Barrera spent at 27 years old

Naz was trying to get a fight with Barrera as far back as when they were both at super bantem, im not saying Naz wasnt a cherry picker but to even suggest that Naz picked Barrera because he thought he was a spent force is laughable. The reason Barrera was picked is because most people thought he beat Morales in there first fight and was the biggest fight at featherweight.
