    I think it's fair to say Barrera was well on the slide by the time of their second fight but how was he rated at the time of their first?

    Prime or a fighter on the decline?

    No he didn't
    i mean ... after those 3 fights of Barrera Morales none of both were in his prime against Pac-man...
    Its like izzy and Raffy trilogy after that they cant be in their prime anymore.
    Just my 2 Cent.s!!!
    IM NOT SAYING THEY WERE SHOT .... THEY WERE JUST NOT IN THEIR PRIME

    It depends on who are asking. If it is Nallege and company, you know the answer. If it is Dapidran and company, you know the answer. But only one person really knows - Barrera.

    The second was no question MAB is way past it.

    But the first fight . . . MAB was at his prime. He was the WBC Featherweight Champ and the Ring belt holder. He refused the WBC title after beating Morales few fights back. Infact . . . he still TKOed Ayala and beat Morales via MD after that loss to Pacquiao.

    # 3 lb 4 lb and featherweight king at the time. What do you think? Hell yes :lol:

    He just beat hamed-morales-tapia-kelley before losing to pacman. After that he continue to win fights and won wbc and ibf super featherweight title.

    Right from Marco Antonio Barrera's own website! Let's see 29 years old when he fought Pacquiao. 3 years 9 months since last loss (to Morales) before fighting Pacquiao. Then after losing to Pacquiao, 6 straight wins up to Sept. 16, 2006, beating Morales and Rocky Juarez (twice). Hell yeah I'd say he was still in his prime. Nothing below indicates that he wasn't. Only boxer not in his prime that night was Pacquiao-

    It probably wasnt the very best Barrera that ever stepped into a ring but close enough to it to make no realistic difference.

    Surely people can say that wasn't the best MAB because he was practically manhandled by an unknown Pacquiao (at that time).

    Sorry dude Im not sure if you are agreeing with me or not.

    I reckon that Barrera was near as dammit Peak , maybe not absolute peak but so close to it as to make no real difference.

    Do you think differently ?
