2.Speed and power overvelm MAB
3.All great figter have one last hurrah in them,that's why
4.Donaire beating mikay garcia
1. It should be among his top 5 fights, perhaps at no. 5 just because it's the fight that put him in the world boxing map, so to speak.
2. As Barrera himself admitted, he didn't know Pac so he had no idea how to prepare for what turned out to be a whirlwind of a fighter who was hungry for international recognition.
3. Manny used his speed and movement with Barrera, but mistakenly brawled with Morales who, at that time, was tougher and more experienced.
4. Yeah, GGG-Ward, I agree, or maybe Pac-Rios. We can never tell.
I would rank this win first.I think in that first fight with Barrera Pacquiao's combination of speed and power simply overwhelmed MAB like most Pacquiao opponents. Both fighters took some good shots but early Pacquiao's heart/will drove him through a lot of fights. He had sort of the Roy Jones effect early on where athletically he was so far past his opponents at the lighter weights they couldn't keep up. As far as the Morales fight most great fighters have one last harrah in them and I think for Erik that first Pac fight was his after so many fights and wars I'm sure its hard to keep getting up the motivation to push themselves to the limit time and again look at Pacquiao himself in recent years and his steady decline til he ultimately loss two straight
1) #1
2) pac was so hungry and very willing to prove his might
3) betrayed over money by murad and nozario, he was forced to use fluffy gloves, forced to wear a very rough socks, forced to give blood 24hrs b4 the fight twice...
4) agbeko beating rigon

On 15 November,2003..the rise of Manny Pacquaio began with an impressive knock out win over undisputed featherweight champ and P4P ruler Marco Antonio Barrera..who had been on an 11 fight winning run..beating the likes of Morales,Tapia and Hamed.
1.Where do you rank this fight among Pacquaio's best wins?
2.What was the reason behind this one sided ferocious beatdown?
3.How did Pacquiao beat prime barrera but lose to a shot morales?
4.What upset in the current boxing world could match the upset result of this fight...GGG moving up dominating then koing Ward?
