He'll probably get more chances, and he might win a belt if he's matched right. But I've given up on him changing his ways, I'm not saying he's as lazy as Dominic Guinn but he's similar in some ways in that he's just a guy that doesn't seem like he has much drive or energy and that's just who he is.
If the division gets very thin, yeah, he can win a belt. At featherweight, I would give him a good chance against Robert Guerrero, but that's it. I suspect he continues to get shots because the Barrera fights made him a known fighter and he looked very good in the first fight. That first Barrera loss was probably the high point of his career. He may grab a belt briefly at some point, but he'll never be the real man in a division and he'll most likely make his living as a gatekeeper.
