    Bigger win for Morales?

    Okay, just so we can get this out of the way from the get go... if you think Barrera was robbed in the first fight against Morales, then you probably think Morales was robbed in the second fight, so... if that's the case, then just compared the second Barrera fight with the first Pacquiao fight, okay?

    Anyway, I'm curious which one does the better work for his resume at the end of the day.
    41
    Barrera I (or Barrera II if you do the robbery thing)
    9.76%
    4
    Pacquiao I
    85.37%
    35
    Abstaining because I just want to see the poll results
    4.88%

    I think the first Pacquiao fight, Pacquiao went on to become the pound for pound best in the world and it was a clear win for him, many people believe he lost the first Barrera fight.

        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Lol, I addressed that in the first post. Most people also believe he won the second Barrera fight, so they are interchangable.

        But if you think Pacquiao > Barrera I or II, whichever you go for, then... all is well.

          The Pacquiao performance was better than both the first and second Barrera fights IMO.

            yeah. the barrera fights were very close, the first manny fight wasn't. no one is arguing that manny really won morales - pac 1 where anyone can argue either barrera or morales won either fight

              Pacquuao still lost to a old slow morales, old slow morales lost 2 of his last 3 fights(Old Barrera and raheem beat erik) till pacquiao finally beat old slow morales (pacquiao was beaten by old slow morales in that span),

              A old slow Morales out of prime morales beating a prime Pacquiao by the dominating fashion he did it was bigger than the barrera fight because the Morales that beat pac was no longer a prime morales, just a old and slow morales that straight beat a prime pac

                Disagree. The version of Erik that beat Pac in their first fight was far from old and slow.

                  is that why he lost to barrera without question in the third barrera fight, and prior to pacquiao beating morales, morales lost in dominating fashion to Zahir raheem, a nobody

                    Exactly, the Pacquiao fight was clear cut, even though I thought Morales won the second, it's a debatable decision.

                    Past prime, yes. Old and slow, no.
