If Manny Pacquaio wins a 4th belt, will he be ranked higher than Morales or Barrera?

[Fox McCloud]

That wasnt Barrera's prime. He was still a p4p level fighter though, that's why its still a great win. Pacquiao always beats MAB anyway.

You don't think 2003 Barrera was prime?

When was Barrera's prime then?

I don't think the 2003 Barrera would lose to Junior Jones, but that is just me.

[VERDUGO]

He already is.
And if you count that Rig MAg belt he won at 126, that would make it 5 belts in five different weight division...that is if he beats David Diaz.

How come this "past their prime" excuse shows up only when people are talking about their bouts with Paquiao? Nobody said anything when Morales and Barrera fought for the 3rd time and when Barrera fought Marquez. Morales only fought once in between the first and rematch with Pacquiao and people are quick to draw that Morales was past his prime the night of the rematch, I mean after the fight. But before the fight those particular people didn't give the Philippino guy a chance. That's ridiculous!

also how come when Morales beat an old ass crusty ass alien looking zaragoza for the wbc they never said ****?

Or how after getting his ass handed to him the 1st time by Pacquiao an oldass past his prime Barrera goes undefeated the next 4 years handing out asswhoopins to plenty of tough young guys in their prime but couldnt hang with abuelito marco

and paulie ayala never been knocked out and marco dropped him with a body shot and looked so crisp.

this was his first fight back from losing to pacman...and he knocked mzonke fana out silly and beat up robbie peden!

I'd make a long post if I wasn't at work, but I still rate Pacquiao just below Barrera and below Morales a bit more. I hold Erik in very high regard, so I feel Pacquiao still has more work to do to be on his level. I also feel that on both men's best nights Erik beats Manny every time.

I'm not nearly as impressed by jumping several weight classes as some of you too.

Who is "they"? You obviously weren't watching boxing back then, what the **** do you know? That fight was seen as a "passing of the torch" fight, so to speak. It was a good win because Erik was a young up and coming fighter and Zaragoza was coming off several successful title defenses. Just like Pacquiao's second win over Morales was a "good" win. Just nothing to hang your whole career on. Erik doesn't, Pacquiao on the other hand does.

[Easy-E]

If it happens , he could and his fans could make that case. He started at flyweight, and now, is fighting at 135. If he wins , that would be very impressive. Along the way, he's beaten the mexican trio of, Marquez,Morales and Barrera. Out of those 3, I'd say Barrera and Morales faced and beat better comp.


But..........Manny is closing in real fast, and with a win could surpass those guys accomplishments.



Yay or Nay................

Absolutly not.
He is fighing DAVID DIAZ.
Please.

[Bogler]

lol. i bet for some of the ppl here even if pac wins over diaz plus over another ltweight like casa, nate or jmm3 plus a win over hatton, THEY still would find some reason not give credit to pac.

[MaYaN_SuN]

your gif makes no sense..............manila glass????????? when was Manny dropped by Marquez? MAnny dropped Marquez 4x, it should be Marquez glass............

lol Yeah, don't comment on my post or anything..

But yeah, I have a feelin Paq doesn't have a chin, I think Marquez has scratched the surface. And Marquez can barely move his upper body like he use to let alone show the speed he once had.

And fightin a bunch of tender old guys and nobody's when there was blatant young and fresh talent out there, meanwhile dude is gettin tagged easily by some of those old vets..Ehhh, I dont know. I'd bet he's got glass in there. The moment he steps up and faces a fast handed version of Marquez...lol People will start talkin about "Paq has horrible technique, etc etc etc..."

I mean you're a ****in moron right? lol Right. So I can't expect you to understand my points. Now Paq is a "beast." But why can't he plow through someone like Marquez? What makes him so tentitive? Somthin tells me he doesn't like gettin countered with a heavy hammer.

lol And look at his face, if Marquez would have followed up, I think it's safe to say Paq would forget if the earth is below or above him.
