Barrera coming back? Boxrec has him fighting Soto

I dont think Barrera will come back. The Pac fight for me really was the end of it all.

I forgot, he was exposed by Joan Guzman.:-\

You can't be "exposed" by a top class fighter like Guzman. You get beaten. Simple as.

If Guzman beat Pac would he have exposed him? ;)

Let me clarify that, my man fenster. When I say exposed I mean technically not very skilled fighters are exposed for just that by more skilled fighters. These are the fighters who primarily live on their big punches and nothing much more. Once they meet a skilled fighter, like Guzman, they become ineffective and so their deficiency in skills deparment is exposed.

I dont think Barrera is is washed up physicaly, he looked good against a young fighter in Juarez and was fighting on equal terms with Marquez and I couldnt see the bother over the decision. The same Marquez who alot of people would say beat Manny Twice.

Against Manny however, I felt he didnt want to fight for fear of getting stopped, the previous encounter warned him.

I dont think Manny is all that great, he does good things with the skills he has but good boxers make him look silly, the problem is all the good boxers in his previous weights were getting on in age.

He needs to fight Valero or Guzman

Barrera needs to stay retired, being retired means you dont want to fight any more.

I would love to see In Jin Chi come back to boxing, he fights like his life depends on it, he is doing well in K1 at the mo though

no way he just need to stay retired

but box.rec has alfredo angulo vs. andrey tsurkan
a better fight
