    MAB by quite a long way in terms of technical skills though Pacquaio really did seem to have his number for some reason. Pacquaio's first win over MAB is the greatest of his career.

    REally ? Interesting... I don´t see this too close......I would say Pac with a clear edge.....
    How do you figure that ? Would like to know what do you think about MAB´s power......

    i wanted to say pac but barrera in his early career was a dynamo body puncher with serious power. I think pac takes it but in the end, neither is typically a one punch knockout puncher (save for the occasionally spectacular hatton like destruction) and barrera in his pre-130 days had some serious beef in those punches. it's a fair question/criticism though
