Not necessarily bro,should I discard EVERYTHING MAB has been doing over the last 15 years for this sport,all the great fights and all the skill he has brought into the ring just for his last fight(which was a masterful performance nonetheless)? NO!! HELL NO!

And to say Juarez is a lowly fighter is not true at all bro. Juarez is not as good as he could be but that left hook ahs KO'ed NUMEROUS opponents and when you hear Emmanuel Steward say that Rocky is P4P one of the hardest punchers around,it's a miracle MAB took the punch. I could say the same about Pac, a fewmonths ago,he was shaken to his boots by Larios,a guy who just moved up 2 divisions to fight him!

I just MAB v Jesus Salud(one of THE great boxing performances I have ever seen) and I also saw a fewother MAB fights and I think iof anyone can beat PAC it's MAB. He'll be training for this fight like no other,he knows the task at hand and with veterans like B Hop/Oscar etc around him, after seeing his Mexican rival Morales destroyed and after remembring the beating he took from Pac the last time out, we may very well see one last GREAT MAB perfomance. Even I admit that I am guilty of not giving this guy enough credit at times,he is a TRUE legend in every definition of the word! I just honestly hope he ahs enough left to go to war. He hasn't really has to since 04? I hope he has some Mexican fire left in the tank because if he ahsnt',that mosnter Pacman(who I have ALOT of respect for and I think is P4P number1) will destry MAB again!
A beautiful posting. I would click you but you've been clicked already, young Mr Gamo..
Thanks bro,I nailed that one didn't I? LOL,I'm a bit shocked at my spelling mistakes though,laziness!! Already clikced you today too but I totally agree with your other post,I think MAB won the first Juarez fight by 2 and I've seen it three times. The big deal was made because Rocky gave MAB a much tougher fight than most expected and because of the controversy with the cards but I don't know anyone that actually thought Rocky won and MAB did not have to give him a rematch,Rocky didn't earn a shot in the first place!
You got it spot on, a most adroit posting. Succinct and to the point. I likes that jazz! Rocky did better than expected. The busted up nose hardly helped things, but Barrera worked it and got the result. The rematch was a shut out clear and simple. No, it wasnt exciting...but it was a job well done.

MAB is now at the stage when a Pac rematch is possibly at its most opportune moment. Pac is coming off of thrashing Morales and now the MAB doubters are out in force, along with the Pac fanatics!!!

MAB is no fool. He's aware of what the situation is. He has worked since the last Pac fight to work on those underestimated boxing skills and build his confidence back up. Morales as great as he was, was perhaps very wrong to jump into an immediate rematch with Pac. He paid the price. Barrera has been very wise. He has taken his time, and for Barrera to be underestimated, which he currently undoubtably is, is to be very churlish indeed...

Barrera has it in him to really break against the current popular tide...
Excellent post bro and I totally agree. Like I said earlier, I myself have been guilty of underestimating Marco's capabilities and Pac will be a favourite but man,I just watched more of MAB's fights and his ability to come back from a loss with an excellent performance is under rated and unparalelled. I thought he beat Junior Jones the second time,won the third with Morales and like you said, he has been working on his boxing skills and may be conserving that fury for Pac? That final war?

The thing with Morales is Pac beat him badly the second time and Erik did take off alot of time after that fight but he just did not have enough left in the tank..I'm hoping Marco does have more left and also,with his boxing skills,who knows?

I tell you now though,if MAB beats Pac,that would be SUCH an amazing achievement! And if Pac wins,you won't be hearing any excuses from me. His willingness to fight the best is refreshing and he has a great,exciting style. If Manny wins,he'll cement his place as P4P number 1 without a shadow of a doubt!
