...as good as the Morales/Barrera trilogy if the 'Grand Finale' is as good as the first two? I think it would be, most definitely. The second Barrera/Morales fight wasn't as good as the other two, both the Morales/Pacquiao fights so far have been great and the first one was only deprived of FOTY 2005 by Castillo/Corrales.
I know it seems a little pedantic, but I've been watching the five fights a lot recently and the excitement is similar in both.
What do you think?
even if the 3rd fight between morales and pacman is good, i still dont think this trilogy will be better than the barrera vs morales trilogy.
first of all barrera and morales HATE eachother, this just added to the drama of the fights, this trilogy is very unique as all 3 fights were for world titles and all 3 fights between barrera and morales took place in 3 different weight classes at 122lbs, 126lbs and 130lbs, i dont think this has ever happened before. 2 out of the 3 fights were fight of the year candidates (im sure the first fight won fight of the year), plus if im honest i really dont think the 2nd fight was that bad, it started slow, but from the 6th round onwards it was a really good fight. what added to the drama was that the first fight was contraversial, and so was the second fight contraverisal, although after the second fight, 1-1 was about even, alot of people diagreed witht the decisions, barrera should of won the first fight and perhaps morales deserved the second fight, and the 3rd fight was just as good and the outcome was correct without controversy this time with barrera getting the win
MAB vs Morrales was better because both fighters were in the prime of their careers. Pacman is in his prime and Morrales is on the backside of his career. Pacman is gonna hand out a beat down in the third fight as well.
By a mile is a bit of an overstatement. I can see your Mexican pride but in fairness Morales and Pacquiao hate each other now and if the third fight is great then all three would have been awesome, rather than two of the three like in the Barrera trilogy.
First I don't let the race shit enter any of my post.
I don't know if manny and morales hate twords each other will be as big as MAB vs Morales. If it is even hate there. I know morales has hate but I'm not to sure about manny.
The second fight between mab and morales was still a great fight just not as good.
For a good trillogy you need to have good drama like all 3 morales vs MAB fights. Manny beating the crap out of morales in the second one was fun but after a point it became one sided. The weight issue for morales is adding drama but I'm not going to let it get to me and say its a good fight, when manny might come out and work him again.
Drama out side of ring yeah ill give it to pacman and morales
Drama in the forum ill give that to pac vs morales since every body likes to make it about race
But in the ring ill have to give it to morales and MAB.
Pacman morales 1 could of been fight of the year. The second one was one sided and also morales was comeing out of a fight were he was outboxed so manny beating him was expected(in my book anyways)
I would have to say at this point mab vs morales has been a better trillogy. 2 out of the 3 fights were fight of the year.
Manny made the second fight one sided. The first 2 mab vs morales fights were close they could have gone either way, mab clearly winning the 3rd. The fact that morales and MAB really don't like each other makes it that much better.
If the 3rd fight comeing up is a close fight action packed fight you might be able to make an argument for it to compete.
For now MAB vs morales is the better trillogy by a mile

if the third ones a classic like the first, then i would say that its better!!!
but thats mostly because i think the PACMAN at his best has alot more exciting style then barrera at his best
