    Why are people calling Barrera prime? He had been in so many wars and had already been KTFO once during his actual prime in the late 90s, before Pac ever got to him.

    You are a joke if you think 2003 Barrera was not Prime.

    Cause if i recall after the loss to Pac in 2003 he reeled off 6 wins in a row after that fight which included
    Ayala
    Morales
    Fana
    Peden
    Juarez Twice.

    Mate get a ****ing a clue as that win by Pac was clearly better than any of the two and its not close.

    Also Ive done a fair bit of research and what it shows is after Mayweather has fought most his best wins the guys have either lost a fair few fights after or been 2 or 3 fights from retiring or retired the very next fight.

    On Pac's resume
    Barrera was still firing
    Cotto went on a run at 154

    Also the fact and this is a huge one Morales who everyone says was done got robbed against Maidana some 5 years after that fight against Pac.

    The only real guy to go on a run after Mayweather and sort of still in his Prime was Marquez but that fight was a ****ing FARCE were Mayweather came in 10 to 12 pounds heavier.

    When prime Morales fought Pac he beat him up.

    Also the highest Mayweather has ever weighed on fight night as a WW has been 150, and this was recently, against Victor Ortiz (who weighed in at fight night as 164) . He even weighed in against Cotto at 151 for a 154 fight.

    So no, he wouldn't have been 10-12 lbs heavier under any circumstances. Don't make **** up.

    Thats BS because they never realesed the weight for the Marquez fight and they still havnt.

    Mayweather has a great resume as well but if you really look close enough its not on the same level as Pac's.

    IMO. Those also believing Mayweather was only a couple of pounds heavier than JMM on fight night did not watch the fight at all as when they were in the ring it was evident.

    Probably Pacquiao's.

    Great list of opponents with some great performances.

    They never release the weights = you just make **** up and call it fact?

    If you think Mayweather would somehow rehydrate up to a smaller weight against the biggest fighter he had yet faced (150 vs Ortiz)

    And then not officially weigh in at the maximum Junior-Middleweight limit against Miguel Cotto, instead weighing 151 lbs (Cotto was 154)

    Not to mention weighed in at 150 for his 154 fight against Oscar.

    Yet have some sort of ringweight of 154+ against Juan, then I think you aren't thinking clearly and eagerness to talk him down has gotten ahead of your sense.

    This holds no relevance really. It's not like Mayweather has any control over what happens after he puts on a demoralising performance over his opposition, which happens a lot of the time. Being completely outclassed for 12 rounds (if it made it that far) and being made to look silly can affect a boxer mentally, arguably more than being KO'd early...some boxers can never come back from that.

    Imo, Pacquiao's resume is more impressive, so I'd much rather have his. Although I'd rather have Floyd's money lol.

    That is utter nonsense. First off Pacquiao never truely beat the 2008 Marquez. Secondly Marquez wasn't even in his prime, he was old you idiot, he was 34, how on earth can you be in your prime when your 34 ? Marquez been a pro since 1993, so to say he was in his prime in 2008 is nonsense. Pacquiao only has 1 which is Barrera. I can argue that Castillo was prime HOF- calibre fighter. So that makes it even 1-1.
