Describe Marco Antonio Barrera in one word.

Who has the better resume and accomplished more? :good

 

It isn't an agenda of mine. I just feel strangely attached to Mexican fighters, perhaps because of their attitude and fighting spirit.

You're the one coming on here impersonating a Pacquiao fanatic. It's ******ed, go and watch Jackson vs Norris or something. It won't take up to much of your time.

 

I'm not surprised. It's a lot more competitive than Jackson vs Norris. Barrera accomplished more than Terry Norris, beat better quality opposition, and even enjoyed a longer period of time at elite level. What the hell is your point? Terry was more talented? Because he had faster hands, don't make him more talented. The guy couldn't take a good punch when he needed too, and being stopped by Junior Jones is more credible than being sparked by Simon '****in' Brown. You probably put a lot of stock in his victory over Leonard, too.

 

It's hardly as competitive as that, Essexboy. He posts a picture of Barrera suffering a knockdown at the hands of one of the greatest fighters of the last 25 years. Whilst Boxing fans have already forgotten about Simon Brown, Norris is probably still having sleepless nights.

 

Absolutely. Terry Norris displayed better punch resistance than Barrera in suffering devastating knockout defeats at the hands of Julian Jackson and Simon Brown. Barrera, although many people don't like to acknowledge it, was only ever stopped on his feet. His corner men intervened in the first Jones fight, getting Marco disqualified, and Pacquiao, who recently sparked out Junior Welterweight Ricky Hatton with one shot, couldn't keep the Mexican down. We all know the controversy surrounding the Khan circus.

Who worked more effectively to the midsection, and who had the stronger offensive arsenal? It sure as hell wasn't Terry Norris, who feasted on shopworn fighters, and wouldn't just get beaten by fighters, he got knocked the **** out. I don't like rubbishing athletes full stop, they all deserve respect, but people like you make it pretty damn hard not to retaliate.

Marco Antonio Barrera will go down as the better fighter of the two, and that's all that matters. Everything else is speculation and opinion.

 

Absolutely.

I think he believes I'm all about the Mexican fighters. It's not true. Andy Lee is one of my favorite active prospects, and I'm not even Mexican - I'm British. I've lost count how many times I've been accused of being of Mexican heritage. It's amusing. I appreciate Barrera because he was a terrific fighter who paid his dues over a 20 year career. Has nothing to do with his nationality. If he is indeed one of your favorites, you have good taste my friend. :good

 

Look back through the thread. There's always one.
