    That's tough. Marquez is the more skilled and fundamentally better than Bradley. But the great Marquez only shows up when he fights Pacquiao, otherwise he is beatable as Bradley showed.

    Dear god, it's not even close. Marquez is an ATG fighter, one of the best of the last 20 years. Bradley is decent champion, borderline HOFer at best. Two different levels.

    Marquez is greater ATM by far, but Bradley may have a ways to go. He's 10 years younger than Marq, and probably in a better state than Marquez was when he was 31.

    Bradley is very underrated IMO and for the most part fights he was supposed to lose ends up winning. I think his fights with Pacman were alot closer than most people suggest. The first half of the rematch it looked like Bradley really was going to pull off the upset, no excuses this time, but then for the first time, I saw him give up or let off the accelerator. I guess he resigned or just couldn't keep up that pace and its unfortunate cuz he was easily on Pacquiao's level those first 4 rounds. Outside of Floyd and Pacquiao I don't see anyone else beating Bradley at 147.

    He has one of the best active resumes in the sport

    Marquez
    Provodnikov
    Alexander
    Peterson
    Abregu
    Holt
    Witter
    Chaves



    He's not an ATG, but he already borderline HOF worthy, which is not bad for a 31 year old (young in today's day and age).

    Bradley is a better boxer but Marquez's resume is much better

    Marquez and it's not even close. Let's see how Bradley's career ends before we revisit this.

    Bradley at the moment with only 34 fights compared to Marquez who has 64 fights.
    It would be better to answer that question when Bradley has more fights and depends on who he fights in the future.

    Bradley has defeated some good fighters.

    - JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ.
    - Ruslan Provodnikov.
    - Joel Casamayor.
    - Devon Alexander.
    - Luis Abregu.
    - Lamont Peterson.
    - Nate Campbell.
    - Kendall Holt.
    - Junior Witter.

    :lol: Casa was as washed up as he could be.
    And Provodnikov is FNF.

    Bradley is a heck of a talented boxer tho, i give you that much :good
    Too bad that he puts too much emotion into some of his fights.

    if he had a better promoter early on in his career and put these fights on bigger stage, he would be as big as pac or floyd now.

    He never had that star quality and he still doesnt. Pacquiao and his insane war with Provodnikov got him the fame he has.
