    Correct me if am wrong BUT is MAB still on his PIRME?

    Cause had a fight with JMM VERY close fight and if it wasn't for that point D.MAB had won that fight:deal

    Then fought Pac i think these is a jrJones in the making just HAS MAB NUMBER:deal BTW he didn't took a beating like the first fight.

    FAR removed from his prime...reflexes, tentativeness, defensive lapses...he should stay retired in my opinion, though he did give a great account of himself vs. JMM.

    Well, you are wrong.

    No way he is still at his prime.

    Mab is far off from his prime but he is no where near shot like some posters here say.

    and without doubt a prime Mab would beat a prime JMM 10 out of 10 times.

    MAB is at a similar level to Mosley.

    He will beat all the fringe contenders and some of the beltholders, but the elite will prevail.

    At present day you right, MAB doesnt stand a chnace against PAC, Marquez or other top 135lbdos.
    At least not MAB who fought PAc and JMM last time, he didn't have will to win.

    In PACMAN/MAB 2---Pac came in and fought at cruise mode the whole fight----I was seriously pissed off----like he was only interested in doing enough to get the win IMO..:smoke :smoke
    And I also like Barrera..

    it didn't help at all that MAB doesn't want to engage at all and just played "catch me if you can" attitude in what supposed to be a payback/vengeance fight for him.

    Nopes definitely not anymore.

    He is way off his prime but MAB is still a gifted fighter and can still kick a lot of asses . . . but he is no longer capable of fighting in the top level (against Pac, JMM, Campbell or maybe Guzman)

    MAB is far from his prime.

    The judges had a lop sided Unanimous decision for JMM even though i disagreed. I think the closest card was 115-113 for Marquez.

    Barrera took Pac lightly in their first fight and paid the price. In the second fight he knew what to expect, thats why it wasnt a beating.:deal

    The younger MAB who fought pac the first time would beat JMM's ass!

    He is way past his prime now... but i'd still put my money on him if he fights valero.
