    basically, morales used his long-jab well and followed it up and put pressure and backed pac up. barrera tried to use his jab but is not as effective because he is jabbing for the sake of just jabbing and pac was beating him to the punch. i still don't like barrera's chance with his brawling stlye during his early days but i guess it could make the fight a little closer. the rematch proved this when mab did tried to engege and counter pac but hesitated after the 2nd half and is on the back pedal from then on.

    this is bull****. pac was the first to give jmm the chance to have a big-time fight. not even morales and barrera dared to fight jmm that time.

    I didn't say he DEFINITELY was, I just said it's possible. At FW a fighter is usually a little past his best once he hits 30, and up until then JMM had never really been tested enough to make that determination. It's a possibility, not a certainty. JMM had never been in any major wars, which certainly helped to preserve his abilities.

    damn, for a thread that sucks it has like 10 pages in 24 hours and has open the eyes of many to see that Pac has only fought one true elite prime fighter.

    You're threads are full bias and malicious agenda! :lol:

    But i can understand... it's all pac's fault he shouldn't have fought all those mexicans. Thanks God he's fighting Hatton next maybe it will lessen the pain. :D

    when all of these are said and done.

    it will be pac and a host of other fighters like EM, Hatton, PBF, MAB, RJJ and perhaps JMM and JC whose careers will be saluted, statues erected, awards dedicated.

    but critiques and haters, will, remain wallowing in the mud. envious of why other people lived the warriors life, most of us can only dream of.

    In all honesty, I don't like to see old heros fall. Not when they're old. I didn't like watching RJJ get embarrassed, though I was happy for Calzaghe, I also didn't like seeing Gatti lose to someone like Gomez, and Gomez is MX. I didn't like seeing Morales lose to Diaz who was MX too.

    And yes, if it's my fave fighters, I don't like seeing them lose when they're old. It's sad.

    I guess you were hurt when JMM KOed casa and beat MAB. no? :D


    Pac beat 29 year old MAB and EM. Pac fought them when they are the best in their divisions.

    He beat other young mexicans... the Oldest was JMM. :deal
