Barrera is a business man
i agree with that in makes perfect business sence to avoid another brutal beating

boxing brain that far exceeds that of Pacquiao
So has Angelo Dundee but i'd still pick Pacquiao to KO the ageing trainer

Barreras brain told him the key to winning was to keep Manny at bay and avoid his power like he did against Naz just not get involved... the problem was he couldn't keep him off and got outgunned on every level
Well let me ask you this . How do you compare the condition of Barrera in the Pac fight to that of his condition against Nas. In 1 fight he was toned and in the other he was flabby . I wont say which 1 was which

It makes good business sense to keep the fight on the boil so he gets more $ for it rather than going in with Pac when people just saw him get skooled by Marquez . Barrera knows what he's doing and the fact that so many people are jumping on the Manny bandwagon now , Barrera stands to gain more props when he does beat the Flip fighter . It will make perfect sense , you just havent seen the completed picture yet .

If anyone else had done that to Erik , everyone would accept that the Mexican is washed up but as it is they want to belive Manny is the second coming . You'll all coem crashing down to reality when Pac mixes it with a ring genius like Barrera . I also think Marquez has and will beat him and Guzman stands a decent chance . Lets put last night into perspective and move on .
