I'd agree with you. Barrera was at his best when he truely feared his opponent and was underdog.
The focus and intensity that he put into fights with the likes of McKinney, Moralles 1 (where to my eyes he was robbed) and Hamed were a stark contrast to how he fought Pacquiou first time round.
Back then, Pac was seen as this little super flyweight coming up in weight. Few gave him a chance against Barrera.
Barrera was too old when they finally met again, but this time round Pac didn't turn up with much intensity, that fight was actually fairly closely fought.
