I'd like to see Barrios face Boots or Stanonis next.

He's a bit of an overachiever if anything now, I doubt the powers that be in boxing thought he'd beat Ugas and he is a 2 division champion. Unlikely in my mind he'll do much more or be a major player at 147 for long.

Barrios held a title at 140, not lightweight.
