    You are leaving out a couple of wars for all of your examples. Before MAB fought Jones he had a great fight with McKinney. And besides fighting a trilogy with Morales, Pac had been knocked out twice at flyweight. But if you want to compare the two fighters Barrera's performance against Hamed and Pac's performance against Cotto were both around the 55 fight mark of their careers.

    Yes which just goes to show that fighters can bounce back and have their greatest fights after multiple wars.

    So many people think a single rough fight ruins fighters when that's rarely the case.

    Like MAB people thought he was burnt out leading into the Hamed fight. Then he gives a masterclass performance.

    I tend to think of Pacquiao as this era's Duran. Even after the devastating Hearns KO Duran still had one last spectacular performance in him against Barkley.
