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.
