In terms of career wins and longevity Barrera will go down as the greater fighter.

CC right back.

There is a lot of criticism of Barrera in the wake of the Pac fight. I think most of the cynicism comes from those who predicted a Pac knockout and were let down by just how far from it he was.

Barrera has had a great career. And just taken the pound for pound number 2 fighter to the distance in a close fight. Its not all that bad a way to go out when all is said and done. He wasnt beat down and the rounds he lost were not heavily one sided.

Barrera is a calculated fighter these days. Perhaps a little too calculated this time out, but at 33 pushing 34 perhaps thats the wise option. Maybe.
