H2H means a fighter in his prime vs a 41 year old re who is greater? I wouldn't exactly call it a schooling. 115-113 Marquez, 115-113 Bradley, 116-112 Bradley Prime Marquez > Prime Bradley
Not only did it not happen, I scored it for Marcos. I could see a draw, or a narrow Tim win. But schooling ? Never happened.
Well this is the thing, really, when you get right down to it. If we go on effective aggression, JMM has the edge. But Timmy edges in AFFECTIVE agression. The tie-breaker here is , as you've surmised, the C O-O-O-O-O L factor. One guy is Mr. Ice. The other drinks pish. So you can see who takes it if it's close.
Big fan if both guys Scored their fight for Bradley Gotta say overall it's Marquez but if Bradley stays high level til he's JMMs age he can surpass him I do think if Bradley goes to 154 he will fail
Styles. Bradley has the tools to out box JMM. However, I promise you JMM would not "draw" with Chavez. (even tho I had Bradley winning by 2 rds). JMM is by far the greater of the 2.
Is this a joke? When young Desert Storm picked up his first meaningful victories, over Vázquez and Witter (only first beginning to capture the world's attention with the latter), a 3-4 year novice, Dinamita was already 14-15 years deep in a career that was even then good enough to secure a spot in Canastota.
The greatest h2h bantamweight of the last decade-plus? I think not. Bradley is 10-1 (1) in world title bouts, facing some very fine opposition, true. Rafa, however, was 8-0 (6) in his IBF run at his prime weight, dominating very good fighters even if they aren't household names like some of the ones Bradley defeated, and then moved up and beat the reigning super bantam champ and perhaps third-best all time at that weight, before losing the eventual trilogy and later going off-rails battling larger men well past his prime.
For the record I'm a huge Bradley fan, but he isn't a pimple at the base of a hair sticking outta Nacho Beristain's schnoz - let alone on the ass of either Marquez bro.
I'll be honest, when the fight happened I was rooting for Marquez but was puzzled by the scores. I thought Barrera might have edged it.
Barrera was robbed in that one for me. He knocked Marquez down and everything. Also he was past it when they fought.
