Is Bradley's "win" over Pac better than anything Floyd has ever done?

    Was Oscar an 8 weight division champ? Fighter of the Decade? 3 years P4P #1?

    :bart

    And Bradley also "beat" Pac after moving up in weight.

    I was quoting somebody. It's open to interpretation.

    I do believe in edumacation though.

    How so? Has Floyd ever beaten an 8 weight division champ? A Fighter of the Decade? A P4P #1 for 3 years?

    Timmeh has.

    yeah but Pac wasn't the lineal champ like Castillo was. Oscar was P4P #1 for like 3 years at one point as well.

    So, no.

    Pac was a 4 weight division lineal champ. Maybe if you combine Castillo and Oscar you'd have a case. But not for a single fight.

    Either way it's close. Castillo/Oscar were far more dangerous than Pac is now.

    Pac just lost to a tiny junior welter with featherfists for god's sake, and was outboxed by a lightweight only a fight ago.

    At least Oscar and Castillo had won their last fights before Floyd beat them

    Pac had a 7 year winning streak when Bradley beat him. JMM really outboxed Pac? Compubox punch stats don't support that. Slow motion doesn't support it either. If you are going by what the majority say then you have to do the same with Pac-Bradley. Can't have it both ways.

    That's my opinion.

    My question is still legit though. If you believe Bradley truly beat Pac, is it a better win than any of Floyd's wins? If not, tell me one fighter Floyd beat with a better resume than Pac.

    :hey

    Ok cool, Either way it's close. Castillo/Oscar were far more dangerous than Pac is now.

    Pac just lost to a tiny junior welter with featherfists for god's sake, and hardly beat a lightweight only a fight ago.

    I still prefer Mayweather's win over Oscar, Castillo, Corrales than Bradley's over Pac.

    I don't know about that. Well they are both technically better than Pac, but Pacquiao makes up for any technical short comings with speed, power and a higher workrate.

    I will say at the time Corrales posed a much bigger threat to
    Floyd than Bradley posed to Pacquiao. And Floyd absolutely took Corrales to school.

    I just don't think giving a guy his fourth loss warrants "its better than anything Floyd has ever done". I mean Floyd has been a champ for over a decade. Does one win equal that? No, just like Tarver is not better than Roy Jones Jr.

    Cool if they are your personal preferences.

    But the fact remains Pac has a better resume and was higher on the P4P list at the time Bradley fought him. It's close, but not better, especially on paper.
