Everyone seems to be using Barrera as the common opponent but i'd make the suggestion that Nas fought a focused Barrera who was the underdog at fought to the best of his abilities .

Pac fought a Barrera who had interupted training , who was expecting an easy win . In conclusion Nas fought the best version of Barrera and Pac met the worst version . Not the same fighter by any stretch in terms of what he bought to the fight
