Video: Pacquiao and Barrera reunite and share memories at Wild Card

[hectari]

Pacquiao has Barrera, Morales, Marquez the three Mexican legends. Barrera vs Pacquiao 1 was a classic. Pac and Barrera have great admiration for each other, This was the last great era of featherweights four featherweight horseman.

Teddy Atlas said something that was spot on during the Floyd vs Manny presser, in order to be a true legend to be remembered, you need a joe frazier or a chief rival, someone who brings the best out of you and trully tests your will and skill. Pacquiao had 3 all time greats and chief Rivals who all brought the best out of him and he brought the best out of them. Shame Morales and Marquez never fought.

What are you talking about? Pac-Barrera 2 was the epitome of running. Barrera fought like he only wanted to survive and not get knocked out this time. He acted like going the full 12 rounds with Pacquaio was the accomplishment.

Freddie claims he caught Barrera with illegal wraps prior to this fight but decided not to make big deal out of it since he liked Barrera.

Yes I've seen it. Barrera was just doing enough NOT to get embarrassed again by Manny. Backing up when you're in control of a fight is one thing, but backing up so you don't get your ass kicked is another.

Yeah I thought Barrera did fight rather negatively in that fight for the most part, although he did have some sparse moments of success. At the end it seemed he was proud of his performance, even knowing that he'd lost, it's like he was impressed with himself for surviving the full 12 against Pacquiao.

Understandable though because Pac had KOd Morales in 3 rounds only two fights earlier - Barrera felt he was getting one up on Morales by showing that he could take Pacquiao 12 when Morales couldn't last 3 the last time they fought. I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it too, strange as it might sound.
