He may have been a nobody to the casual fans......but Pac's name even before the MAB fight was coming up in boxing talk radio shows that I heard back then like Rich Marrotta's KFI radio show.

.....respected boxing journalist we're in the know that MAB was'nt just a regular stay busy type of fight for him.
Pac was a live dog, for that MAB fight!

pac was known here in the states but not internationally prior to mab.

and yes, mab knew pac was a livewire and still tried to fight fire with fire early.

I dont think there is any question that to date, the MAB victory is Pac's defiining victory.....he beat MAB every which way......he not only pummeled MAB, he outmanuevered and outboxed him imo.....

.....I've heard from posters here that MAB would have done better if he strictly boxed Pac the first fight.....but I dont think so.......MAB tried to box when things were'nt going his way, but he just did'nt have any answers for Pac who was to quick, too fast, and to strong.

On a side note......the thinking by most is that DLH physically whacked at the weight he came in.....
Its my thinking too.......but I'm open to change my mind on this issue if Pac is anywhere close to dominating Ricky Hatton.....
A dominant victory over Hatton or even a clear victory, I believe puts the DLH fight into better perspective to the fact of whether Pac's domination was more attributable to DLH's physical state, or if it had more to do with just how great Pac was that night than DLH being that bad.

If Pac dominates Hatton, I believe the DLH fight may at the end of Pac's career, turn out to be Pac's defining fight.

Barera 1.
Barrea was in his prime. People seem to forget that it was a major upset.

Best post and from a JMM fan at that. Barrera 1 for me. But i do get riled up whenever the DLH win was dismissed to his age and weight issues. they must've been blind not to see the speed, beautiful footwork and effective agression. Just look how he turns DLH. That performance was so good it begs to ask if he Pac could handle a prime DLH.

id say barrera 1 defined manny as a future p4p star back then. at this point of his career, he'll be fighting for added greatness and legacy.

IMO, he really has nothing more to prove though. he's done it all..

Morales II...every one says MAB I, but that was the fight put Pac on the map...Morales II solidified Pac...
