I'm not impressed with Juan Diaz

ok maybe i got a little carried away there lol but i honestly think that if the Barrera/Pacquiao rematch would have happened sooner, he could have beaten Pac

What do you think was the strong indication that Marco would have beaten Manny if the rematch have happen right away?

he looked a lot sharper in the fights that followed, and well by the time the rematch did happen Barrera already kinda looked out of it, not shot, just he didn't look as driven

First fight: Pacquiao embarassed Barrera in front of his crowd.

Second fight: It was very conservative fight for Barrera, he just wanted to survive the night, and didn't really wanna engage until the late rounds where he got cut by a punch and penalized for hitting during the break.

Barrera didn't look that sharp to me against Juarez 1. He just boxed well in Juarez 2, that's pretty much it. Barrera was never a threat to Pacquiao because of their styles.

he looked plenty sharp in the Juarez rematch, boxed beautifully using his jab and straight right

Juarez isn't Pacquaio, Marquez dominated Juarez, but he couldn't dominate Pacquiao. Pacquiao had speed which Juarez didn't have, and Barrera was a little slower than Marquez who was just quick enough to capatalize on Manny's technical flaws.

To be fair, both Barrera and Pac looked pretty poor in the second fight. Neither fighter was willing to engage. If Barrera really wanted to he could have made a fight of that. Pac was not himself whatsoever in that fight. Barrera was seemingly going through the motions himself though.

A horrible fight to watch. I would never have expected it to be so dull.

Pacquiao controlled the whole fight and to my surprise actually outboxed Barrera, he showed better timing was the better counter puncher of the two and landed his left a number times both behind the jab and as a lead. I think Pacquiao let loose a few times after Barrera threw a flurry but usually kept a more level headed approach because he was finding it so easy to outbox Barrera.
