I could NEVER rank MAB above JMM or Morales, cause he never beat PAC & the way he fought him...

    Dude got obliterated by PAC

    Then in rematch he basically just took a paycheck, he fought scared & was happy just to last 12...

    Morales & JMM both beat a Prime Pac, & even when Morales lost he fought with all his heart going toe to toe.

    MAB couldnt even compete with Pac...

    Thats why i rate JMM & Morales above MAB...

    What are you talking about? Beating Pacquiao wasn't some impossible task and just because Barrera didn't do it and it definitely doesn't rank him below either man you named or Pacquiao either.
    By this logic Maidana is superior to Pacquiao because he made Mayweather look bad and fought him to a Majority Decision while Pacquiao got UD'd to domination by him.
    If fact Raheem is better than Pacquiao and Morales. Raheem beat Morales like a stray dog for 36 minutes right after Erik beat Pacquiao the glove excuse maker by UD. Triangle theory, Torre Campo is the GOAT, he KOd young prime Pacquiao.
    Its insane man .

    Just cuz that? Pacquiao just had a difficult style for Barrera. And Barrera won the trilogy vs Morales and I actually thought he won his fight with Marquez.

    I put Barrera over JMM. JMM did well against Pacman once, but his resume is older legends or mediocre guys otherwise.

    Barrea was coming off of his win over Hamed and back to back wars when he fought Manny the 1st and 2nd time. Forgive the man if he slipped a bit. He was coming off of bigger and better fights when he loss to Pacquiao than Pacquiao was when Marquez put him in that temporary coma in front of his wife thats for sure.

    The only man to beat a prime Pacquiao was Erik Morales.

    It's in the history books. March 19, 2005.

    A close to washed up Barrera took Marquez into deep waters.

    I respect MAB the most. Erik and Juan were dopers.

    Dont forget that he beat the daylights out of Morales a couple months after his fight with Pacquiao.

    "Beat the daylights out of" is laying it on mighty thick.

    But I did think Barrera deserved to win against Morales in all 3 of their fights, the 2nd being the closest and most difficult to score (although I concede an awful lot of people scored the 2nd fight for Morales).

    Well he wasnt close to stopping him. But he buckled Morales multiple times in the 3rd fight. Which I thought I'd never see. The first two fights he couldn't really hurt Morales enough to really make you think he could stop him. The exception being the 12th round in the first fight. And that was due more to accumulation and physical exhaustion from Morales.

    Barrera in the 3rd fight hit Morales with some flush left hooks that really rocked Morales hard. Buckled his knees. And basically beat him to the punch for most of the fight.

    And I thought he was robbed blind in the first fight.

    Because of course how he fought Manny Pacquiao is the sole benchmark for evaluating any fighter’s career. :facepalm:

    El Chicano is a Pacmantard and a good boy. :eaea:
