He thought he could just win the same way every time against anyone because Allah was with him... even though he had a couple close calls which should have been wake up calls(Kelly, Sanchez).. But I guess since he always prevailed before, he thought he could just beat Barerra the same way... Or maybe he thought of the fact that Junior Jones KOed him, even though in that fight Jones was damn sharp and much more orthodox then he was... I really dont know. One things for sure, he retired at the right time. Morales or Pac would have handed him his a** even worse, imo.
Ironically I think Nas would have done alot better against Pac and Erik . Mainly cuz theyre easier to hit and have nowhere near the technical ability of Barrera which is what nas struggled with
