future boxing hall of famer marco antionio barrera watched his former rival manny pacquiao work out at the wild card gym in los angeles. pacquiao gave time for the mexican former three division world champion to interview him. barerra now works as a commentator for mexican TV azteca.
barrera also joined him in his daily morning jog and was impressed by the pacquiao's performance at practice and said pacquiao looked stronger and ready to regain his place as pound-for-pound king. barrera admitted that pacquiao's recent performances have fueled speculations of pacquiao's decline but barrera reiterated that the same pacquiao who he fought just a few years back will show up on fight night.
hopefully, pacquiao is able to deliver that much sought knock out all his fans, barrera for one, are yearning for.

your thoughts?
I hear people say that on tv and shit all all that but never understood it really, where I from everyone wears sock with their sandals LOL. To wear sandals with out your socks is weird, unless you on the beach or something.
I think Soggy might be British and they are not used to seeing that or he grew up in a mainly rich white area in the states?
I still laugh when I see people say why is that guy wearing socks with sandals? If I go to the beach I won't wear socks with sandals, but when I walk around the house I wear socks with sandals all the time, or when I go to the grocery store to pick up something real quick.

Yeah, also sometimes it gets cold, so i put on socks with my sandals to relax my feet and stay cozy.
better question: why is he wearing socks with his sandals?...lol
Manny's always rocked those lol
There were a couple 24/7's were he had them on as well.
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.
barrera was pure fire, i remember how he sucker punched pacquiao from a clinch during their 2nd fight
Also headbutted Pac in the first fight, he was a dirty bitch when things didn't go his way.

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.
Would love to see Barrera take a cheap shot and suddenly punch Manny in the face like he did to Mckinney and Morales.
Second that what's up with mannys peasant sandals
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.
they should have sparred. granted it would have been just a promotional schtick, but i guarantee that would have gotten way more attention than a morning jog.
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 :boxing::owned:
Aint gonna happen Barrera respects Pacquaio too much. I must have missed him sucker punching Morales which fight was this ? (legit question btw).
edit: NM just found the youtube of the sucker punch at presser.
barrera was pure fire, i remember how he sucker punched pacquiao from a clinch during their 2nd fight. back in the day, barrera was a force of nature, i hope more boxers come out with the same fighting style as barrera, sure was entertaining to watch.
