Could MAB, Morales or Marquez beat Mayweather @ 130 Lbs?

There you have it, Barrera was in his prime in the 2nd Pacquaio fight

Get a ****ing clue, man.

You don't even know what prime means.

A fighter has a off night he is past his prime, a fighter loses a bit of speed he past his prime, a fighter loses a fight, he is past his prime.

Wait a minute, who said Barrera was in his prime in his 2nd fight against Pac?

I hope it wasn't D4th...

There were many thing Barrera improved on from the first fight and before then.

If a Barrera pre 2003 takes on Pacquiao that night he get KOed, but this is considered a prime Barrera and the one that loses a close UD to Pacquiao is past prime.

People like to throw the past prime, prime label around too much, the slightest dip in form and they are past their prime, a lost to a great fighter and they are past their prime.

i voted morales, among the three mexicans, could eke out a win over floyd at 130 not because of any previous good sparring result erik had vs floyd...

both mab & jmm are more of a counter-punching fighters like floyd is...

i chose erik as i think he could exert the most pressure on floyd when he attacks specially with his jabs

There is not eeking out a UD against Floyd. The man that beats him has to knock him out. Too versatile. Erik was the easiest to hit clean out of them all which made him the most exciting in my opinion.

Barrera didnt fight to win. He fought to not lose badly. Definitely past prime but still a good win for Pac with one dimension.

Barrera did fight to win, and did you see the MAB vs Marquez fight, MAB was unlucky to come away with the loss, with the knockdown being missed.

Barrera got into a **** load of wars early in his career. eventually by 1996-96 he was getting really bad headaches. MAB went to get a check up with his doctor,he had brain surgery which he fought with metal plates in his head (to protected the blood vessels in his brain that were worked on because of a genetic disorder) since 1997. That which eventually cause him to change styles, he had to preserve himself as much as he could. For a sport that depends on reflexes and throwing blows to the head, you got to be delusional to think that he didn't loose his prime right then and there, when doctors have to split your head to fix your brain.
This just shows how much balls MAB has.

I saw the fight a few times and the KD was legit but there's no replays in boxing. Very competitive fight but a totally different beast from Pacquiao. Usually when guys are past prime timing is an issue and fighters with speed and pressure are gonna give the best of them more trouble than the technicians.

Would have liked to see that fight actually. His fight with Leonard Dorin is crazy underrated.

I think the barrera the fought kenedy mckenney would give a good fight to floy,

but lets get real floy has never lost a virtual fight in boxingscene

[Chups]

Not at 130....but Floyd would get smashed at Superbantamweight.
