that was because of his style, if he would have fought in the style of winky or bernard he would have also had a long career. barerra who also had a slugging come forward style like erik incorporated a boxer's style to prolong his career. erik is a very underated boxer and had the skills to become a pure boxer but in his words "If I think about defence then who is going to come to watch me"
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
