Thread: Pacman: I can beat Soto, Barrera!

if Barrera goes against Pac again it aint going to be pritty. I really hope he does Pac will murder him, Barrera has looked very lathargic in his last few fights and i doubt it will go beyond 6

Barrera didn't look spectacular in his fight with Marquez because that's how good Marquez is. Marquez can change and adapt his plan and that's what he did against Barrera. Marquez figured out how Barrera was landing his counter and then he put a stop to it.

Wow! I must have been watching a completely different fight than some of you. The Barrera/Marquez match was the fight of the year for me. Two tremendously skilled fighters with great heart. They where both razor sharp in that fight...and as far as Barrera not looking pretty...he knocked Marquez down with a beautiful shot AFTER Marquez thought he had him finished....that's how much heart and skill Marco has. That fight was extremely close and in my mind controversial. Marquez's battered face at the end of the fight showed how tough a fight it was. And please...Barrera fought one of the best pure boxers in the sport and fought him damn well, while Pac has fought a bunch of stiffs (who by the way...he by no means "murdered") and a washed up Morales in his recent fights. All of this doesn't mean that i don't think Pac wouldn't beat Marco in a rematch...but a fighter of Barrera's skill, intelligence, and heart would be no walkover for Manny. And as i stated earlier...the Barrera rematch would generate the most interest and $$$ for Pac.
