An excerpt from his latest interview today...
--------------------
KM: And what about you? You had talked about retiring. Now you want to keep on fighting?
MAB: I don't know. I need to talk with Richard and Golden Boy, to talk about my future. If Golden Boy have good plans for me, big fights, I'm back. If they don't have big fights, I continue to clean my house, cooking, send my kids to school.
KM: You have nothing left to prove.
MAB: No, nothing.
KM: Is there still a desire to fight?
MAB: No, it's only because I don't like to retire with two losses. I worked very, very hard all the time to win, but my last two fights were losses.
I hope he doesn't fight again.
It's nice to see a guy retire with his money before he ends up a sad shell of his former self.
His last two losses weren't terrible, they were two decision losses, one being pretty close, to two great fighters.
His last two losses were not shameful at all, the Marquez fight was quite close and the Pacqiou fight appeared closer than the scoring in Pacman's favour.
The problem was Barrera didn't appear 'up' for those last two fights, the last time we really saw him 'up' for a fight was the third fight with Moralles a couple of years ago.
He probably should stay retired, he is a true legend and appears to have motivation issues!
I have no desire to see Barrera fight either.. It would be too painful.
Since he is retiring though I think he should give me his Mizuno shoes that he wore in the Marquez fight since he will no longer need them and I've been looking for them everywhere.
Diaz will be half dead before Barrera can get to him... due to a certain Manny Pacquiao who has plans to fight him soon...
And who has said that he should wait until Pacquiao faces him? Pacquiao right now has his hands full with Marquez. Golden Boy Promotion could get Barrera a Diaz fight right now.
Since him and Eric Morales wil always be linked together and compared by fans......maybe he should move up and fight WBC lightweight champion David Diaz and see if he can do better then Morales did and win.

Please stay retired. We don't need to see another former champ humiliating himself.
But he will probably fight on like the rest of them. Always think they have one good fight left. What a shame.
i Hope so, his last 2 losses wont affect his legacy much. when people talk about fierce, technical masters, Barrera will always be in the conversation.
