Marco Antonio Barrera Tribute Thread

cayate....dont talk that way about Barera noob. He has given so many classic fights, so many wars. He fought the fight that he thought would win him the fight, unlike a typical Mexican he is actually educated man. Just because he didnt go out on his ass like Morales, doesnt mean he isnt a real Mexican.:nono

 

atsch

 

Very cerebral fighter..he went into that ring against PAC with his plan for PAc to chase him and counter all night. PAC didnt chase...at that point..whats the point..make some money and go home

 

i recall mab saying that in his list of the top 5 best mexican fighters of all time, he ranked himself 5th behind erik who he ranked 4th. was this modesty or does he really think that erik was better than him?

 

Its just another way of him getting under Eriks skin:deal

 

how's that? care to explain? i recall mab having said this before his rematch w/ pac when he was contemplating retirement.

 

He said this after beating Erik the 3rd fight. Now if I just won and all of a sudden I told a guy I hated that nah youre still better..thats false humility as its best..meant to further infuriate Erik

 

Man I just now noticed that. :good

This little man was a true ATG, possible top 50 all time fighter on my list. He could out box better, sometimes bigger brawlers(Naz, Juarez, Pac at times in the rematch even though well past his best) and out brawl better boxers (Morales, and it's no easy feat out brawling this man at his peak he would have gave Sal Sanchez everything he had).

I would have gave everything to see him and JMM fight in 2004. It would have been even better.

 

no. he said this before his rematch w/ pac when he was contemplating retirement after that fight.

 

Marco you leave no question that you are a legend inside the ring. Best of luck, it's time to enjoy your family full time. We'll miss you!

 

HOF not ATG

 

Is Calzaghe?

 

:good :good

 

Goodbye Marco :happy :happy :happy
