Yeah coming down in weight effects fighters badly . Look at Morales and Roy Jones . It effected Barrera too but he's recaptured his form .

I remember b4 the rematch with Juarez everyone was saying Barreras finished but me and you werent impressed with Juarez . I think Miles agreed aswel . People thought that was the best Barrera could do against a young hungry challenger but the rematch proved us right . It was all about Barrera not being as focused as he should be . Its the same set up with Pac . He wasnt focused in that 1 but he will be in teh return and we'll see the difference it makes
CC, for these posts. You make valid points. Yeah,good memory,I didn't think much of Rocky at the time and the rematch vindicated that. Again,people think it is excuses but it is not and MAB proved it. He was affected by other factors during the first Juarez fight and he proved it with the second fight, putting on a brilliant boxing performance. As with the first Pac fight, there were outside factors as I mentioned before that contributed to a poor overall performance for MAB and I expect a marked improvement the second time around.
