10th anniversary of Pacquaio vs Barrera 1..questions?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

barrera went on to have some good wins after this fight, so it wasnt like he was at the end of his career,,, solid wins over pedan, juarez, morales 3, and i thought he should have beaten jmm if the ref had ruled the knockdown correctly

1b hatton

1c jmm 2


I think the hatton win was terrific because manny is the only guy ever to beat hatton at 140 for the lineal title,, plus he just destroyed hatton in brutal fashion,, i cant recall a lineal champ losing his title in such fashion

Was bad Chad lineal when Adonis wrecked him?

If you could go back to PAC 130 days and say he's going to one day move up and terrorize the welterweight beating guys like Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, and even scaring Mayweather, peps would say you're a ******. Not a chance at all .

exactly,,, I remember when he was going to fight morales and people thought that 130 would be too big for him, and that manny would get ko'd in higher weights,,

said the same thing about the diaz fight at 135,,,


But now they all ***** about cotto's 145 CW and margs wasnt even a CW,, it was 2 welters going to 150 for some crappy vacant belt

huge props to manny for going up in weight

Yeah, I don't think a lot were following boxing (on here anyways) but back in the early 2000s Manny was a HUGE 130 lb'er. Even bigger than Morales when he moved up to fight those guys.

I remember he and Diaz were both welterweights on fight night and I was like WTF is going on lol

see i remember the exact opposite,,, I remember their being a big deal about the weight, and manny was going to high and his power and speed wouldnt be the same,, and their was also alot of talk about the gloves used in manny-morales....

i do remember when he fought diaz,, and yes fight night he was pretty big, and the whole 130 discusion seemed silly in retrospect

i thought 135 was a mistake


then he beats Diaz and i was like 'ok, just stay there'


then DLH wanted a WW fight...Oscar ****ed that division up

People who don't think the weight was considered a big deal only need to look up the HBO broadcast on YouTube or wherever.

Oscar is the devil. Without him, Mayweather stays at 140 and never becomes Money, Pacquiao eventually moves up, and they fight in 2008 or 2009 and put on a classic.
