Marco was no doubt the better p4p fighter while our current top two p4p were still making their way up.
He was never better than PBF. And how was he better than Pac? He deserved to be rated higher because he was more established but he obviously wasn't better.
Fucks sake, look back a few years would you.
WTF are you talking about? He said that when MAB was top 3 p4p he was clearly better than the current top 2 were at that time, the top 2 being PBF and Pac. He lost his top 3 status when Pac demolished him so he wasn't better than him. MAB was top 3 when he was at 126. Do you think he could've moved up to 130 and beat PBF? I don't.

Are you sincearly trying to say that Pacquiao is a more gifted over all fighter then Barrera was at his peak?.....Lets be honest here...I like Pacquiao as much as the next guy but he is not a great boxer...he is strong,,has a great chin and sets a fast pace that allows him to dictate the tempo of the fight in his favor......Over all though his boxing skills themselves are not great...Barrera is/was a great boxer who could fight when need be...Pacquiao is just a guy who can fight his a** off...there is a difference.....take away either his chin or his power and all you have is another fighter....he was blessed with the combination of these things....But even these can not help him against a master boxer...

EG- JMM Manny got the 3 knockdowns in the first and all he could manage was a draw?...why is that?...he is ranked higher then JMM P4P.....I'll tell you why...he was outboxed during the rest of the fight and his power and chin were taken away as factors for him....Same goes for the 1st Morales fight...he was outboxed....

Do not confuse Fighter with Boxer
