Pacquiao, Roach Say "Bring On Barrera"

[ProBox1]

Ring Magazine featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach both want HBO to bring on Marco Antonio Barrera without wasting time so they could once and for all settle the issue with the legendary Mexican who has consistently claimed he had an off night when Pacquiao annihilated him in eleven rounds in San Antonio, Texas on November 1, 2003. Earlier, international promoter Murad Muhammad who handles Pacquiao’s fights noted that “Barrera claims his head wasn’t right in the first fight. If he wants to redeem himself we will be happy to accommodate him.”

Prior to leaving his home in General Santos City for his training camp in Davao City on Sunday after watching Barrera win a close “fight for the ages” against Erik Morales, Pacquiao told Viva Sports/Manila Standard “Barrera keeps saying he had so much on his mind in our fight and he was not the same fighter. Let’s settle this issue once and for all and let’s do it now. Let’s have the rematch. I am ready to take on anybody who wants to fight the Pac-man. Bring them on. I don’t care who comes first, Barrera or (Juan Manuel) Marquez” the WBA/IBF champion who is slated to fight Pacquiao on February 26. [details]

Pac is a guy who means what he said. If not for ****i'n Arums manipulations that JMM doesn't have a belt by now and that MAB rematch could have been over and an issue clearly settled.

Now JMM or MAB . . . I don't care one of these 2 better step up on the plate comes February.

C'mon guys we all saw this coming, makes perfect sense, I'd duck Marquez too if I was Pacquaio's handler's and plus i'd obviously be more lucrative for a PAC - MAB rematch than w/ Marquez. I wouldn't let Pac get anywhere near Marquez 'cause it could be worse than the 1st time.

An appeal to MAB . . .

Please dont let your "Proxy" fight Pac clearly he cant finished the job . . maybe you can . . So nobody has to deny . . "It wasnt me who's on that ring"

I think pac wins again no matter what.

Based only on the way MAB first fought pac and then the way JMM fought him, he should give JMM the rematch 1st. But i think pac is gonna give the fans what they want to see and let MAB step up to the plate first.

Definitely it's more lucrative for Pac to fight MAB than with JMM . . . and it that happens first, it's not because team Pac thinks JMM is that dangerous at all . . . yes it could be worse but not for Manny . . . it's for JMM because he'll be dealing with a two fisted Pac this time. . . . broken nose . . . busted lips . . . remember? And they won't be needing the goddam ****** judges . . . JMM won't be getting up from the canvas anymore.

Have it touched your mind why team JMM refused that immediate rematch? Forget about that mandatory defense alibi . . . that's crap. JMM could be the the No 1 best feather weight now if they didn't refuse that fight.

I think Pac should go for JMM first then MAB.

Well as per the latest . . . it looks like it's gonna be JMM after all.
