    I'm not sure about what u think bout this..but barerra hasn't been the same to me ever since pac-man destroyed the baby-faced assassin..seriously
    That honor goes to Junior Jones, Pacquiao just beat an ill prepared Barrera and what Jones did was make Barrera think twice before going into the danger zone.

    Look how Barrera made Pacquiao timid, Pacquiao was scared to rush in at Barrera in there second fight, yet he didn't have that problem in the first fight. Even against Marquez, Pacquiao was waiting and for Marquez to lead which then try and counter and as soon as Marquez would throw Pacquiao would always seem to back away.

      I think the Jones loss made Barrera reconsider how he SHOULD fight. He still mixed it up at times (Morales fights), but was able to transition into a good boxer when he needed to.

      That **** is what made Barrera great IMO. He is probably the most versatile fighter I have ever seen.

        Naseem Hamed vs Marco Antonio Barrera. The Prince was 27 and undefeated at the time, 35-0 with 31 KO/TKOs. He had one more fight after that before retiring, but he should have had a few more good years left in him.

                Fenech after Nelson.

                Maybe Vargas after Trinidad.

                      I ****en hated Barrera for a little while after the Jones Jr. fight not because he lost but he changed his style to be more of a boxer. I respect him and he is smart and you're right on some things but i just didnt' like that he changed his style.
