    Both are in the HOF, and neither really deserve to be in the HOF. Both were pressure fighters. Barry was without question more talented, but Mancini I would say was tougher.

    Who was better?

    Have these two ever won a fantasy H2H? lol

    I think Mancini was better, but I am a Mancini fan.

    LOL. They tend to be matched in fantasy H2H's with better fighters.

    I like Mancini more, but my objective answer is McGugian.

    I think mid-80s McGugian peaked higher than early-80s Mancini did.

    McGuigan beat Pedroza so he probably was better but Mancini had the better career.
