Barrera just fought as competively as one can do against Marquez without getting a knockdown scored. This is no shot Barrera. He did better than Pac against Marquez IMO...

He can still hang at the top. Barrera can and will fight for 12. Pac has been picking on left overs for a while now. Barrera can still impress. Im surprised he is being written off by so many.

Its a pick 'em and if Barrera is hungry enough then he can take it....
I agree that MAB is NOT a shot fighter. Most people saw that when he KD Marquez.

I just hope people (like you miles) who believes that MAB is NOT a shot fighter would give Pac some credits if he beats MAB for the 2nd time.

I will hate to hear "Pac beat up another shot fighter".

Of course I would give Pac his credit especially so if he was to beat Barrera convincingly. Morales did have serious issues losing that weight. And was on a losing streak when faced against Pac for the the final fight. Hindsight does indeed suggest a steep slide if not indeed being on the way to being shot.

Barrera has just come off a close fight with Marquez. If the knockdown had been ruled correctly I had Barrera winning somewhat convincingly. Barrera is not shot and is able to adapt his gameplan at the top level.

A Pac fight will be close. I dont know why so many are opposed to this fight. If Larios or Solis were worthy of fights then Barrera is actually a step back up and with it being Barrera's last fight then nobody should deny him going out the way he wants.

many are opposed to this fight cos there are worthier opponents for manny at this point. pac has nothing more to prove against barrera since manny got his number and i don't see what mab could do differently especially now that he's starting to slide and manny on the other hand has improved from their first meeting. solis and larios were just tune-up matches. bring us jmm-pac, guzman or valero-pac. even soto is a more interesting match-up for manny.

i agree with julius rain that this fight is about the money for gbp and toprank. in a way manny owes barrera this fight for giving him the opportunity to be placed on the boxing map. marco deserves a big payday going into his retirement and what better way than a chance to avenge the worst loss of his career and i wouldn't discount that he still has the ability to do exactly that because in boxing one punch could turn the tide of a fight.
Nice posting
