barrera vs pacquiao 1
i still cant watch this fight to this day! Barrera is my favourite fighter of all time and to see him utterly dominated was hard for me to take. i remember watching this match thinking barrera is just going to walk through pacman and this was just a warm up fight before he would eventually fight morales for a 3rd time. barrera had lost fights before - his first fight with morales (even though i think he won that fight) and his losses to junior jones, but at least he fought back and had his moments in all of those fights he lost, but it was the way he lost this fight to pacman still hurts me to this day.
barrera just got dominated from the 3rd round up until the 11th round in a way i have never seen. at that stage in barreras career he seemed unbeatable, was the number 1 featherweight at the time having beaten naseem hamed and erik morales, and pacman just took everything from him that night, he was just too fast too powerful and barrera could not figure him out at all and looked confused. the moment barrera got dropped with the straight left from manny in the 3rd round he was in full retreat mode the entire fight until his corner stopped the fight in the 11th round, and just didnt know how to handle pacman. pacman took the fight out of barrera that night and to this day, i still think this is pacmans best performance against another fighter.
I just hate how people imply that Pacquiao should rematch Barrera............Pacquiao is the one who totally dominated and destroyed Barrera, thus, imo, people should be implying that Barrera NEEDS to rematch Pacquiao..........Pacquiao is the KING of the two divisions and people should be challenging him.
even though barrera is my favourite fighter, i agree with this post 100%, barrera needs pacman, pacman dont need barrera.
as for morales, i dont think he should retire like some people have suggested. i mean he took a lot of punishment tonight, but if he has a long rest, he can come back. look at barrera as an example, MAB has been written off so many times and he keeps on coming back, nearly everyone wrote barrera off after he got destroyed by pacman but look at him now, hes top of the 130lbs division, got 2 belts, came back and beat morales. i just hope he fights pacman by the end of this year.
mannys constant body attack is what broke el terrible down. He may have a hard time making 130 but i do believe he was in very good shape for the shape. Pac was the better man
exactly. mannys body attacks is what won this fight in my opinion, he was rippin morales to the body and it all eventually took its toll on him, i mean if you look at rounds 9 and 10 before he KO's morales, manny hits morales to the body a couple of times and morales just drops his hands, you see that morales aint even got his gloves up, hes just too hurt.
If anyone saw the Sky sports telecast of the fight, at the end he was interviewed by what seemed to be Mario Lopez(from Saved by the Bell), and he asked Manny if he'd ever like to fight Juan Manuel Marquez again, and Manny replied, if he goes to 130lbs, sure. :boxing:
i saw this too bro, AC SLATER LOL/mario lopez asked him who he wants to fight, pacman said barrera, then he asked pacman if he wants marquez and pacman replied he will fight JMM if he moves up to 130lbs, do you think JMM will move up in weight??
if he does and wants to fight pacman, he can have no complaints about the money he will recieve for this fight, manny pacquiao is the main draw for this fight if it comes off after what he did to morales.
hopefully we will get JMM moving up to 130lbs, hes just wasting himself at 126lbs
barrera suffered the worst beating, at least morales made it competitive up until round 6. barrera got absolutely destroyed, i watched the fight about 2 days ago to see who got the worst beating out of MAB and morales, MAB only won 1 round against pacman, it was definatly barrera who got beaten up worse and the punch stats comfirm this:
barrera vs pacman:
total punches landed:
barrera - 172 out of 547 = 31%
pacman - 309 out of 838 = 37%
jabs:
barrera - 71 out of 285 = 25%
pacman - 52 out of 268 = 19%
power punches:
barrera - 101 out of 262 = 39%
pacman - 257 out of 570 = 45%
Total Punches
Morales: 184 of 644, 29%
Pacquiao: 196 of 795 25%
Power Shots
Morales: 107 of 321, 33%
Pacquiao: 171 of 537, 32%
now consider this, pacman landed more POWER SHOTS on barrera compared to his total punches on morales which includes jabs and power shots!! pacman landed 196 punches on morales, but pacman landed over 300 punches on barrera and they were mostly all power shots. he hit barrera over 100 more times than morales.
so in order of worst beatings i would go with:
1. barrera
2.morales
3.JMM - he actually did alright after the first 2-3 rounds, he was able to neutralize pacmans left hand.
i saw PBF doin that alot when pacman was beatin up morales, the joke thing was that bob arum was sitting in front of PBF, bob arum must have been pissed that a fighter he promotes was cheering for his man to lose.
i personally dont think morales should retire, however if he does then here is no shame in that, he is a LEGEND, a HOF fighter and was definatly one of the best boxers in the last 10 years, how many fighters can say they were at the top or near the top for 10 years, i definatly give morales his respect and this is comin from a massive barrera fan.
