I've backed Manny all the way as well, and I think he's an incredible fighter, but MAB never loses twice, second time round he's always much better. It was Barrera v Juarez II where hatton was carrying his belt, he was probably about 168lb and he was wearing a sombrero!
Well technically speaking MAB lost to Junior Jones twice and I swear the third Morales fight was a draw!!!!! >:mad ;D LOL,yea that's it,he was wearing that sombrero! LMAO@Hatton!Quote:

I am a huge Marco fan and I definitely think he will fight better in the rematch. However, this will be the biggest challenge he has ever faced. While i don't think Pac has improved as greatly as many people on this board claim...there is no question that he is a tremendous athlete. Strong, fast, and a full pressure style make Manny a formidable force. Barrera has a big edge in ring intelligence and technique, but he is not a young warrior who can brawl for 12 rounds. However, you never count out a master boxer who still has something left in the tank....and unlike Morales...Marco still has something left. He has paced himself in the latter part of his career (by not just being a brawler) and has never had to kill himself to make weight like Eric. Add to that, that he is as much a cerebral boxer as a physical one...and he also will be a formidable opponent for Manny. Will he have enough to upset Pac? Not sure. But if anyone thinks it will be like the third Pac/Eric fight...they are mistaken. It will be an exciting fight and i hope it happens.
This fight is looking more and more likely!!! :D
Barrera has the most difficult fight of his career on his hands and he is capable of beating Pac. There will be no looking for knockdowns on Barrera's part. Its about being evasive and stealing the rounds by picking his shots with care. Its not easy to avoid somebody as quick as Pac, but it has been done before...
I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOL CLICK MILES very well said!

I thought Morales might have been able to spring up some kind of surprise considering his heart but I was very wrong.
Contrary to Morales, Barrera is on a winning streak and has continued to hone his boxing skills. Its very hard to envision Barrera swinging for the fences as early as the 2nd round. I truly admire Morales and am a huge fan, but its apparent that his skills and physical strength and stamina have diminished. Barrera is still able to go 12 and go at the pace that he himself chooses to set. Pac would not be able to dictate what he wants so easily. Larios went 12 with Pac not so long ago, Pac is not yet the superman who fells everyone in his path.
Obviously, Pacs stock is sky high after the Morales beating...but the victory, though it represents a great deal about the division. it doesnt mean everything. He beat a great warrior, but a great warrior, clearly on the slide....
A second Barrera fight is great for boxing, and can only raise the sports stakes higher. Should be a classic...
i kinda want this fight to go down at STAPLES CENTER. i feel PAC's popularity and stockrise right now is so HOT right now him and the already legend status of MAB can fill the staples center up! Los Angeles being a highly Latino as well as API populated city would be a beauitful back drop setting for this one.Quote:

i love barrera but just think PACMAN has his number doesnt mean both are not great just everybody comes againest a fighter they cant beat i mean does anyone think Junior Jones is better fighter than MAB ? but beat hime 2 times
cheers chaps
Yeah Larios met this apprently " new and improved " version of Manny and he went 12 and rocked Manny along the way . And who is Larios ? A washed up superbantam who cant punch and was given no hope . What was Morales ? Another washed up ex superbantam who hasnt won for a while and killed himslef to make the weight . Barrera is leagues apart from these two . Pacs not been in with a live opponent for a while and when he finally does meet someone with a pulse he'll be in for a shockQuote:
