      Hang it up!!!

      I think both these guys should pack it in but Barrera has more in the tank, He boxed Marquez well and actually knocked him down... Pacquio was a fight where he did not want to go out on his sheild... Morales had 3 hard fights with Manny and then another one with David Diaz... He has killed himself to make weight for years... Hes a totally spent force

        barrera has some stuff left but he is at 130....i dont see him beating guzman, valero, pac nor marquez.....and at 135 he will be even smaller for juan diaz and david diaz


        morales is totally spent and yet he beat david diaz in many people's eyes, which makes me think he could beat him in a rematch if he comes in good shape...

              It'll be worse the next time around. All the things that were wrong with him the last fight will be worse if he steps back into the ring. He can come back looking in great shape and not be the same fighter. Like a lot of fighters throughout the history of the sport can attest to.

                if he feels he won the fight why not try again?...how could he possibly be worse than last time?.......i dont want him to get hurt or anything but i would like him to beat david diaz...and i think that same spent morales but in good shape can win...and i think one should be able to retire with no regrets......

                  It's up to him if he wants to try again. But it will end worse for him. The thing is, it won't be the same spent Morales, it'll be an even more spent Morales. He shouldn't have anything to regret, he's had a great career.

                    He nearly lost to Juarez then lost very badly next 2 fights after Juarez rematch

                    I think he loses now to Pac, Marquez, Juarez

                    And would favor Soto, Barrios, Guzman, maybe Valero now at 130

                    where Morales is at, at 135, lots of dangerous opponents all names Diaz, Nate Campbell, Katsidis, Casamayor - maybe even an Amir Khan.

                    I think the past few years have been hard on Barrera - he has a ton of fights on his resume, been through some wars...

                      Arum has a heart?

                      Look at Barrera's face when Hatton was getting knocked out. He looked like he was watching his son get jumped.
