    Floyd fans claim PAC beat a past prime barrera , citing Barrera had been in wars?
    When in actual fact poac beat a prime Barrera coming off a 9 win, win streak. Barrera being in wars means Barrera was battle proiven and tested. Being in wars don't mean you are past prime. It might shorten career though.
    PAC ruined Barrera that's why Barrera had no wins after pac.
    Barrera is better win than ssm

          I broke the math down for you. it is a great win. Why do you consider the Mosley win great and not the Barrera when factoring the following?

          7 years and 1 month is longer than 5 years and 5 months (you used this as a point why the Mosley win is great and the Barrera one not despite the math rendering your claim useless)

          Pacquaio is better than Cotto (they have a fight at a catchweight and a career to prove this)

          Morales is better than Margarito and a great fighter (don't need to explain this or do I?...)

          Also as a bonus point. a 16 month layoff is a bigger and more effective layoff than a 6 month layoff and 38 is an older age than 33.

            I wouldn't say that Ray ducked the Hagler rematch because we don't know what those negotiations were like but that's the perception when it gets discussed. Plus it was kinda odd how he retired then came back once Hagler retired. I've never seen that before or since. I'm still a huge fan, but let's not act like he fought all the greats and left no doubt as some people do. He should've fought Pryor too. Of course there's always people guys could have fought but Pryor is arguably the GOAT at 140lbs and an ATG and he called out Leonard to his face who ignored him.

            As much as people try to pick holes in Floyd's resume I can honestly say he fought all the guys I wanted to see him fight as a fan. De La Hoya, Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, Canelo the list goes on and on. The guys people try to mention as opponents he didn't fight are ridiculous. Bumgarito and Amir Khan? Seriously I can't believe anyone would've paid to see Floyd wipe the floor with those guys. Bumgacheato would've been Mayweather-Baldomir 2 and Khan would've ran into punches and got knocked out before we got to see 6 rounds. Mayweather gave us so many great performances. Fans will start to appreciate him more with every year since his retirement. The same thing happened with Ali, people hated him during his career then once it was over they recognized his greatness and showed him love as one of the GOATS. The same thing will happen with Floyd.
            Again I agree with most of your post but REALLY don't agree with SSL ducking Pryor.1st Pryor not quite in SSL class.I mean you cant even begin to compare their resume's even if you stop SSL in 82.Pryor gots two big wins A Cervantes,AA and both were little past it and smaller at least Alexis.And WHEN could SSL even have fit him in?I mean no one beat better fighters in modern times in a smaller window then Ray.From 79-late81 he beat 3 ATG and when maybe he had opening it was early 82 Before Pryor even proved to be best at 140(as 1st AA fight was in late 82 after Ray retired.Really look at their recs during these times and show where Ray ducked him.And I would pick SSL to win without pause(even with "the bottle I mixed")The times just never worked out.

              Barrera was in prime when he fought Pac.Mosley was a lot closer to prime then most people(Floyd haters)give him credit.It don't always have to be one or other(not sayin you said that just tired of a lot of these so called fans being so biased). Its Joshua or Wilder,GGG,Canelo,ward or kov.One sucks and other is greatest fighter to ever live.Again not saying that's what you were posting.

                    Good point.
