Yes Barrera is a modern legend like Morales, but Pacquiao will be non-stop relentless attack, the only way I see Barrera winning is by keeping his distance and punishing Pacquiao with counters and not get drawn into a toe to toe encounter.

Allthough if Barrera manages to keep his distance and frustrate Pacquiao and hurt him a few times with sharp precise counters and body shots, he well could afford to go toe to toe in rounds 11 and 12 as they only way Barrera will win is by points decision.

That’s my case for Barrera.

My heart says Barrera can do it, but my head says Pacquiao.
The recent win for Pac was very impressive, but lets get it into a little perspective. Pac beat a Morales who hasnt fought in a year and a morales who was coming off of a first stoppage. Instead of raising his will to box, he sought to trade and came off the worse again. A stategic kamikaze from the off. Morales fought a very flawed fight.

MAB has a more in the tank. Has watched Pac since their last fight and focussed on his ability to box. MAB can adapt more than Morales and resist the urge to please the crowd.

Its not about my heart, my head says MAB can beat Pac...
