A guy like Soto's gonna have a hard time finding a big fight, he's, IMO, a pretty good fighter, but nobody's heard of him.

I'd like Barrera to end his career with a win over JMM, but at the same time I'd rather see JMM-PAC 2 than MAB-PAC 2.

Agreed. :coolclick:

I still feel Barrera is under respected. people seem to have had enough of him, and I worry that he won't be remembered as on of the best of his generation, IMO he still has a lot left, and will cement his legacy, much like Bernard Hopkins did against Tarver.

You're right. JMM and Pac definitely left more unanswered questions but like I said, you can pull any of those 2 names out of a hat and you have yourself a helluva fight.

Nice.... 8)
Not gonna be picky, and list who I wan't to see fight. They are all true warriors of the sport and whatever we end up with I'm sure it will be great.

sucks em is no longer considered in the mix, wonder who's next to be taken out of the golden era of the featherweights.

I wonder who's gonna be left standing by the end of 2007.

atleast we are due to see a hell of a fight between the remaining greats in the featherweight.

Barrera-Marquez should be an entertaining boxing match, looking forward to it.

The winner in the long run in this whole scenario may be Pacquiao. Neither Barrera nor Marquez are getting any younger, and now whoever wins will have one more tough grueling bout under their belt by the time they get in the ring with Manny.

I want to see both of those fights. I expect a technical fight, both look to counter punch more so JMM which is his natural game. Could be a stinker could be great either way I won't be able to attend :'(

Just realized this is scheduled for March 17th.

Is Wacko Irish? If so, the drunken round-by-round will be a realllllly drunk round-by-round.

MARQUEZ IS GOING TO GIVE BARRERA A BOXING LESSON ;)
