Re: how do you remember barrera?
I remember Barrera as the greatest. He could do it all
He came back from Jones defeat and should have got the return . He twice avenged the Morales defeat but I dont think he should have lost the 1st one anyway . Not Only did he take Eriks zero but he dominated another undefeated p4p superstar in Naseem Hamed . Who else beats unbeaten superstars like Barrera did ? The Marquez fight could have gone Barreras way if justice prevailed and in the Pac rematch Barrera showed he could cruise through 12 rounds without ever being troubled even though he was past his best.
He had thrillers with Kenndey Mckinney and was in the best fight ever vs Morales. He punched both those guys in the face pre fight to add a little spice so the man was a master who knew what he was doing
Very inteligent, trained to be a lawyer, played for Mexicos second division soccer team, then he was part of the fastest rising promotional company, he had a longer shelf life at the top than any of his rivals and has been described by over seas impartial media as " unbeatable"
The man was amazing and Im gutted I never got to see him when he came over to England to destroy Paul Lloyd inside a round
Marco Antonio Barrera
the greatest of them all

Re: how do you remember barrera?
marco was one of my all time faves.Originally Posted by GAME
i, too, believed hes 3-0 to morales
i remembered the mckinney fight as the fight that sealed marcos distinction as an exciting superstar. both of them hit the canvass before marco finally punctuated the brawl by koing mckinney in the final round.
of course, theres the salud bout before the hamed fight, in which he showed tremendous improvements in his defense, footworks and overall skills.
the guy was a master craftsman. hes one of the most complete fighters ive ever seen. he can shift comfortably between styles and he can defeat foes by either picking his place in the ring or by engaging them in a toe to toe battle.

Agreed...Barrera is one of the GOATS & I had to rep you on the post.

Re: how do you remember barrera?
It doesnt get much better than Barrera. He was involved in so many great fights and showed a genuine ability to adapt his game as his career evolved. From a top level brawler to a boxer with almost every trick in the book. A very special fighter.

Re: how do you remember barrera?
Marco....
As eloquent and intelligent man outside of the ring as he was a fighter within the ropes.
In his youth he was a lion, his fights as tactical as an urban dirve by shooting.
As he matured he became a sosphisticated general of the ring, constantly calculating.....which punches to throw, when to defend, when to expend energy and ultimately, when to finish.
His career portrays the perfect evolution of a fighter....originating as a firecracker of a fighter he developed and matured into an expiereinced intellectual of the boxing ring. Yet he retained all of his fire, when provoked Marco was nevershy in returning fire, his lions heart meant he never backed from any opponent in his prime.
He was a great and I always mention his name alongside Salvador and perhaps above JC superstar.

Re: how do you remember barrera?
Barrera is one of my all time favorite fighters!! I can't tell you how many times I have watched his wars with Morales, and his brilliance against Hamed. He is one of the smartest boxers in, and outside of the ring.
Honestly, I'm glad that he broke up his partnership with Golden Boy. The guy is smart as hell, and doesn't need them. He can become of great promoter on his own.
It's funny that this was brought up, I was just thinking the other day, that I need to pull out his career set, and do a marathon of his fights.
