The night Barrera fought nin the US for the first time-days after his 18th b-day, he was 21-0, 14kos- I was at ringside and I don't think I've missed a half dozen fights since. Barrera lost to Pac because he is well past his best and has been for some time. (much like Juan Manuel Marquez- I saw his 6th pro fight). Maybe he can pull it together one last time and beat Pac but I doubt it. Make no mistake, Barrera was the far superior fighter. The MAB of 1997 would've eaten Manny. But not anymore.
