With the Marquez barrera fight around the corner a lot of people are saying that barrera's chin is quite suspect. I foremost believe you can't go toe to toe with Erik Morales for 36 rounds and not get even knocked down with a suspect chin.

No. He can be hit, and hurt, but his chin is certainly nowhere near suspect. He has a very good chin, and has only ever been remotely hurt let alone dropped by great punches or an accumlation of good ones.
nope not at all unless its for junior jones
Barrera's speed and stamina may be suspect, just because of age and a lot of tough fights, but I don't think his chin is suspect.
As you said, he spent 36 rounds in the ring with Morales and never went down (although he did go down from a body punch in their second fight, it was ruled a slip but I thought it was a knockdown).
He got battered for 11 rounds by Pacquiao but was on his feet when the fight was stopped. Could Marquez hurt Barrera? Sure. But Barrera's chin isn't suspect.
Pretty unanimous here then, we all know his chins fine. The only cause for concern could be father time catching up with him but I honestly dont think thats the case yet. Marquez will probably give him a tough fight sure, but I can't see Barrera losing this. Besides the way hes changed and adapted his style throughout his carrer shows that hes a smart fighter and I reckon hes got sense enough to be one of the very few great fighters who retire before they are past it. Hes been saying for a while that hes only got about a year left in the sport and I think he'll stick to that. I hoping for a very good year from him hopefully culminating in a rematch with Pacquio and then he retires on top.
MABs chin is not suspect IMO, he has a good chin. Now can his age have changed the way he takes a punch now? Possibly but previous to this no MAB has a really good chin.
Pac's the only one to have hurt him and even then he wasn't KO'ed.
And Junior Jones had him laying on the canvas for relaxation?Quote:

Yeah! man that was no joke.....
You know anytime someones that good you always gotta keep in mind there is always someone out there that has the answer to you..... (Except for Marciano & Lopez ;D )
But yeah! man! Jones had the 'Poison' too bad he pissed his boxing life away.
Whatever happened to his comeback? Do you know anything on it?
Sometimes it takes a whole can of WD-40 and a box of steel wool to get all that rust off ! trust me ;)Quote:

I believe Jones just caught him, Marco never saw that shot coming and also in their rematch marco wasn't hurt and I believe earned a draw.Quote:

Experts compared Nas' power to the bigest in featherweight history . Barrera took his best shots flush without blinking and now theyre trying to say he has a suspect chin ?! Only stopped once in his career and even then he was on his feet
Its a joke

Barrera boxed a completely different fight to Naz than he did against Jones he countered him off the backfoot and used his jab to keep Naz off balance giving him an extra half second to see whatever Hamed was setting up .Quote:

Most KO punches come when a fight is either coming forward or countered whilst throwing his own punch which is usually a hook .
The reasons for this is because of where their feet are ( is ) a fighter digs his feet in a little bit more thus the punch they take has a greater effect and secondly they are off balance and have leant alittle too far with their own punch postioning their body weight forward .
They are also normally slightly closer to their opponent and dont see the punches coming .
Barrera learnt from this he boxed more and used more straight punches and his feet better .
The answer is no he doesnt :) simple one this

barrera suspect chin, your joking right, hes as tough as a brick wall
I agree with your entire post . CCQuote:

Marco will pay more attention to his defence but at teh same time stay assertive . Abit like he was in the 1st Morales fight . His hands were high but he was the one taking the fight to Erik
IblinI blinked....god dammit I missed it!!!Quote:
