    it was a great win for Mayweather and IMO his best overall performance

    I just think the level at which Barrera was when Manny destroyed him (and yes he destroyed him) was much higher than Diego, this coming from a person who is very endeared to Diego
    well said bro, i cant say more after that ....

      those that said "barrera/morales were unskilled brawlers" are ******ed and i doubt they even saw them fight once.

        How is beating a harder opponent in better fashion not more impressive?
        So you're saying size and power advantage is a great feat? I don't think so.

        If you say it like that, then you should also count Margarito as a more impressive win for Pacquiao which is most definitely not his best win.

        Winning against a bigger and a harder hitting opponent does get you a good win but it is the measure of the overall skill of the fighter that should be looked upon.

          It has to be Barrera. Floyd's performance was extremely impressive. Corrales is not close to Barrera's level though. So it's not a fair comparison...

            These are completely didfferent fights too. Floyd just boxed Corrales' ass off, and Pac ran right through Barrera.

              PBF-Chico.
              hahahaha if morales n mab r chin flailing unskilled brawlers, then what wud u call corrales hahaha!

                but i pick pbf beating coralles. even when barerra fought morales the boxing world
                was saying he was done and finished and thats what 2 3 years before manny fought him.

                barerra wasnt in his prime he jsut had a couple classic battles with morales and strung together some big wins. he did what gatti did before he fought mayweather. built it but when he fought manny he got blitzed. a great win and comming out party for manny but far from the best of barerra. he still had technical skills but this wasnt prime barerra. to say a prime barerra would beat manny i dont think so i still think manny has a style to beat marco. but still wasnt the best barerra.

                but the coralles loyd fought was undefeated knocking everyone out bigger skilled and looked to possibly giving the champion his first lost. floyd was barely touched and made coralles look like nothing in that fight. and to show it was all floyd chico would still go on and do big and great things years and countless fights after that floyd lose even winning one of the greatest fights ever.
                you know absolutely NOTHING about boxing. worst post of the thread so far.

                  EM and MAB were very skilled. Don't what the he'll dudes are talking about. But when PAC fought MAB HR wasn't in his prime.

                    Funny how you call someone an idiot and still couldn't comprehend the question. He asked what win was more impressive, and you start talking about more ko/tkos. You probably didn't even see that fight.

                    Anyways, I have to go with Pac over Barrera because Barrera was just a better fighter than Chico. And LOL at those who said he wasn't skilled. Floyd's performance against Chico was the best I've seen out of him. I mean, the guy put on a boxing show. In the end, both were wonderful performances.

                      Pac vs Barrera was wayyy more impressive. Barrer was a proven P4P and a hall of famer..Chico was overrated. didnt prove anything in his career. undefeated doesnt mean anything..specially with Chico's resume when he fought Floyd was garbage. you can hate all you want but Pac vs Barrera was more impressive specially the way Pac won the fight.
