Barrera made it a stinker :(

Barrera may have fizzled in his final fight of his career, but like others have said, please dont call him a *****.

A) he was fighting Pacquiao, one of the most devestating punchers in the last 10 years. He could have been a bit more aggressive, but there was a reason why he fought the way he did.

B) he gave boxing fans almost 2 decades of fighting. We were lucky enough to witness his fights as he was one of the best in our era.

Barrera's accomplishment in this fight is negated by his dirty tactics.

He'll always be the same dirty Marco when on the losing end.

What accomplishment? I liked Barrera when he stuck his fist in Hamed's mouth, but with the exception of that fight, he's made it hard to be a fan. He's one of the dirtiest little ****s I've seen in the ring. Good riddance! Pacquiao kicked his ass.

I don't think it was a stinker, but I am a little disapointed. I mean I found Mayweather and De la hoya entertaining, so I don't mind fights like this, but I just find it sad that Barrera couldn't have shown us a little more. He didn't have to brawl, but more exchanges would have been nice.

Barrera was more concerned about surviving than winning, and I can't say I blame him. Pacquiao's power is fierce and Barrera has already had a brain operation, let's not forget the man has a family.

Good point, but if the man was worried about being there for his family, he wouldn't be in the ring in the first place.

Thats no excuse to cheat paying customers by using 15 years of experience to stay on your feet!

We pay to see fights. If you don't want to win, why should we pay to watch somone collect a paycheck?

Uh, Money! Mayweather does it all the time!

Yeah, and I get sick of seeing Oscar at every big boxing event.

I scored this a draw. Barrera forced Pacman to box, and that's an achievement. I scored the fight 114-114 and that's including the point deduction which to be honest was dubious, there was no warning.

A draw?!!?! I really dont know what to say. MAB won two rounds at most. It could have easily been scored a clean sweep for Pacman. Got to remember when you score a fight you have to forget what fighter your going for. No way possible was this fight a draw.

[ferocity]

But I admire his smarts! He made Pacquiao work! He's still a dirty fighter tho.

pacquio was contemp throwing only a couple punchs a round and that was it, he was afraid to fully press barrera.

[squealpiggy]

I can't believe that there are boxing fans describing a living legend like Marco Antonio Barrera as a "*****". I advise you to take a long hard look at your life and if you don't have MAB's credentials you should probably **** off now.

Barrera is a coward and i'm happy that *** retired.

Opponents don't normally make people box. It was good for Marco to make Pacquiao box and think rather than violently attack him. But it doesn't change the fact that Marco turns bitter when losing.
