Bareera Knocked out?

Exellent point......

When MAB got KTFO by Junior Jones, he came right back to rematch Jones and prance around the ring in survival mode.......

MAB did the exact same thing when he got KTFO by Pac.......pranced around the ring looking for the finish line.......

Great post.....two great examples of "RISING TO THE OCCASSION!":good

 

Let me guess, you think Marquez should be rated higher than Marco on the greatest Mexican's of all time list. :verysad

Performances all came after defeats.

 

yup that's what happen

 

Thats ****...but I suspect you know that already; unless you are blinded by Erik Morales's underwear, which you wear over the top of your face every night, while you masturbate.

 

This thread has nothing to do with JMM.

......but I do instinctively shoot down big target statements like yours that stick out as ugly as a sore swollen thumb on a hand.

If its out of place and I see it, its coming down!:bbb

 

There are exceptions to the rule, but Barrera losing twice to Jones only made his performance against Morales in the the first fight that more impressive.

Likewise, losing to Manny Pacquiao in the fashion he did despite being a pro for well over a decade, nobody believed he could beat Morales, who had only lost to Barrera. Barrera won the third fight, and established himself, I believe, to be the greatest Mexican fighter of his generous. light years ahead of the significantly inferior resume of Marquez.

I haven't even mentioned the Naz fight, where Barrera was once again made an underdog and prevailed.

Barrera's three greatest wins, he was more often than not the underdog. Great fighter, and he did comeback from losses, on three different occasions during his career. My statement was not out of place.

 

mannn lmao!!!!!!!!! that some funny ass **** man

watch the second corner man that jumps in the ring he ****ing thrown some water on junior jones as some sort of revenge for knocking mab silly

 

Exactly.....

Nobody is saying MAB lost to pansy's......

......he lost to good fighters in Jones, Morales, Pac, and JMM......

Jones and Pac happened to have had his number.

Selfkill saying that MAB rose to the occasion off of defeats is erroneous and self serving to meet his agenda.

Off of defeats, MAB was matched properly to beat other fighter beside the one that whooped him.
......never did he rise to the occasion to beat the fighter that had just whooped him......

......off the first Jones fight, he fights a survival strategy and loses again to Jones.

Off the first Morales fight (which I thought MAB won btw) officially MAB was coming off a loss to Morales, and by most people that I know Morales clearly outboxed him in the rematch.
Everybody I watched it with were suprised they gave it to MAB.

Survival fight with Pac after getting owned.....

MAB did no such thing as rise to the occasion against fighters that whooped his ass......the whippings came because the fighters had his number and there was'nt a damn thing MAB could do about it......


I'll correct myself and say that MAB rose to the occasion and gave himself a legit chance to win in the third Morales fight.
Personally I scored it a draw.....but I'll definitely give MAB credit for fighting and giving himself a legit chance at victory.
The only time he did so against a fighter that had previously beaten him.

I"ll add that the Hamed victory was a good win for MAB.
For myself personally, nothing more than just a good solid victory.....as I cant rate it higher than that, taking into account that Hamed showed his heart and mettle as a champion by going into a funk and basically abandoing his boxing career after his loss to MAB.

Just putting the "Rose to the occasion" aspect of it into perspective.......
Did MAB reinvent himself coming off losses?
Not against fighters that whupped on his ass!!!

 

Barrera rose to the occasion after taking two defeats to junior Jones to not only be competitive against Morales, but arguably beat him. Much like I know Marquez beat Pacquiao in both meetings, but was never given the decisions. Boxing fans score the fights because we know we cannot trust the judging, and why should we? Barrera rose to the occasion against Morales 1, despite being a huge underdog.

Likewise, You say the Naz fight was just a solid win for Barrera, but Naz was knocking everybody out at 126, was undefeated, and considered the betting favorite in his fight with Barrera. Marco defied the critics, and probably you also, when he put on a Boxing exhibition against the undefeated Prince. This was a year on from his controversial defeat to Morales. Barrera rose to the occasion in his biggest and career defining fight by winning handily.

As if that didn't already prove that Barrera had already come back from losses to put in world class performances, not being discouraged, he would then have to do it after losing to Pacquiao in 2003. Everybody thought it was time for MAB to retire, and so did poor Morales, who took a third fight thinking he could whip on Marco. This all after Barrera having beaten Morales in their second meeting by the way, another time he rose to the occasion in one of his biggest fights. Well, we all know how the story goes. Barrera beat Morales in the third fight (it wasn't a draw..rubbish) and he went 2-1 over a world class, ath, and hof fighter in Morales. Barrera defied the bookmakers, the critics, the fans, when he rose to the occasion after a crushing loss to defeat Morales for a second time.

Although it was an Oscar de la Hoya quote in my original post, Barrera made a career out of coming back from losses. He did it at least three times, and that is a fact. There is no debate about it. He beat Morales in 1 and 3 (the general consensus anyhow) in both fights he was a big underdog. Likewise, his other career defining fighter against Naz, he was an underdog, and he won easily. Why have we all got to get defensive when we state the obvious. Barrera was a great fighter, who always gave a good account of himself in his biggest fights.

He was a shell against Marquez and Pacquiao 2, but you watch Divac mention they were pretty much the same age. Marquez had been in very few wars, whereas Barrera was in 3 against Morales, 1 against Pacquiao, and 1 against Mckinney.

 

you couldnt make this up

 

DQ...but that was legit KO. Saw birds and stars flying around his head.
