Sure marco got slaughtered in his first fight with pac, but went on to beat morales who schooled pac, and took a prime pac to a few rounds of winning at an ge of 33 and in his 70 pro fight? pretty dam impressive tbh...

This "fight like a mexican" is bullshit, everytime morales tried doing that with barrera, he come out second best in everyround he done it. Barrera fought a smart mans fight, and when the action did heat up with pac he was the one who was landing the more telling blows, the one who stunned pac in the second round, hurt him in the fight...

Overall Barrera's career is alot better than morale's, for one he beat him 2-1.

We all love to see fighters go toe-to-toe and put on a never forget fight, but this isn't the WWF, this is about winning, and at 33 and going through all you have, going toe to toe with pac would of been stupid at this point of his career, this was his last fight for a damn good reason, coz he is past what he was. Staying on the outside, frustrating him, moving in circles non stop to try and neutralise that straight left, and keep him guessing was the best option.

I'm curious, the ones of you who say Morales won more respect for getting KTFO in early rounds against pac, if you were training Barrera to beat pac, you would tell him to go toe-to-toe with pac in his last fight? or during it?

Barrera fought smart and just about lost on my card and alot of others, morales fought like a puncher whos only chance was to get a lucky punch of to get a KO, but got KTFO in doing so.

Morales was washed up and finished at like 27 or 28 and getting KTFO by people? Barrera was past it at 33 but still pushing some of the best p4p fighters in the world to just a few rounds of a win.
Well said mate

Im watching the Pac: Barrera 2 fight for the second time now. It seems Barrera is making the fight awkward for Pac with his circling and technical boxing more than anything else. Barrera made this a tough fight for Pac.

Final 2 fights against Marquez and Pac to close out a career and very decent performances in both for Barrera.

The guy deserves credit for fighting the best and holding his own even in this twilight stage of his career.
back to you and missy...

Barrera just finished his career fighting to of the ebst p4p fighters in the world and more than held his own in them, most fighter finish off their career fighting nobodys or getting a beat down.
Yes you got to hand it to MAB finished of by fighting p4p best , WERE AS JOKE CALZAGHE STARTED AND HAS ALWAYS FOUGHT NOTHING BUT STIFF AND HAS BEENS !!!!
now thats a great fighter for you ! take a page out of Calzaghes book Marco and you could have been a great !!!
