MAB in his prime and at his best was one of the most versatile fighters ever. His presence and view of the ring was amazing.
A fighter that could adapt to any style and just dominate def. top 3 Super Bantams all time and most def. an ATG.
I learned to respect MAB late in his career, the rivalry between he and Erik blinded me and I never gave MAB the time of day. This doesn't mean I didn't know how great MAB was it just means my fanboyism never let me acknowledge it. Having been able to get a hold of 45 fights of MAB I've been able to see how this dude was like a mongoose and just beat opponents.
Crazy to think he announced his retirement after only wining his 1st title vs. Jimenez in 1995.
MAB embodied all the great points of warrior in the ring, technically brilliant always exciting he could lead, counter, blitz and defend and he did them all exceptionally. If you were going to pick the skills that you would want in a perfect fighter it is likely that MAB had those skills. He brought us a trilogy for the ages, and ducked noone. Very little negative to say about him.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I am a Morales man because MAB sucker punched him but was a big fan of MAB and his fight with McKinney was one of the most exciting fights around. His first fight with Morales was the best fight I have ever seen. So I guess he was quite good.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
My all time favorite fighter. He could do it all...brawl as well as anyone, box as well as anyone, or do both. Intelligent, proud, and resilient. He was able to adapt his style for the occasion and is responsible for some of the most memorable fights in boxing history.
Barerra, simply was A Fucking Great Fighter That is all![]()
