As for the Morales fight,well Morales fighting style is totally different to MAB. Also, MAB waited how many years before a rematch?? His skills have only dwindled over time and Manny's have improved. Manny 100% will KTFO MAB again. If not,MAB has a chance but a small one imo.

I don't think it's under estimating,it's being realistic.Look at all the factors I've mentioned,it makes Manny a hot favourite and he has only improved since their first fight,MAB has not.
It's not often I completely disagree with your post, but this one had me scratching my head all the way through.

First off, MAB doesn't have the stomach to go to war? Are you kidding? MAB - JMM is FOTY for me, that was an absolute war and they literally went punch for punch, landing and throwing identical numbers. The reason he outboxed Juarez was because he could and he felt Juarez' power in the first bout, power that I think is tops in the division as far as one punch goes. So he outboxed him.

Manny 100% KTFO Mab? You mean the guy who couldn't get Oscar Larios out of their and had to wait for a cut to get Solis out is going to 100% KO one of the 3 best 129 lbers on the planet? 100%? It sounds like you're completely writing off MAB and I have no idea why, this ALWAYS happens and he ALWAYS comes out smelling like roses.

And it's not being realistic, anyone who watched MAB - Manny saw that MAB just had never seen anyone like Manny and didn't know how to react. Now, not only has MAB seen Manny, he's seen him beat. He's seen that he can be countered and out moved on his feet, two things MAB is great at.

I think Manny is going to have a bit to much for MAB but this won't be the domination it was last time unless MAB is just a shot fighter. And anyone who watched him battle JMM knows that he is NOT a shot fighter. He isn't going to be overwhelmed like he was last time.
Very good posting

Barrera is the underdog and as you point out...it isnt for the first time.

Ive heard a lot of silly arguments such as a) Barrera is fighting just for the money b) Barrera is 100% getting knocked out c) Pac is nigh on indestructable

All 3 arguments are utter tripe and show a complete lack of understanding of both of the fighters involved. I am a Barrera fan but above all a boxing fan. I am glad that this fight is taking place. Pac will be the favourite and I respect why this is the case. Barrera has a tough task but Barrera is such a smart boxer. Its highly unlikely he will perform worse second time out.
