    he wont be the force he was though . just ask jones what impact coming down 2 weighst has on you . Plus Manny will be looking for a title holder at lightweight cuz his name will be worth nothing and cant pick his opponents unless he is number 1 .

    I agree with that. This is one of the reasons I didn't want Manny to take the fight. Moving up and down weight like that will only mess him up for future fights.

    I don't think a loss to Oscar will hurt Manny's ranking or p4p standings. Other than the weight issue.

    i don't think anyone on this forums loves to watch barrera as much as me, but i'm not sure i want to see him fight again as i realy just don't see the fire in him anymore, not since he fucked moarles up in thier final fight.

    If he can come into the ring with the hunger he once had he can get into the top 5 p4p again, but i just don't see it sadly.

    I love Barrera, he is one of my all time favs, and if he feels that he can still compete at a high level, I say go for it.

    However, for the life of me, I can't understand why he would sign a 5 year deal with Don King of all people. Plus, I don't think he has 5 good years left in him, maybe one or two.

    The only thing I can think of, is if somehow Marco worked out some sort of partnership/promotership deal with Don. Don is getting up there in age, and maybe Marco's the man to take over when Don is done. Marco is an extremely smart guy, and could do well with the business.

    I had the exact same question, why is he signing a 5 years contract at this stage of his career But, I think this is more a secure for Don (for himself) because sometimes these boxers at this stage retire and then come back several times. I believe that Don is trying to assure that if this happens Barrera will fight for him. After all he will be always attractive to the public.

    My other thought is, why is Barrera coming back I believe that he should stay retired as well as Morales...

    Of course,just because a guy is retired doesnt mean there are arent promotional opportunities.
    3 years from now when he's retired,Don will have him on Telemundo hocking Goya

    Total admiration for the bloke don't really want to see him do it for five years but I'm sure he can still compete at a reasonable level and hope he doesn't get hurt

    Bit of a shame really hes coming back. One of the best fighters of the last 10-15 years.

    Especially considering i felt in his last fight with Pac man he pretty much went into survival mode over the last few rounds.

    However even if he loses 4 of his next 5 fights he will still be a great

    There are ZERO reasons why MAB & Erik should still be fighting.
