Was MAB in his prime during the first Pacman fight?

Where did he mention floyd?

He also backs up hes argument with facts showing he clearly knows enough about barreras career to have a valid opinion..

Your childish. And like i said i dont believe barrera was far from prime at all... Pacs style is always a nightmare for barrera

 

No he wasn't.

 

You're*

 

So says the *******. Like anyone should give a **** about YOUR ****ing list, lmmfao.

 

do we really have to?

I mean we're not in a grammar forum.

 

I don't know how PAC was able to beat Barerra when he was damaged good already. He's been knocked out twice and he was a one dimensional bum. Barerra lost to a damaged good one dimensional bum.

 

Now that's shame on Barrera, or everyone else for that matter for losing to a damaged good one-dimensional bum.

 

Shutup you pleb :roll:

 

OK OK. So having wars with great fighters, win or lose, makes one fighter past prime? cmon. Dont degrade a fighter just because he lost to someone big or some upcoming great fighter.

 

Also, there are differences between being past your prime, and past your peak.

 

true but in MAB's case, he is at his prime or still close to it. and remember what barrera did after losing to pacquiao?

 

becoming the first to stop Ayala, winning his 3rd title against Morales and defending it against Rocky Juarez before losing a close tussle against JMM.

Not bad.

 

MAB was past his prime, past his best... But he was also not as past it as some of Pac's other big wins.

To understand MAB's prime you need to have known MAB before the Pacquiao fight, so that pretty much eliminates *******s.

MAB was at his PEAK against Morales in the first fight. He had come back from to huge losses against Junior Jones to put on a show against Morales that imo was slightly short of the Victory. He then has a rematch against Morales, in a slower paced fight, and imo wins by a hair. It is important to note that it was the consensus that MAB and Morales both had taken A LOT out of each other in their first war.

The Johnny Tapia, Morales II and Kevin Kelly comfirmed MAB was not the same fighter, he was not as fast, not as crisp, and not as relentless as he was prior to MAB-Morales I.

His fight with Nas proved he had matured and could outbox someone like Nas, whose greatest asset was his power and awkward style.

By the time Pac got to MAB, MAB was defitnately still a force, but he wasn't by any means the BEST version of Marco Antonio Barrera.

 

Barrera was in his late 20's. So was Morales and Marquez was in his 30's.

 

He was riding the most impressive winning streak of his career and would muster up some really nice performances post the thrashing (notably scoring the only clear win of his series with Morales), and wouldn't lose again for 4 years until Marquez won an extremely close, nip-and-tuck battle against him. Yes, he was in his prime for Pacquiao I.
