MAB at his best, Can he Beat Pac

Well Barrera did looked better against the (new and improved) Pacquiao in their rematch, but like someone already said styles so i really dont know.

 

yes. mab is an elite fighter, all he has to do is come up with a good fight plan. i'm not really into discounting fighter's chance of winning, especially of an elite fighter in his prime (against opponents that are more or less within his fighting weight).

 

I don't think so. Maybe if the young Barrera who actually came forward fought him in a brawl he'd have a chance, but the boxer Barrea would lose every time. Pac's speed will always be too much for him in that instance.

 

^ just boils down to it being a bad matchup for MAB

 

At 122 I give MAB a definite edge, from FW on up I give it to Pac.

 

Might also have something to do with being sued by his manager right before the fight, having to fly to LA to get xrayed and having to explain the metal plate in his head, and being burned out of camp as well.

That said, I think Manny is naturally bigger than MAB, who was the smallest out of all five of the great recent featherweights and he was at his very best at 122. MAB is probably physically stronger than Manny at that weight and a 122 lb MAB can fight like a whirlwind all night long. The higher the weight class, the better Manny likes it.

 

ummm maybe because Pac looks ripped at 147 and MAB was soft as a marshmallow at 135?

You genious. lol.

 

Pac at his best beats Barrera at his best in my opinion. I don't discredit Pac like many do for beating Barrera the first time, though I don't think Barrera was shot, but it seemed like he had something going on in his head and just was not the same Barrera.

I was impressed by Barrera in the second fight, probably wasn't the best Barrera physically but mentally he fought the best fight he could have and just wasn't enough against Pac.

Pac seems to keep growing though and getting better with each and every fight, though Barrera is one of my favorite fighters of all time, I think Pac is the greater fighter for sure.

 

Could you possibly be that stupid? Really? Why would I even bother trying to argue with someone so stupid? You're a waste of time.

 

By the second fight MAB was definitely in a sharp decline, and Pac just seems to get better with every weight class he moves up. If Pac beats Cotto I think you just about have to acknowledge that he's the best of the bunch, but that's a big if. Pac's chin below FW was questionable, I believe it was sapping a great deal of his strength getting down that low for as long as he did.

In fact, if Pac beats Cotto I think you have to start taking him into consideration for Henry Armstrong - SRL - SRR -Ali level greatness.
