    i can't think of any fighter that responds to punches with counters as fast as barerra. it's like if you land a clean shot on him, he's landing it right back before you can form any kind of defense or offense in doubling up. i also think that it is a natural gift because he does it so well.

    morales is up there with him as mentioned before but barerra holds that title of being the fastest to let you have it with a counter after being hit, its amazing to watch, especially since watching him fight you know its going to happen.

      Barrera is probably the best out of this generation. Mike MaCullum and James Toney used to be pretty good in their prime.The fights b/w them were so close too.

        Pacman better be training harder then he as ever had. Barrera improves with each fight. I still think Pacman will win, but would I be surprised if Barrera got the upset? Nope, Barrera is an insane counter puncher if you saw his fight against jmm. And he was robbed in that fight. He was countering and dodging perfectly. Barrera should be hatton's sparring partner if Hatton for the floyd fight. Barrera can teach Hatton stuff

            After watching those fights I'd have to agree because Barrera fires back instantly and usually with bad intentions. I was wondering, who else do you think responds to landed punches in such a quick fashion? Or is there someone who does it even faster than Barrera?
            Holyfield at Cruserweight. Watch Holy/Qawi(or Braxton before that). He also showed very good Counterpunching ability versus Bowe,Tyson, and others. He lost most of his reflexes later on, but in prime he was one hell of a counterpuncher!

            As far as the best i ever seen? Toney when he wasn't a slob!

              I'd go with Barrera.. Cotto's getting there. But, we'll see against Mosley.

                I agree, Barrera is the guy I have the most mental pictures of.

                Viciously, accurately and consistantly. Barrera.

                There's a handful of guys who like to answer but none quite like Marco.