morales can still come back and win another title, hes only29 years old, i know he has been in a lot of wars but you cant count morales out after a loss, give him time to reat and heal up and he will come back strong. in his last 4 fights he has lost 3 of them, but in all honesty there is NO SHAME whatsoever in losing to barrera, pacman and a very underated raheem, all morales does is test himself, looks for the biggest fights out there, the guys gonna be missed when hes gone, i feel hes a bit underappreciated for what he has done for boxing too. youve heard of the saying "you dont know what you got until its gone" i feel us boxing fans will get htat feeling when morales hangs it up.
morales however will have trouble making 130lbs and he did look sluggish against raheem at 135lbs, i cant see him fighting people at a catch weight of 132 1/2 lbs so perhaps hes body is telling him enough is enough???
i might sound crazy saying this, but if morales wants to come back then it should only be for 2 things, the first option would be to try and avenge his loss to pacman and have a third fight, morales has what it takes to beat pacman, he has proved that already, and the 2nd one is to try and get a belt at lightweight and beome the first (or maybe 2nd if barrera beats chavez) mexican to win titles in 4 weight classes.
Before last night's fight, Pac is already #4 in the Ring Magazine P4P list behind MAB, Winky and PBF. Some people may have to argue if Pac should surpass MAB for the #3 spot after last night.
i agree, id have pac ahead of barrera at no.3 and then id have barrera at no.4.
Morales is, Barrera isn't. Not unless he rematch PAC and beat him.
I admire this guy because he is fearless. A true Mexican.
I spit on Marquez and Barrera for being pussies and cowards.
come on man, you might be mad that barrera hasnt and might not ever fight pacman again, but you sayin barrera is not a hall of fame fighter holds no weight, it might be your opinion but if you look at barreras career, the fighters he has beaten and his acomplishments, then you will realize, whether you like it or not, that he is a first ballot hall of fame fighter, just like morales.
barrera has beaten good and great opposition over his boxing career, he is a 3 weight world champion, he could possibly be the first mexican to hold titles in 4 weight divisions, yet you say he aint a hall of fame fighter???? barrera has only lost to good or great fighters, not bums. theres no shame in that. i want barrera to rematch pacman just like you and many other people, but even if he dont, at the moment he is a legend, hall of fame fighter, and his achievements right now is better than pacmans. by the time pacmans career is over he might have the better accomplishments but right now barrera would go into the hall of fame before pacman.
*gets ready for the hate im about to recieve from pacman fans* :(
in my opinion JMM shouldnt be even in the top 10 P4P list, or he should at least be around 9 or 10, i mean no disrespect, he is a good boxer but what has he accomplished and who are his signature wins against??? there not top level guys in my opinion.
there could be a strong case that pacman could be number 2 on that list, i mean hes KO'd both barrera and morales and got a draw against JMM. these accomplishments for me are better than winky wrights 2 wins over mosely and trinidad.
i think PBF is a fan of pacman but he also has some beef with morales, this is what he had to say about morales in a recent interview with BOXINGTALK, i bolded the parts where he talks about morales:
SlickNick: and how did you feel seeing Morales get TKO'd?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I told everybody who was around me and with me that Pacquiao was going to stop Morales. Pacquiao brings a lot of energy to the ring and he's a fighter that's exciting and good for boxing, just like myself.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I didn't bet on him, but I really wanted him to win because he's been fighting the odds just like me.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: He's real exciting and he comes to bring it every time he fights. I really like that.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Me and Morales have a personal beef.
MAYWEATHER#1P4P: Floyd, im so glad to hear that the judah fight is still on, baldomir sure as hell didnt deserve to fight you, and neither did bumarito so thanks for sticking with zab cause he got robbed anyway. would you be willing to meet morales or pac at a catchweight
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: You got to be kidding me, right? You saw Floyd Mayweather at 130 and you see these guys. As much as I respect Pacquiao, I'm sure you see the difference.
