Barrera comeback! June 26th Alamodome Texas

[Pugilistic]

Barrera should be retired.

[J_Undisputed]

Gotta wonder if the Morales comeback has anything to do with this.

i seriously don't get how anyone could be excited about either Morales or Barrera coming back

...I mean it is obvious neither has what it takes anymore to compete with decent fighters let alone world class or elite.....

Sad KO endings possibly serious damage in the future for them....I hope either someone decides to not license them or talk sense into them....

thing is Barrera is really putting himself in danger, he's fighting at Lightweight, against a REAL lightweight, who's young, undefeated and making a name for himself based on his punching power, honestly don't see how that's gonna end well

I know and I gave the applaud smilie because you included both Barrera and Morales in the statement.....These 2 guys are headed for disaster

[Otley]

I don't know why both are coming back...they are not kidding me....I don't expect them to do much...i am sad that they need to come back.....they have already tarnished their legacy by doing this...please please please get them outta this sport....its suicide!!!

Barrera should be retired.

Exactly. I feel the same way about him as a feel about Roy Jones or Eric Morales or a dozen other former greats. You're old, you're done, give it up before you get hurt.

I have very little interest in seeing Barrera continue to fight.

I'm torn on Barrera's latest comeback.

He has always been one of my favourites and I love watching him fight. In his defence he hasn't been getting knocked out by anyone in recent fights and has the all round skills to probably ensure that he comes to no real harm. The same can't be said for Jones nor Morales.

I will continue to support him and I hope he can get his LW title and then retire with his head held high. The bullshit Khan fight was certainly no way to bow out.

[No Contest]

You mean Barrera is also on the Duddy card. Duddy is gonna beat Chavez Jr. and then Arum is gonna hook him up a title shot. This is gonna be a damn good fight, both are about same level. Duddy has more chin/heart, and he's one of my favorite fighters.

[Mar]

...coming back to do what ?

[No Contest]

Cue Duddy haters.

[No Contest]

Barrera hung in against Pac, he didnt get ktfo like Hatton, Cotto, And odlh. I didnt see the Khan fight, and I think he was getting outboxed, but wasnt it a headbutt? Give him a chance, this isnt in the Holyfield category yet.

The worst cut in recent memory. The fight should have been ruled a NC after 3 rounds really as it was from a clash of heads. That fight was a disgrace.

I agree, Barrera is hardly in Holyfield territory here. He doesn't really need to fight, but that last showing didn't really tell us anything about Khan nor Barrera.

Exactly. Pac destroys guys like Oscar, Hatton and Cotto but Barrera cruises through 12 without ever looking like going down but its Barrera who people are saying should retire. He did well in that fight for a washed up fighter, the commentary even said it was a draw or a Barrera win. Then came the fight/ farce headbutt from Khan where it would have been ruled a NC in any other Country but this one. Khan has since won a world title. Barreras other big fight was a close 1 with Marquez where he landed more punches statistically, he was the less marked up at the end and he scored the only knockdown. Floyd didnt stop Marquez and he only put him down once aswel.

So it annoys me when people call for fighters retirement. If you dont like watching old men like Hopkins and Jones then dont tune in but you cant stop them from earning a living.
