Both are impressive wins. But pac's win was waaay more impressive..
Pacquiao is supposed to be an easy tune up for barrera. Pacquiao was a nobody that time and he ****d barrera relentlessly infront of the mexican crowd in san antonio.
Both were great victories, and probably Floyd and Pac's best wins respectively. Personally, I think Floyd's win over Chico (RIP) is more impressive. As great of a win as Pac had against Barrera in their first fight Marco had already been through countless wars and was probably no longer in his prime, but Pac still KO Barrera and he gets full credit for that.
However, Mayweather fought a young, undefeated, and prime Corrales. At the time of the fight both guys were on the p4p list. Furthermore, Floyd put on one of the best boxing exhibitions I've ever seen. Floyd proceeded to knock Corrales down 5 TIMES and got the KO in the tenth round. Who thought a much smaller Mayweather would KO the power punching Corrales? That performance is without a doubt one of the best boxing performances I've ever seen, that's the stuff legends are made of.
Thoughts?
The fact that Mayweather/Corrales even has 113 votes says it all.
The level of imbeciles/ethnic supporters is too damn high.
Pacs win was more impressive both great but Berrera and Corralles mayb he RIP are not on the same level berrera is an ATG his resume is a level above Chico
you seem to be super bias in your opinon
look at it as if it was your own resume ...a dominate win over chico or a KO over the ATG Mexican borrales?
whiich would you prefer? and i wouldnt say he was "past prime" just yet as he was coming off back to back to back wins over KELLY,TAPIA,MORALES,SANCHES AND HAMED............
Barrera is a great fighter but his status got a lil overblown when he beat Hamed...the same people who trashed the prince( like hbo and his haters) and said he was a hypejob made barrera out to be the best thing since sliced bread when he beat him....weird huh
Barrera took 2 losses to jr jones prior and was slightly past prime. adapted a boxer puncher style because of past wars and wear and tear of 50+ fight career.
Corrales was undefeated and favored over Floyd(yes very rare)
both were considered among the best young fighters in the sport, undefeated, dominated everyone....it was supposed to be the jr. lightweight leonard vs hearns but Mayweather completely undressed him.
also both campaigned at or around 130....who would you favor....Barrera vs Corrales....imo Corrales sparks out Barrera who doesnt have the speed of foot and hand or elusiveness that bothered him like Casamayor, frietas and floyd
also barrera was a sucker for the straight right....sleepy time
Corrales was the more dangerous opponent at the time of the fight, Barrera is remembered as the greater fighter but IMO Corrales is hall of fame material
only fighters he never beat that he faced was an ATG(Mayweather) and a 170 pound Clottey at ww
You speak the truth my dudebut Pac vs. MAB will still most likely get the most votes because 90% of the posters on this board are *******s and Floyd haters or both
You just don't see guys with Floyd's skill level very often.
U right cuz Messicans aint gotz no skeelz my dude dey is all face first brawlaz e-z work fo any brudda.
But i do agree Floyds win over Corrales was better BUT its bcuz no1 had ever done that to Corrales before. Barrera had gotten his ass whooped before Pacquiao had beat his ass.
Corrales looked like a character out of Mike Tyson's punch out next to Floyd, lol. I'd slightly pick the Barrera win though because I hold Barrera to a slightly higher regard for how he dismantled the long reigning #1 feather in Hamed. No disrespect to Floyd's win - that fight probably had the highest number of experts picking against him than at any other point in his career and he showed up strong.
