Was Marco Antonio Barrera still in his PRIME in 2003 against Pacquiao?

Anyone who was actually watching boxing and paying attention then knew MAB was still at the top of his game.

I love the way idiots like you pretend to speak for everyone. Stop commenting on something you obviously know nothing about

 

So this is a meaningful fight

Isn't Pac already 2-0-1?

 

All those ******* alts

 

I would say yes.

Unless the prime can only be that version of the fighter from a single fight, in which case a prime fighter seldom loses.

 

Get off Pac's dick please. :-(


So Tzyu was prime when Hatton beat him? Whitaker was prime when Oscar beat him?

 

According to *******s, you are not far off. Pac's prime lasted only two years if you ask them.

 

talk about alt. from a guy who registered may 2012 and already has 10k post.

 

atsch KT was top3 when Hatton beat him

 

he was definitley still in his prime when he fought pacquiao. he may have been a little battle tested, but was still in his prime no doubt. pacquiao was just a stylistic nightmare for barrera. his punch output was too high and there was nothing barrera could do to keep him off him.

agreed. i think thats the really defining thing about barrera. even after being defeated by junior jones, pacquiao, and morales (although that first fight could have gone either way). he still went on to reinvent himself ,improve his game, and perform well against top competition. he really rebounded from losses well and didn't seem to lose confidence afterwards. to me that's a true charateristic of an all time great.
