Let me ask you this...what do you consider a legend?

What does it take to make a fighter legendary?

They have to take on pretty much everyone that's available...they don't necessarily have to beat all in the game...but as many as possible & they have to do it with style & they have to rule their divisions.

So the fact that Barrera has been on & off top for so long doesn't make any sense to you? Super Flyweight, Super Bantamweight, Featherweight, & Super Featherweight have been pretty much under his thumb for years. Hard to argue with that.

The fact that he beat Morales, Hamed, Ayala, Kelley, Maurin, Tapia, & Sanchez mean something...they may not all be names that you know...but they were great fighters...some of the better that he could face.

The fact that he beat the top names & all his mandatories doesn't make sense to you?


Then you just don't wanna face facts.

So yeah...I respect the man & consider him to be one of the great legendary fighters of my time.
