The legend returns after over a year out since the farce in England with Amir Khan when he was stopped by a cut caused from a headbutt.
Barrera is now with Top Rank but it hasnt been confirmed. Duno who the opponent is but he is being lined up to fight the undefeated Paulus Moses who may be the best lightweight now that Valero has died.
Also on the bill Jorge Arce and John Duddy vs Chavez Jnr

Why did it take so long to decide this?
I'm glad he is back but there was no reason to wait a year following Amir bloody Khan!
Barrera should be retired.
Gotta wonder if the Morales comeback has anything to do with this.
i seriously don't get how anyone could be excited about either Morales or Barrera coming back
:appl:...I mean it is obvious neither has what it takes anymore to compete with decent fighters let alone world class or elite.....Quote:

thing is Barrera is really putting himself in danger, he's fighting at Lightweight, against a REAL lightweight, who's young, undefeated and making a name for himself based on his punching power, honestly don't see how that's gonna end wellQuote:

I don't know why both are coming back...they are not kidding me....I don't expect them to do much...i am sad that they need to come back.....they have already tarnished their legacy by doing this...please please please get them outta this sport....its suicide!!!
Job Biscuit (Young man's sport....retire please)!!!!
eh eh!!
Exactly. I feel the same way about him as a feel about Roy Jones or Eric Morales or a dozen other former greats. You're old, you're done, give it up before you get hurt.Quote:

Go be a fucking barrister man. Good money and tens of years of work till you want to retire.
You don't need boxing anymore, you made your mark, stop putting dirt on it.
I'm torn on Barrera's latest comeback.Quote:

He has always been one of my favourites and I love watching him fight. In his defence he hasn't been getting knocked out by anyone in recent fights and has the all round skills to probably ensure that he comes to no real harm. The same can't be said for Jones nor Morales.
I will continue to support him and I hope he can get his LW title and then retire with his head held high. The bullshit Khan fight was certainly no way to bow out.
You mean Barrera is also on the Duddy card. ;D Duddy is gonna beat Chavez Jr. and then Arum is gonna hook him up a title shot. This is gonna be a damn good fight, both are about same level. Duddy has more chin/heart, and he's one of my favorite fighters.
...coming back to do what ?
Cue Duddy haters.
