Barrera was told by his corner between rounds not to open up . It was his first fight without his long time trainer and he didnt look good at all . Maybe it was age cuz he was a decade past his best and we could see vs Juarez and Marquez he was on the slide . I think he still did well cuz he went 12 easy rounds and breezed through a fight with a guy whos supposed to be a killer and Barrera was supposed to be washed up .
I dont think Barrera showed himself as being on the slide against Juarez nor Marquez. He held his own IMO and was unlucky in the Marquez fight with that uncalled KD

Against Pac the second time out, I do think that Barrera looked old though. That was a totally different Barrera and Ive never seen him so gun shy.
Nah Barrera must have been in decline in those fights cuz in his prime he would have battered Juarez and Marquez . Here though he chose to outbox em . He didnt have the stamina or desire he once had .
In Barrera's prime he would have battered Juarez, but in no way would've battered Marquez. Marquez is too skilled for that. Maybe a younger Barrera would beat Marquez but that's a maybe.
Well said Caleoh. With regards to Manny,he had an awful 2007 and needs to pick up the pace in 08. He seems to be doing that by taking the JMM fight and the David Diaz fight straight after.With P4P lists becoming so competetive,if he wants to retain his place,he needs to fight tough fights.
