How many of you think this is to try and steal some of Morales thunder after the victory over Pac?
These two guys must really hate each other.
Looks to me like Barrera is considering this only to try and lock Morales out of a title fight at 135.
These two have to fight again, maybe it'll happen at 135?
I think Barrera would get shredded by the top guys in this division:

Oscar: Barrera to 135?
Saturday, April 9 2005

Marco Antonio Barrera vs Luis Castillo? Diego Corrales? Acelino Freitas? Joel Casamayor? It could happen. Future Hall of Famer and Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya, who is in El Paso for tonight's WBC super featherweight title showdown between Barrera and #1 ranked Mzonke Fana, told *********.com that Barrera is considering testing the waters at 135lbs, where if he wins a title, he would become the first Mexican fighter to win a title in four weight divisions.

How do they determine exactly who gets to fight for a vacated title?
Does a current title holder at a lower weight class get the right to fight for a vacated title in a higher weight class over a non-title holder?
This is assuming Castillo beats Corrales in May and vacates his belts at 135 to move up to 140.
