Marco Antonio Barrera

1 - vs Naseem Hamed

Not his best win, but this was probably his most perfect performance against the toughest opposition. He exposed Hamed's terrible balance by countering with hooks, and hurting him many times in the process. The Prince was trying to land that one big shot, but Barrera was more concerned with putting on Boxing clinic, jabbing Naseem's head off and following up with combination's. Ring artistry at its finest.

2 - vs Morales III

This can be argued, but I think considered Barrera was moving up in weight and coming off a devastating loss to Pacquiao, this was one of his greatest ever performances. It all began in round 1, where Barrera unleashes a series of left hooks that staggers Morales, who back pedals, as if to say, "Not you again". Morales was a heavy favourite, but Barrera with his pin point accuracy and devastating left hook and left uppercut, defied the odds once more.

3 - vs Morales I

Morales was given the verdict in this fight, but in actual reality, either one of them could have had their arms raised. It was a furious fight from start to finish, with Morales being the unbeaten fighter, and Barrera considered inferior from his two losses to Junior Jones. Barrera was got his body attack working from as early as round 1, and then in the middle rounds, started landing the harder shots, pinning Morales against the ropes. He was recieved a knockdown that never was in round 12, but still it wasn't enough. Awesome performance, reinvigorated himself as one of the best fighters in the world once again.

4 - vs Sanchez

Coming off his career best win over the unbeaten Naseem Hamed, Barrera was brimming with confidence and never was it more evidence than in this fight. Sanchez was a good fighter and had only tasted defeat once before, but in round 2, Barrera began to show his superiority by landing an awesome right hook counter which badly hurt Sanchez. A flurry of combinations followed, and had Sanchez reiling before the bell saved him. More of the same after that, with Barrera landing his left uppercut with regularity, showign superior handspeed and devastating power at 126, nearly every shot hurting Sanchez, who is forced to quit on his stool after being knocked down twice.

5 - vs Salud

Jones 2 was the introduction of Barrera the Boxer, but this fight was arguably the finished article. Salud was a good veteren who was a former champion, but he was no match for the quicker Barrera, who transformed himself into a master boxer with power. Like in the Sanchez fight, Barrera was feinting with the right, and coming in to land left uppercut after left uppercut, and mostly in a flurries of 3-4 punch combinations. Salud must have thought he was fighting three men at once, and with his corner very concerned, he quit on his stool. Barrera never looked better.
