And who the hell is managing Barrios? Guzman and Marquez....those are about two of the most nightmare style matchups out there for him. Freitas, Diaz, Barrera, Pacquiao, Morales, Casamayor or even Valero all make for a fairly good fight for him and he has a shot of winning them all imo, but Marquez just obliterates him imo.

Bring on the MAB - JMM fight I could see that 1000 times and would never complain. IMO, the first one was ridiculously close even though over the course of the entire fight JMM was probably more effective.

Then Pac - Valero

Then Barrios - Diaz/Freitas

And then you have 3 FOTY quality fights. I am down for the MAB - JMM rematch but I can see how people want JMM - Pac II, but it's never happening imo.
I TOTALLY agree,JMM v mab was an all time classic but MAB was saying that was his best camp since v Nas and EM 3 and I thought JMM saw the best of him and beat him comfortably. Pac-JMM2 is unresolved business and IF they wait any longer to make,JMM will be further on the slide,his defence is already on the wane!

As for Barrios,you're totally right,he struggles against any world class technician imo. Although in his last fight,he was punching straighter,he was open to counters alllll niight long and no one counters better than JMM P4P imo.

Pac will fight Valero on Macua(if they build that stadium) I think OR Soto after Soto beats his brother's ass(you can see the angle for that one). However,all of Manny's fights are dependent on his opponent so there may be a period of inactivity for the Pac monster.

Barrios Diaz would be awesome and Barrios Freitas has one of best finishes I have ever seen!
