Gatti - Ward was just about boxing, it was never personal. With EM and MAB it was about how Mexico isn't big enough for both of them. i really like what m00ks said on the other thread how there never is a clean war, and these 3 fights were a war. Gatti and Ward are buddies now and have nothing but admiration for each other's heart, which is the way it should be, but i can't see things going much different had things gone the other way in the case of EM and MAB. Arturo Gatti never talked trash about Ward on tv before they fought, there's just real bad blood between EM and MAB and probably always will be. i think Morales doesn't hate Barrera because of the fights, or probably even because of the fouls, but because MAB dissed him so much on national tv and talked about him like he was monkey.
Where does Barrera place p4p?

The only good thing about these fights were that they weren't like Gatti-Ward with all the bull**** hugging and touching gloves. These two hated each other and that's what made the event worth watching. I'm glad they didn't start making out after it was over like Gatti did with Ward...

So true! I just meant that it would be nice if they had walked away with some mutual respect for one another...not necessairly be buddies, but give each other credit cause on their own theyre both fun to watch, but with each other they dynamite!Originally posted by beeatch!Gatti - Ward was just about boxing, it was never personal.

Respect his abilities, chin, determination, dedication during training, heart, control and much more. Fouls? No. That seems to be the focal point here, right. Everybody making a federal case out of me saying I dont like fouls? Which is why I answered you.Originally posted by Hurlexsorry i have not been here ppl...anyway...WHAT DID I SAY!!!..yeah MAB...told u all (well some of u close minded ******s lol) that he wasnt done..anyway...MAB will always be remembered as one of the best..i mean if he beat JMM/PAC winner he might even make it into top 5..anyway...thing is..MAB could face pac in a rematch get ko'ed in 2 rounds..but in 20 years will be remembered and pac wont...fighter like MAB have that heart that fans love..and if you cant respect him not anyone in particular just others on here) then i dont know how you can call ur self a boxing fanComment

gotta admit, though, if MAB faces Pac again, i wouldn't be surprised if Pac does win again, but maybe not as lopsided as the first one. After the first fight, i started wondering if Pac just has Barrera's number, MAB's style doesn't do well against big punchers who are faster than himComment

Actually Barrera went up to shake Morales hand before the decision.Originally posted by tracyleeI wish they could have ended up like Gatti-Ward, but thats not gonna happen obviously. It does make me wonder if the decision had gone the other way, would Barrera have shaken Morales' hand (assuming Erik offered) and / or would he offer still to shake Morales' hand. Confusing enough??
