Okay, I hate to add one more unlikely "matchup" thread to this overworked message forum, but I was wondering if anyone had any opinion about the odds of this one actually happening. Was there talk of a third rematch after the fight?
Money-wise it would probably work out. This third fight drew huge publicity once again. If Barrera can take out another quality opponent, say Manny, and Morales stays in contention, than why not have them fight again?
I wouldn't want to see it happen again. MAB has won the rubber match and had underlined the trilogy. What would happen if Morales won the fourth? Then they'd have to fight for a fifth time!!!!
That used to happen all the time in the old days. Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta fought a total of six times, if you can believe it. Normally that doesn't happen these days but these guys have produced three straight classics (well, two was at least a very good fight) and don't show any signs of letting up. It's a rare opportunity to continue a rivalry that hasn't lost any steam.

It would definetly sell out. Whether Morales wants any part of it though i dont think so. It wont happen right away. Morales wouldnt want to get beat by Barera again.