Celtic1888: Not so long ago you were Super-Featherweight champion, how would you have fought Manny Pacquaio and what all time great would u like to fight (whats ur beef with Morales)?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: I would have done the things that Floyd Mayweather does. Morales’s corner never made any adjustments throughout the fight. From ringside, you can see Pacquiao had a different plan and Morales’s corner never made any adjustments.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Morales has been in too many wars and his body is starting to break down.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Morales don't like me because I'm undefeated and he can't tie my shoe strings.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: He said something very disrespectful to me, but being the bigger man is easy when you’re watching these guys from ringside.
weedman: floyd please....saying morales cant tie your shoes is disrepecting a legend in this sport...and no disrepect to you but i bet he could give you a fight at 135....honestly i would rather see you fight smaller guys like morales and corrales....maybe even bar
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: All I can say is one thing, of course he's a future hall of famer, but he's not on my level. I'm a different fighter. All he has to do is call Bob if he wants to fight me. Bob would tell him “ain't no way in hell I'll put you in with Mayweather”
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: If Bob pays me enough, I'll beat Morales and Cotto and they could tag in and out like wrestlers.
who he thinks wll win regarding pacman and MAB.....
Bronxwarrior: Pacquiao or Barrera in a rematch?
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Pacquiao most definitely. Another stoppage.
FLOYD_MAYWEATHER_JR: Barrera is a great fighter, but Pacquiao is unbelieveable.
looks like has some beef with morales.
in the first fight, pacquiao looked really tired after about 4 rounds. he usually has stamina for 12 rounds throwing non stop punches. pacman needs to also work the body a lot more this time round, he was doin so well in the first 2 rounds attackin morales' body. this fight is too close to call. if pacman wins i think it will be on points, no one has ever KO'D morales in his whole career and i cant see that happening anytime soon, unless he fights someone like corrales or castillo at 135lbs.
if pac loses to morales again, barrera should still face him, barreras got pride and he said he had reasons as to why he lost to pacman, so let him get in the ring and erase those reasons and some doubts that people have of him gettin destroyed by pacman. even if morales wins, there is no need for a 4th fight with barrera, barrera has proved he is the betetr fighter, move on, the trilogy was great, but barrera needs redemption against pacman. we gotta remember, pacman doesnt need barrera, he shouldnt be doin the chasing, it should be the other way round, MAB needs pacman in my opinon and should be doin all the chasin to get a fight done, even if he loses to morales in january.
and this is comin from a MASSIVE barrera fan.
in their first fight (ive just watched it again about 30 minutes ago) morales was in control of that fight, it was only the first round in which morales was lookin troubled, after the first round he adapted to pacmans style and although he got hit with some quality shots from pacquiao in some of the other rounds of the fight, morales was always in control of that fight. he even switched southpaw in the last round, thats how comfortable and sure he was with himself that he was winning the fight. i think their second fight will be a great fight again, but im still undecided as to whos gonna win.
no hate on mayweather at all but he hasnt even proved himself to be the number 1 in the lightwelerweight division. he needs to try to clean up at 140lbs then fight some top condenders at welterweight/147lbs.
because barrera has said he will fight the winner, i want pacman to win, this way we can see if barrera sticks to his word, seriously barrera is my favourite boxer of all time, he can even retire without facin pacman agin and he will still go down as a legend and a hall of fame fighter..... BUT... there will be a huge question mark if he was scared to face pacman, to me, it seems that pacquiao seems more willing and ready to fight him but barrera dont when it should be the other way round, pacman aint got nothing to prove to barrera, he beat him, its barrera who needs the redemption and the rematch to prove the distractions affected him.
this is what i dont understand, some people were sayin that barrera was fighting bums and he needed to step up his competition, so when he does this against chavez, some people are now sayin that chavez aint all that, no one was sayin chavez wasnt all that when morales faced him, so why now all of a sudden when barreras goin for a 4th weight class title some people are already tryin to say chavez aint a good fighter?? chavez has improved alot in his recent fights and he will bring a very good fight against barrera and could possibly win.
I know that fightas are different, different builds, different capacity. I know all that nah mean? But let's face it, WOULD YOU REALLY GET SCARED fo BARRERA at 135lbs gainst Chavez when he's 3-0 at 130lbs? And last I checked, Chavez jest recently fought once at 135lbs. Even field thurrr IMO.
I know it's a different view, but look at Pacquiao. He started at 106lbs and where he at? He's at 130lbs bout to knock ta fuck out Morales in ta rematch. Same Morales that started as a supa-bantamweight.
You raise good points.
i actually want pacquaio to actually beat morales too when they fight so barrera can have no excuses but to fight him because he will be barreras mandatory, january 21st needs to come quick :boxing:
Chi is tough, no one is sayin he aint. But Barrera is a coward when he has ta opportunity to 1, get a belt at 135lbs gainst Chavez to even solidify his legacy, 2, fight Pacquiao and maybe get revenge fo ta humiliation he received to erase "questions", or 3 fight Barrios to unify belts in which would also help seal ta deal that Barrera is King at 130lbs.
