The Greatest Fighter of Our Era?

[Left Hook Tua]

Did you watch the pre-fight stuff right before the Pac-Barrera I fight?

They were talking about MAB having a steel plate in his head. MAB himself admitted to being unmotivated for that fight and kept comparing a young Pacquiao to himself.

Pac was seen as the young upstart while Barrera was considered a faded champion. 29 is DOG OLD when you started your pro career at 16 years old like MAB did.

yeah you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

barrera had that plate since 1997.

barrera wasn't considered a faded champ.

he just beat hamed and morales and hbo fed him tapia and kelley to showcase him.

pac was nothing but a tuneup for barrera.

malcolm wasn't watching boxing then...its pretty obvious..im getting a 'he started watching in 2006' feel when the guy found out about Floyd

barrera 29, morales 28 = OLD and SHOT

genaro 32, marquez 36, mosley 38 = CAREER DEFINING WINS FOR FLOYD

Barrera I agree, 2003 was the best Barrera I saw (IMO, it's arguable)

But Morales was defintely an old 28. Most defintely passed prime by 2005.

you are leaving out that Barrera decided to retire for a year or so after the Jones losses. not shot in any way.

He was also a huge underdog to Hamed, who was expected to crush him.

A great win that is as underated as the Morales win is over rated.

Why are you purposely leaving out the fact that MAB turned professional at 16 years old?

By the time he faced Pac he was 13 years in. Why are you refusing to comprehend this?

If Bernard Hopkins began his pro career at age 16, do you think he'd still be fighting today at age 50? I doubt it.

Reading comprehension is fundamental.

I started watching boxing when Tyson ko'd Spinks...

Don't confuse me with the legions of Pac worshippers who didn't know boxing existed until Pac vs. Hatton.

pac was not suppose to win barrera fight.

as a pac fan i was just hoping he was competitive, make some money and go back down to 122.

i thought pac was too small for 126. go figure.

morales rematches was needed. plus it was money.

plus there's something about rematching a guy who beat you.
