Chico at the time of the Floyd fight was a bonified beast. Smoke Gainer wasn't no chump.

Justin Juuko?
Corrales was overrated on a pfp level at the time, in a big way.
Floyd smoked him though, it a pretty amazing performance but looking spectacular against a lesser fighter doesn't beat looking excellent against a significantly more skilled and better fighter in all aspects.

Barrera is a legend, Corrales is not.
Barrera has proved his abilities at the highest level time and time again but Corrales always fell short.
Barrera > Corrales.
Think that obvious.

Chico was unbeaten. Barrera had been knocked out by Junior Jones.
Barrera before fighting Pac had beaten the likes of Hamed, Morales, McKinney, Tapia and Kelly. Every one of those wins is better than any win Corrales at that point in his career.
and I could even bring up the fact that Corrales was unfocused, stressed out from being in court and having found out pretty recently that he was going to jail prior to the Mayweather fight, but that seems unnecessary.

In Pacquiao-Barrera, Pacquiao was the underdog. In Mayweather-Corrales, Mayweather was the favorite. I'm a big Mayweather fan but I won't deny that his resume, although it does not look bad, sucks for a fighter with his talent and skills. There could've been Cotto, Margarito, Tszyu, Forrest, Pacquiao, or even Berto, etc. in his resume. $h!t, he could've clean out the welterweight division when it was considered the glamour division in '07 but he retired like a b!tch after fighting HitandHugMan Hatton.

pac was supposed to be a tune up fight for barrera. he had to go one weight up to accept the fight. nobody expected him to win...he was a huge underdog and for all good reasons.
i can't remember if floyd was the underdog going into the fight with corrales but even if he was it should be close.
going by those circustances, i would say pac's win was more impressive. he defied the odds and gave barrera his worst beating so far.

MAB never won a single round other than the first. And the only reason he won that round is because Laurence Cole ruled a knockdown on Pac when clearly it was a slip..MAB was being dominated from the start to a KO finish..
You equate that plus the fact that MAB status as P4P# 3, and at the height of his career, then its clear that it was a better win..
