The Great Marco Antonio Barrera - when was his prime?

[ICB]

The Barrera from 1994-2000 beats the Barrera from 2000 and upwards. Barrera defense was only slightly better than before. He still took a ton of punches. And that happen cuz he had to compensate for his declining offense. Look at the the Mckinney and 2nd Jones fight (which he should of won). Look at the pace he set and the way he attacked. He couldn't go at that pace for a whole fight any more after the first Morales fight. Why? He was older. The wars had token some toll on him. He no longer was in his prime. It's really not that hard to understand. The reason why some don't get it is pretty obvious. They have no idea who Barrera was pre-Naseem Hamed. So they can't entertain the thought of him being prime prior to Hamed cuz they never knew he existed back than. Understandable, I guess.

I thought he lost the 2nd Junior Jones fight by one point, i thought MAB done very well early on outboxing Junior Jones, but Junior Jones come on in the 2nd half, sweeping the later rounds. By fighting his heart out, plus MAB had a point deducted. Here was a scorecard i done ages ago.

1 Jones
2 Barrera
3 Barrera
4 Barrera
5 Barrera
6 Barrera
7 Jones
8 Jones
9 Jones 10-8
10 Jones
11 Jones
12 Barrera

114-113 Jones

I've never read a legitimate source that thinks it was a robbery.
