This is where I differ with a lot of people on Barrera. I don't see where he has a lot left in the tank. Against Juarez in the first fight, he looked like an old, tired fighter. He spent the last several rounds just hoping to survive. If that fight was one round longer, he may have been KO'd. In Juarez II, he didn't engage at all, he just jabbed and ran. If Barrera wasn't confident in his ability to trade with someone like Juarez, how will he be able to do it against Pacquiao?
Who says he wants to trade with Pac ? The one huge advantage he has over Pac is boxing ability and class so he will fight with his head in this 1 not his heart . The difference in the two Rocky fights is he wasnt as focused in the 1st as he was in teh 2nd and look at teh change it m made .
