Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!

[Drago]

good news for barerra!

but i believe khan would of beaten him easily if he hadnt of been cut, & i dont even like writing this as i really like the guy

[BoxingChaos]

MAB has nothing left.

He was getting schooled by Khan and that is a fact. Cut or no cut, Khan was just to good for MAB, which proves MAB is no longer what he once was and everyone knows it including himself. Why is he fighting again? Why doesn't he fight Morales again? That is the hot ticket and since both want to continue fighting, why not fight the man you hate the most?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

why? to be the first 4 weight mexican champ.

That's terrible news not good news.

Moses isn't the world champ. He has some shitty WBA version stripped off Marquez. Who regards him as champ? Come on now.. is he even top 10 Ring ranked?

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Marquez is the 'super' champion.

[Fenster]

Marquez is the 'super' champion.

Marquez is the super but also "rightful" WBA champ.

It was Juan Diaz before the WBA decided to make him "super" champ. Obviously Marquez beat Diaz.

And obviously the WBA only split up the title to make more money out of it. So obviously it means shit. Like all alphabets.

Anyway.. Marquez is linear champ through beating Casamayor. So Barrera would need to beat him for "world champion" to mean anything.

How many guys get a title shot by fighting and beating the top guys 1 through 10? I have no question that the 'super' title is a load of crap but I don't think it's fair to suggest that other boxers don't work the system.

Actually, Moses was WBA champion when they decided to make the Marquez vs. Diaz fight for the vacant WBA 'Super' Title purely because the vacant WBO belt was on the line. Marquez is only WBA champion because that organisation is full of shit.

MAB is going to get sparked and it will be a sad thing to see. I doubt I even tune into this one.

I wasn't even able to see Tyson on Opera because they were breaking him down, so I just shut it off because that is not the kind of memory I want to be left with about Iron Mike. I was not even a huge fan of his but at the end of the day, he was feared in the ring before his life got flipped upside down.

I don't wanna see MAB fight on to be honest, he don't have the same guts and heart he once had.

The Ring has him at 7
The belt he got don't mean but he is becoming an impressive lightweight
Fast jab-nice work rate-solid power & works the body well
Love Barrera-but Moses is a jive dude
The Hitman should dominate

I admit I haven't seen him fight but I would say at this stage if he comes forward and looks to fight that is favourable to Barrera (& possibly to moses but like I say I've not seen him) rather than a runner he has to cut off.

Barreras a warrior & won't come off as some jive ass punk
Moses might be just hitting his peak

That says it all. The world champion is rated the 7th best fighter in his divison by the Ring. Saddo Ratings don't even have him in the top 10. Only a handful of hardcore boxing fans on this site would have seen him fight. The world champion