Fightin Chi or Harrison at 126lbs SHOULD BE LAST RESORT. Pac is willing, Barrios is mo willing and same fo Chavez. It's Barrera's choice to be a coward. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with you about the barrios and pacquiao part, barrera should want to fight pacquiao more than any other fighter in my opinion, but to say hes a coward for not fighting chavez is wrong, barrera aint even a 130lbs fighter, why is he gonna fight someone at 135lbs?? even 130lbs is a bit much for barrera, 126lbs is his ideal weight, barrera started out at 116lbs i think, hes body aint built for 135lbs let alone 130lbs, he just cant put the bulk on his body thats needed at 135lbs. to capture 3 titles in 3 weight classes is a great achievement for barrera, i understand he has the opportunity to get a title in a 4th weight class , id even want him to do that, but if he decides not to, it dont mean hes a coward.
Either way, to say that Barrera is a pussy for fighting Chi or Harrison is beyond ignorant.
And YOU are ignoring the fact that Barrera spent the vast majority of his career at 122 or lower.
i agree, barrea can most probably can still make 122lbs if he wanted to, when he comes in on fight night, the highest ive seen him weigh for a fight is around 135lbs, and he was weighing in at around 135lbs on fight night even when he was fighting at 122lbs.
and whats wrong with barrera fighting in jin chi??? no one was complaining when morales fought him, in fact people bring up in jin chi as a good fighter that morales beat, but when barrera has the chance to fight him some people complain, whats with the hate for barrera?? in fact in jin chi has improved a lot since he last fought morales so if barrera did fight him it would be an interesting fight and a good test for MAB.
arums talkin shit, he dont promote pacman so how can he say he aint fighting MAB, arum aint gonna let their be MAB vs morales 4, thats fair enough because of the beef barrera and morales have and the fact that him and dela hoya dont get on.
i dont even think he would let MAB fight morales anyway, thats a fight he can potentially lose again so there is no point in them fighting again.
and arum even said in the past that the only 2 mexican fighters that are PPV are barrera and morales, so i dont no what arums sayin about barrera not bringing in crowds.
i think its PBF, i reckon though if barrera were to beat chavez at 135lbs and beat pacquiao if he fights him again, then id consider putting him above mayweather. right now though PBF is the P4P king.
Why do you feel he is a superior promoter? Both of Barrera's last two ppv fights not good sellers, and this Barrera we are talking about.
do you actually have a figure on each of barreras last 2 PPV's sold?? i heard they were not so high too but ive never seen how much numbers fana and peden did???
its strange because barrera usually is a good draw

thanks man, i appreciate it, ill see what i can do for the tyson fights your after, gotta give you some karma :D
winky wright would jab mayweather to death, it would be winky wright UD.
i still think that PBF is the better boxer but this fight would be too much for him.
Style-wise PAC is a nightmare to Barrera. Consider this, both are sluggers BUT...
PAC is quicker, faster, has more stamina, faster handspeed, stronger punches and that southpaw stance is a nightmare for any slugger.
This is probably the main reason why Barrera has been avoiding PAC all these years, because he knows he can't win.
i here what ya sayin bro but its like barrera has never ducked a challenge before and this for me is his biggest challenge out there in pacman. i honestly dont think barrea is scared i mean he lost to junior jones by KO and came right back to fight him, he lost to morales and fought him 2 more times after that so i dont think barrera is scared, i just think its more of mental thing. Barerra got destroyed that night he fought pacman, a lot of people had barrera near the top of the P4P list, he was seen as the king of the featherweights at 126lbs and pacman just comes along and phycologically opened up that division with his one sided beatin of barrera.
thats the ONLY fight ive seen barrera not want to fight, from round 8 or 9, its like he knew he couldnt win the fight, pacman took his heart that day. the thing is, i honestly think barrera has a chance to beat pacman, i mean if you watch the first 2 rounds of their fight, barrera had a good game plan, kept pacman on the outside with his jabs and countered with his right hand, after he got knocked down in the 3rd round he just got more cautious, its like he didnt wanna risk gettin knocked down again.
even if barrera loses a rematch to pacquiao, i think he will get more respect because he has a least tried to avenge it, rather than avoiding him.
well done marco antonio barrera, he is going for HISTORY!!! and i believe he has what it takes to beat chavez and win another title in a 4th weight class. this is gonna be a great fight. barrera by late KO :boxing:
DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE WILL SEE MORALES VS BARRERA 4??? 4 FIGHTS IN 4 DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL BEEN TITLE FIGHTS!!!
i aint sure if corrales or castillo will stay at 135lbs after this fight, there both killin themselves tryin to make 135lbs, i just dont think their body can take much more at 135lbs, i think they will both go up to 140lbs after this fight or soon after.
