the better win, Bradley was more established at the time, and had a deep resume at 140 before moving up.

    Canelo was/is a younger fighter and is still laying his ground work. I think if Canelo beats Kirkland, Cotto this year which is very likely he'll pass Bradley clearly as the better win.

    You have to think Bradley could arguably be winnless at 147. It's people who think he lost to Provo,JMM,Chaves, & Pac 2x, I don't but that's a true statement. Canelo has had two close one's as well with Trout & Lara.

    Hard to project but if you add
    A draw with Chaves, maybe a win over Bundrage. Alvarez being more active with wins over Angulo, close win over Lara, likely Kirkland an Cotto for Lineal MW, Canelo is passing Bradley.

    They are trying to elevate Pacquiao. If you look at Pacquiao's last opponents Bradley is the best name to pick from. Bradley undefeated in his prime, JMM past his prime with a ko win over PAC. Rios and Algieri never fought at 147' and didn't have any business in the ring with Pacquiao.

    better wins are those that are competitive, no matter how good one fighter is. one sided fights invite suspicion especially if just won on points with no one hurt.

    Bradley was the better win, but it's not going to stop Mr. Mayweather from doing untold damage to millions of boxing fans after he wins in a few weeks.

    The only saving grace is there isn't much overlap between those who suffer the most damage from when Mr. Klitschko wins and those who are damaged by Mr. Mayweather's blowouts. The damage would increase exponentially from both of these stone-cold monsters winning within such a short time span.

    Bradley was ranked 3 P4P. This should answer your question. Though, Mayweather looked better in his performance, I won't lie there.

    Tough one. Floyd's schooling of Legs of Stone is one of the best wins of his career. That said, I feel Pac would beat Canelo more soundly. And Floyd doesn't even have the ballocks to get in the ring with Bradley period, so we'll never know how he might have done against his fellow feather fisted iron chinned boxer. So have to give Pac the nod with his convincing win over Bradley.

    You can't make comparisons like that. Pac had a harder fight with Bradley than Mayweather did with Canelo but the same would be true if the opponents were switched. Canelo might have knocked Pac out and Mayweather would have beat Bradley a lot easier than Pac did.

    Bradley easily. Canelo was green and forced to drain at 152. He also fought a very stupid fight.

    Canelo was beyond drained. Algieri would decision him at that weight.

    It goes both ways. Some people tend to discredit Bradley's achievements to make Pac look like he's been fighting bums.
