    Please don't compare Barrera/Morales trilogy to the Raffa/Izzy trilogy. Its not even close.

    The first fight was the only slugfest in the Barrera/Morales trilogy. The other two fights was Barrera running and counterpunching like a little *****.

    And a key note. Manny fought Barrera after only the second fight in the trilogy. Not after, they fought the rematch many years later.

    a prime barrera would always lose 80% of the rounds to a pre-prime pacquiao

    There were out of the ring issues for Barrera that many people tend to forget about.

    Prime no doubt...and that was pre-prime Pac aswell...but absolute peak, probably not. Considering the out of the ring stuff and I reckon I saw some decline with MAB in the Tapia fight...its just he is one of the fighters who had a real gradual slide.

    he beat a barrera who was considered still in his prime but didnt have time to prepare before the fight with the legal issues with his wifes divorce and suing his old promotion company for stealing money from him big bear on fire and had to be moved and people saying he shouldnt be allowed to fight with a metal plate in his head and having to go to hospital after hospital provin he was fine

    but i think he lost something in his first fight against morales he could no longer go 12 rounds brawling roach knew this and told pac to make him fight and he will break down i would of love dto see pac against the barrera that ofught in morales 1

    Of course MAB was shot. PAC wins by having the keen ability to catch fighters when they are shot, weight drained, over trianed or distracted. It's clear he's just been lucky this whole time:roll:
