How great was Pacquiao in Barrera 1

Eh MAB may have been slightly past it but after he lost to Pac, he beat Erik morales in the rubber match. That Morales would end up beating Pac. So I'd say this is probably Pac's best win.

Reiterating, in boxing history fighters that have war trilogies like MAB and Morales did, they're never the same. They always leave something in the ring. I watched a lot of MAB and Morales when they were on the rise and they just weren't the same after. Morales peaked early because he turned pro early and took a lot of damage throughout his career. After he beat Pac the first time he was legit toast. The Raheem fight, Morales would never have lost that a few years earlier. He was really doughy in the fight and visibly done.

Cope lol

There's always an excuse

We know you gargle with Manny's balls every morning and Duran would eliminate Pacquiao so I expect females like you to throw some kicks and pompoms when someone says your quarterback isn't as good as your wet poossy thinks it is. Scarm kid, I got shet to do.

No I agree, wars like MAB/Morales can leave a lot from a fighter. But I'm talking about Morales vs Barrera 3. That fight happened after Pac/Barrera 1. Barrera may not have been at his peak, but he was still good enough to beat Morales in the rubber match. And that Morales had that one great performance because afterwards he was able to beat Pacquiao in the first meeting.

Pac/Morales 2 and 3 were pointless and meaningless wins because Morales was washed, and weight drained. I would never argue otherwise.

I won't argue too hard Morales still wasn't his best in the third MAB fight, but man after you fight a guy two times you kind of know what he's got in the bag of tricks know what I mean? If I remember correct that was a disputed win and razor close. Hard to say who won without seeing it again because I haven't seen all three fights since they happened. Maybe best trilogy of all time.
