    Undoubtedly Tim Bradley. Tim is like two fights away from HOF.

    I'd say Canelo. He has Trout and Lara. Razor thin wins but still.

    Not even close.

    His Marquez win trumps everything and anything on Canelo's resume.

    I think you meant Rios but put Bradley in Bradley's resume

    Nope. Bradley's close SD over a 40 yr old legend is right up there with Canelo's very decisive win over Cotto.

    That 40 year old was p4p #2 or #3 at the time IIRC. He was coming off KO6.

    It's way past Canelo's win over Cotto. Not even close.

    Most of Garcia and Canelo's notable wins are either faded big names or too close to call kind of decisions.

    Between Bradley and Povetkin, I'd go with Bradley for his superb 140 campaign.

    Who cares? He was 40 year old featherweight.

    It doesn't change the fact that JMM was an over the hill 40 year old fighter and Bradley came within a round of losing that fight.

    On the surface, and based on what you mentioned, it's easy to be fooled
    into thinking it was a better win but considering all the circumstances involved, it's fair to say both wins were on a similar level.
