I think Barrera was one of the best Superbantamweights of all time he is up there with Wilfredo Gomez imo.
Yeah what he said

If you have to ask if MAB was good you need to do some F****** homework. MAB is one of the best in our generation and thats the bloody end of it frankly.

Don't even waste your time on this character Kel....Since he has come here it has been nothing but insults and arguements....With everyone...he does not even debate....not even worth the time mate...
The guy is just looking to stir things up..He will eventually be flushed
Some Fu!!tards resort to Degrading a fighter ..."Taking his heart..." ::**
Thats when you know there shallow posers.
Earlier CC returned This am.
Pac bitched him. Plain and simple. If it's degrading to MAB, too bad so sad. I'll give him a pass on the first fight. He didn't know what hit him and he couldn't adjust. But he came into the second fight like he just hoped he wouldn't get hurt.
He was scared of Pac. You know it, I know it and the American (and Mexican) people know it.

What,are you 10 yrs old??Its not degrading to Barrera,He does not strike me as one "Scared" of anything.It could be degrading to fans that know this is not a school yard. In this sport "American and Mexican " fans are Mostly one in the same

The question isn't "was he good" it's "how good was he". I don't think he was as good as most do and it drives you people mad. Yet I'm the one being accused bias. :D
MAB come across a fighter that had his number Junior Jones, just like Norton/ALI Mosley/Forrest. Pacquiao beat him fair and square, now i don't think Barrera was in his prime against Pacquiao but he lost and no one is denying that. But your trying to rub it into people's face to purposely try and cause an argument. MAB is still one of the greatest Mexican Fighters of All Time losing to Pacquiao is nothing to be ashamed of.
Barrera's best wins
Paulie Ayala
Erik Morales x2
Johnny Tapia
Kevin Kelley
Naseem Hamed
Jesus Salud
Kennedy McKinney
Agapito Sanchez
Rocky Juarez
Jesse Benavides
Superbantamweight, Featherweight, Superfeatherweight,, World champion in each of these Weightclasses what is so overrated about that ??

Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
The reason this thread had gone on for so many pages is because people pay way to much attention to a moron like TWERP. As for Barrera...he is one of the greats IMO. One of the smartest fighters of this or any era. He could box like a technician, he could slug/brawl it out, or he would do both. His fights with Morales and Hamed alone make him a legend.
Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
Pound for Pound if they are the same size i would pick the Featherweight Quartet over the Original Big FOUR
Juan Manuel Marquez UD's Marvin Hagler
Erik Morales decisions Sugar Ray Leonard
Manny Pacquiao Kayoes Thomas Hearns
Marco Antonio Barrera outpoints Roberto Duran
4-0 must be too much. But i think they can really win at least 3-1.

Hagler was a god at his weight, Hearns went through the weights with ease because of his frame and power, Duran was a beast at lightweight probably the greatest, Leonard had a short prime but only SRR could beat him at his best. As great as your fab 4 are, they are no match for the Fab 4.
Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
Barrera was a great. Okay some were able to beat him, but he was able to beat some of them and others too. He was a great fighter, I don't think there is much room to fall out on that. Morales is great. Pac is great. They are all pretty great in their own particular ways.
Amir Khan is not great. And he is bald. But could be great, unlikely though.

Thats a lie. Plain and simple. A bald-faced lie.
Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
Like it or not, the guy was strong, tough and had a great technique. He also accomplished in the ring what 95% of the other boxers will not even come close to achieve. I've never been a fan of the guy but I have to recognize all the achievements he collected over the years and anybody who says that he was shit obviously is either a twat or is overwhelmed by a shallow subjectivity.
Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
Legend!
7 world titles in a career spanning 4 seperate decades and 9 different weight classes. Not many can do that!
He was from an era when the best fought the best instead of cherry picking washed up weight drained leftovers. He took guys zeros and thats why he is one of the greatest ever.
Re: How good was Marco Antonio Barrera
Good enough to be in the top 5 greatest Mexican fighters of all time IMO.
