Greater win: Mayweather-Corrales or Pacquiao-Barrera

[blowblow]

Barrera had retired for about 2 years after he lost back to back to Jones. Did you forget that? Then he came back and won all those fights.

Why are you holding it against Floyd that odh wouldn’t fight him?

I, like everyone, would’ve loved to see Floyd fight odh before this. However odh couldn’t bring himself to respond to Floyd’s challenge until 2007.

But this thread is about Corrales/ Floyd and manny/Barrera. Floyd beat an undefeated prime guy who was favored against him in devastating fashion.

barrera on 8 winning streak before fighting pac.

the momentum is there..

Barely if at all, it was pretty well pick em odds if I recall. Pac was a 4-1 underdog vs an already HOFer Barrera.

Mayweather was the favorite:
Mayweather vs Corrales: January 20 2001
Diego Corrales challenged Ring No. 2 ranked Super Featherweight and #7 Pound-For-Pound Floyd Mayweather Jr. for the WBC super featherweight title. Odds makers had Mayweather, 23, a 6-5 betting favorite as the fighters began their ring walks.Jan 20, 2018

Pacquiao, who had been working with Freddie Roach since 2001, recovered well and dominated the fight, being too good and far too fast for the Mexican warrior. Barrera, the betting favourite at 4-1, was blitzed and was down in the third, before surviving the next few rounds.

people say mayweather's cotto win was better than pacquiao because cotto was "drained" during his fight with pacquiao, yet people don't want to mention how drained chico was in his fight against mayweather

oscar was "drained" against manny yet if there was a rematch that was to take place against mayweather it was going to be at 147.

Fair enough, but Barrera was more accomplished and hof bound. Like I said, it was pickem or Floyd a slight favourite...not sure why you keep saying corrales was the favourite. Pac, on the other hand, was a clear 4-1 dog.

Because I don’t recall it being pick em. I recall corrales being a clear favorite. Not as big as Barrera that is true.

[The Big Dunn]

Your full of it aren't you. Corrales was like lacy hyped to the hills. Lacy was a mini Mike tyson, undefeated and in prime also and favourite against calzaghe. Stop dressing it up!

You like using hindsight so nel o was green and drained when Floyd beat him.

Corrales was in no way a Lacy. He was in the top 10 p4p and was 32-0.

This isn’t about your personal crusade against Floyd.

Besides, you deleted your post after Floyd beat everyone you posted he needed to defeat to be an ATG.

You’ve got to really be a shitty person with a great deal of hate and jealousy to do something like that.

True he was and had beaten hamed. I was wrong with the number of wins.

He had also come back after retiring for 2 years after jones beat him twice.

It’s not like you can’t look it up. He may have opened as a slight favourite, but mayweather entered the ring as the favourite. Like I said, it was pretty close to pick em.

he likes to be underdog.. it motivates him. what's funny here is he was an underdog but came out like a tiger..

Him being susceptible of being an underdog moves him further away from getting close to even a quarter of Mayweather's legacy...

Mayweather's win over Corrales is probably his best performance & arguably his best win.

Pacqiuao's win over Marco Antonio Barrera was the greater win over Mayweather-Corrales

Legacy of cherryping. Pac don't need floyd. He already surpassed floyd by a wide margin record wise.

slight favorite, yet still the favorite and NOT the underdog.
