floyd looked UNBEATABLE against corrales
Which win is more impressive, Mayweather vs Corrales or Pacquiao vs Barrera 1?

Barrera is overrated and limited.
He can't punch, he's not a virtuoso like Floyd, he's not particularly fast and his boxing skills aren't elite.
He's mediocre.
Chico had power and a huge size advantage. Mayweather embarrassed and stopped him.
How is beating a harder opponent in better fashion not more impressive?
is so funny how ***** talk sweet science is being the best.
yes we have sugar ray leonard, pernel or mayweather but we also have fighter like marciano, joe frazier and pacman in ATG list.
JUST SKILL DOESNT ENOUGHComment

Both great victories but as far as where the opponent was in their careers Pacquiao's victory over Barrera has to be ranked over Mayweather's victory over Corrales.
Corrales had yet to accomplish much in his career at the time and Barrera was considered in the top three P4P on alot of peoples list and alot of media and people picked Barrera to outbox Pacquiao to a relatively easy decision.Comment

Manny was an unknown who burst on the scene with a performance against a known warrior, elite fighter and veteran, and then proceeded to stop him.
Mayweather was just as known as Corrales and only got a stoppage because Chicos dad felt he wasn't trying hard enough.
Clearly its Manny.Comment

There's no justification for these people they're clearly bias some of them post decently but this poll is not even up for debate. Cmon
The Corrales and Barrera fight? At least i wont vote on a poll if it would clearly indicate a negative point to my fighter instead of voting for clear fanboyism.Comment

Really hard to say one is better than the other. Barrera is the better fighter, but the number of knockdowns Mayweather scored makes up for that.
I'll say Pac, because it was probably far more unexpected.Comment

I can't believe there is an argument in this thread about whether Corrales or Barrera was the better fighter. Wow. Name me one win Corrales had that can approach what Barrera did.Comment

Well that's what happens when you boxrec and google stuff instead of actually following the sport during that time. Hell most of those guys think Barrera was shot (which is d@mn near comical) when Manny fought him, just because the boxrec'd and fought out he has two losses to Junior Jones prior to that.Last edited by Khalid X; 02-09-2011, 08:33 AM.Comment

Corrales was just a guy who was getting outboxed by Garcia until Garcia fought dumb and beat an very mediocre fighter in Angel Manfredy. Outside of that, he had done absolutely nothing.
How Corrales is even on the level of Barrera is beyond me. Hell even after losing to floyd and going on to have the career he has had, Corrales still isn't a HOF fighter. Solid fighter but nothing more. The only reason he will get into the HOF is due to his death, the fact that boxing has such poor standards, and his exciting fight with Castillo.
Again no disrespect to Chico and his fans, but that the truth as far as I'm concerned.Comment

Historically Barrera > than Corrales. Having said that Floyd put on a dominant performance. Corrales actually hit him with a few bombs which Floyd shrugged off easily.
At 130 Corrales would prob best Barrera too.
So it's difficult to say isn't it??Comment
