    Pacquiao against Barrera in 2003

    Does anyone consider this to be Pacquiao's best performance. Completely dismantled an ATG in Barrera and showed shades of Aaron Pryor with his non stop pressure.

    One of if not his best but most definitely his coming out party on the mainstage under the bright lights.

        - -Too many bests to count, but MAB coming off his schooling of Hamed was a Ring top 5 p4per at his peak.

        Manny replaced him and remains there to this very day, a record that can never be broken.

        I get to say I witnessed the whole thing as perhaps the most amazing athletic feat ever recorded over such a body of time in such a brutally demanding sport.

          It’s his best win. Everything else was just icing on the top.

              I won money on the fight. People didn't know how great Pac was at that time. It wasn't peak Barrera, he was 60 fights in and had a few wars and had taken two light fights in a row with Tapia and Kevin Kelly. But Barrera was still a great fighter. Manny thoroughly dominated MAB in a way no one else had. Even Junior Jones didn't beat up Barrera the way Manny had. Definitely one of the best night of Manny's great career

                Barrera was his best win. It’s not even close with the others you mentioned

                  Marco Antonio Barrers was a consensus top 3 P4P fighter. He was.coming off wins from Morales, Hamed, Tapia and Kelly. And Pacquiao dismantled him to the point that he never wanted a rematch.
