Which win is more impressive, Mayweather vs Corrales or Pacquiao vs Barrera 1?

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

i love chico and he was a badass, but he was overrated at the time. his resume was good, not even approaching great like barrera's was.

100% agreed. But I wouldn't call him overrated. He beat everybody they put in front of him till Floyd, and accepted the hardest challenges even after the loss to Floyd. His heart made up for his lack of chin so to speak(IMHO), and there is no denying that Chico(RIP)could ****in crack with the best of um. So I just can't bring myself to say he was overrated Bruhnlaw. Chico vs. JLC I is a throwback classic. IMO one of the best fights in the past 20 years.

Chief, I'm not sure you're following me or I"m not catchin your vibe.

My post was not meant to call out Corrales or say he's garbage, he's not, OBVIOUSLY. But he's no Barrera.

Barerra was stopped once, by pac. the ts is acting like he was washed up because of his grueling fights by the time Pac beat Barrera.

He keeps saying Corrales was prime, but corrales prime< barrera close to prime (arguably).

We on the same page now. I had to play catch up. The only part where I see us agreeing to disagree is weither Chico was overrated. I cant say that. I think Chico earned every bit of his notoriety as a tough customer inside the ropes.

But I do think that Chico was like a spectacular meteorite shower. Hot and bright but fades as it streaks across the sky. That was his career in a nutshell for me.

I do agree with the bolded.

Not lucky at all...I mean being DQ'd would have been a jumpy decision by Tony Weeks. Weeks did the right thing by penalizing Chico and deducting a point from Corrales.

And, I did not call Corrales the greatest fighter of the modern era. I said he was the winner of arguably the greatest FIGHT in the modern era.



Touche

You must like to argue because I doubt he would get in my top 20 of this generation.


And how many times did he spit that gum shield out

The question is which win is more impressive, not who was better Corrales or Barrera asswipe!

chico lost to maywather (the best fighter of our era) an overweight castillo and a ww clottey those don't seem like bad loses to me and i know i left out cassamyor but i just wanted to point out those 3 opponents he lost to because 2 of them were bigger than chico and the other is the best in the game

Performance - Mayweather

Better/More Significant Victory - Pacquaio

I agree.......

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

He was clearly knocked out, but his team came into the ring when they weren't suppose to and he got disqualified. Looks like SOMEONE just took a trip to boxrec though or just needs to watch the fight.

While I understand whatchu sayin potna. Lets not change the outcome of the fight. It was ruled what??????????? TKO or DQ, dont make up your own ending is all I'm sayin.

So great you've seen the fight, so have I. But it's literally been over a decade since I've seen it. How about you?

[$tate of Mind]

I think some of you are misinterpreting the question, I'm asking which win was more impressive, not which win was more significant, or who was better Corrales or Barrera.

I remember that fight with Pac and Barrera. I remember thinking "Who is this guy? Some Asian lamb/Tune-up fight for Barerra....."

He throughly whipped Barerra's Ass. I was a fan from that moment on...

Only a moron argues that corrales was undefeated so that win was better. That's a terrible terrible argument.

Corrales was undefeated. So is lateef kayode I'm pretty sure, uss isn't so is a win over kayode a better win than one over kayode?
