That's a bit of a dopey argument. Marquez may not be a natural WW, but he's still better at the weight than anyone Brook or Thurman has beat and probably them too at the time, considering he was top 4 or 5 p4p.
So, if Khan beats Canelo (God forbid), does that mean it doesn't count because he's not that weight?
JMM is not a good welterweight. Fact which is why Brooks crew wanted to fight him. Easy fight and big name.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
So you say it's who you beat that determines if you are good but Bradley beat a much much better fighter than anyone Thurman has beaten but it doesn't count because Marquez isn't a good welterweight.
But again Marquez beat a much much better fighter than anyone Thurman has fought by beating Pacquiao.
Are you going to say that doesn't count either? How many better fighters do we need to list before who they actually beat matters? How much do you allow yourself to pick and choose what counts FFS?
Yeah, NOW he is. He's virtually retired with dodgy knees and over 40. The fact that a Brook or Thurman would look for him as an opponent tells us more about them.
I like Brook, gone off Thurman a bit, but these fuckers need to fight somebody relevant. They want to be called the best without actually going out and fighting anyone.
Something you could never ever label Bradley with.
