    I'm not sure Barrios can beat Pacquiao, even Pacman at 46. Barrios may be too limited.

      We can all say without a doubt that Barrios is NOT Larry Holmes. This said, he may still beat the Pacman.

        What is Barrios gonna do, turn down a career high pay day for a really easy fight?

        This thing is a gigantic farce but it's hard to blame Barrios for cashing that check.

            Barrios is just taking the biggest money fight available to him.

            He is doing the opposite of Brian Norman Jr.

              No reason to hate, Barrios made out like a bandit here. He just got a gift decision against way out of prime Abel Ramos for cripes sake.

                Barrios is a swerve. Why doesnt Pac fight Boots if his pay is so good?

                  I just remember watching Barrios fight Tank and seeing how little of a physical presence he imposed other than being tall; just stood there, wide stance, lunching over, standing there to get hit. I don't think he touched Tank at all.

                    Because Pacquiao is going for the lowest hanging fruit.

                      That's exactly what I was thinking.
                      I said to myself, "That CAN'T be Larry Holmes! Holmes is at least 75 pounds heavier."
