Marco Antonio Barrera is a great fighter Im not sure he is an ATG

[therealpugilist]

The lower weight classes has a rich history of fighters and he fought a lot of his career at 122-130 where all-time greats have fought


Where would he stack up against ATG like Abe Attell, Kid Chocolate, Eder Jofre, Willie Pep, Sandy Saddler, Salvador Sanchez, Tony Canoneri, Manuel Ortiz, wilfredo gomez, ruben Olivarez, Azumah Nelson, Sugar Ramos, etc.

I just don't see him being able to compete with the all time greats from the past


His accomplishments don't equate to the type of fanfare and hoopla he gets on this forum.

He is personally one of my favorites and his wars with Erik Morales are legendary. Hamed was no pushover and Barrera took care of him. Tapia,Ayala , Kelley and many more...IMO he is an ATG. He was a technical genius similar to JMM.

That man was a true warrior. in my books he's >>> Morales.

He had great punching ability and combos, adequate technique


wouldn't say a genius....if he was he would have got by Jones the second time

He is one of the top ten fighters of the 21st century

It's close. He's certainly a great fighter. I'm not sure I'd put.him in the ATG category, but he was quite the fighter. I'm a big fan.

The people who thought barrera lost were paying too much attention to HBO. Roy Jones was biased for his amateur teammate, and HBO rode him.... Barrera outlanded him throwing much fewer punches and landed all the hard punches too.....The only case Jones had for winning is that he worked hard and hung in there... all the quality was from Barrera.

This coming from a Barrera hater.
