    Default Which are Barreras best fights

    Ever since Barrera beat Nassem Hammed I have been a fan of him,He beat Hammed quite easy and he was never in any trouble...Barrera is just great to watch just love his style...

    Only fights I have seen of him are the Morales trilogy and the Hammed fight oh and the Rocky Juarez second fight.Any one recommend any other good Barrera fights I should try see...

    Besides the ones Ice listed

    Some earlier ones, might be tough to find, if you go way way back you get to see Barrera with a 1980's Poison/LA Guns type masterpiece of a haircut

    Eddie Cook-could probably find this
    Carlos Salazar-probably tough to find unless you have a career set
    Junior Jones 1 and 2-mainly 2, fought a better fight
    Other than that, maybe Robbie Peden although Peden's total non effort made it a dull fight.

    Most of them were good, just to see that legend in the ring. Hes awesome, he sparked Fana out in two rounds, awesome show.

    Yeah just checked have all those fights,I got a career set on him really looking forwad to see him in action...Wont get chance to watch it till after Christmas but from reading the cover there is a lot of his early fights in Mexico on it....43 fights in total on this set so lots of fights to look forward to...

    Is Barrera retired now due to his recent defeats against Marquez and Pac man and what were his recent defeats down to was it just him not as sharp as he once was or is it a case that Marquez and Pac man are simply better fighters.

    The Morales fights; and the Kelly fight like Finito mentioned. I was a big fan of Kelly and thought he would win Of course his 1st fight with Pac I liked and the 1st fight I ever saw him in vs. Jesus Salud.

    I think he is, there is no need to fight on. Nothing to prove now and lost to the two best men in the devision. NOBODY can ever forget his achievements though...

    Marquez vs Barrera was very close fight, if the knockdown had been scored i would of had Barrera winning. Barrera fought too defensive in 2nd fight with Pacquiao but im just glad he went the distance. But Pacquiao just has his number.

    I'd like to do an assesment of his fights but unfortunate for me I don't have the time to do so. I'll just list some fights....

    Josefino Suarez - MAB picks up his 1st title (Mexican Super Flyweight) by outboxing Suarez. MAB showed a great deal of skills by using the entire ring and outlanding Suarez thru 12.

    Carlos Salazar - MAB earns a spot in a eliminator bout but fails to make weight. He struggles late in the fight but manages to earn himself a MD win. Eventhough he won because he came in overweight the title shot was void. I recommend this fight because Carlos was world class at that time had already fought for 2 titles and he also went on to become champ.

    Daniel Jimenez - MAB wins hist 1st title here and outboxes Daniel thru 12, this fight was shown in it's original broadcast on KCAL 9 network outhere in los angeles. MAB showed he could counter and use his jab to control his opponent.

    Eddie Croft, Salud, Agapito Sanchez, Fana if anything just for the KO.

    Icecold mentioned his best fights . The defeats against Marquez and Pac were close but remember this is not a prime Barrera . He was at his physical peak a decade ago . These guys are at their peak now yet neither really beat up on an old shop worn Barrera . Barreras past his best yet he beat Marquez IMO . He floored him in round 7 yet all 3 judges scored teh round 10-8 to Marquez . Against Pac the second time. Barrera just boxed his figt and stopped Manny from brawling . Barrera wanted to go out on his feet in his final fight . The one you saw on youtube was of their first fight . Barrera didnt train for that fight cuz the forrst fires forced him out of his training camp yet he still floored pac in round 1 and went 11 rounds .

    Disagree with you there mate . Pac just got Barrera at the right time . Just as Berbick got Ali at the right time and Mcbride got Tyson . Doesnt mean that they are better fighters .
