that would have been pure action and probably might even be beneficial to pacquiao and make him remember his old hi-octane non-stop offensive style that takes a lot more risks. who knows, if there is enough public demand, pacquiao might even take on morales and barrera at the same time LOL

i remember how he sucker punched pacquiao from a clinch during their 2nd fight

Yeah I remember that too. He did afew things like that throughout his career and its what made him such a likeable character. He realises its over now but he started in 1989 and his physical prime was really in the 90's but most notable wins came in the naughties. His rivals were were ususally younger than him and nobody else started in the 80's. I think Marquez is a similar age but he didnt have any big fights until afew years ago. Whilst Barrera was dominating in the 90's Pac was being destroyed by bums and Erik had hardly started.

Then when the big 3 started meeting each other Marquez was losing to the likes of Chris John and Feddie Norwood so he dint have the wars that would have aged him with his cautious style back then. Its since 2008 he started fighting with more aggression and thats why he still has plenty left at his age.

of all the Mexican greats Pacquiao has fought, Barrera is the only one who trully respects him, Pacquiao shows great respect for Barrera as well.

Maybe he doesn't want his feet to get dirty? A lot of people wear socks with sandals walking around the house or outdoors, you ever seen someones feet after walking around for hours in sandals? they are covered in dark dirt and stink bad.

Barrera doesn't like Marquez because he thinks he got robbed in their fight. I'd be surprised if Barrera interviewed him. I remember during the Mayweather/Hatton weigh-in a lot fighters came on the stage, Barrera and Marquez were among them. Barrera shook everybody's hands except Marquez's.

Also headbutted Pac in the first fight, he was a dirty bitch when things didn't go his way.
