Barrara v Peden

[The Golden Boy]

The funny thing is, the only big Barrera fans in here are no other than:

ThaGreatest(me)
Runw/knives

Just to let everyone know, Barrera is the real deal, he will be the next great legend....(even though he is already one)

Easily my favorite fighter of this era.

Add me to that list!

1. Overrated Naseem Hamed
2. Old Kevin Kelley
3. Past his prime and friend Johnny Tapia
4. Shoulda been retired, no power Paulie Ayala
5. nobody knows Monkey Fana on PPV

I dont see how Naseem is overated. The guy had a almost perfect record with most of them being KOs. Yes it was lame that he retired after losing once, but I dont belive he's overrated.

wtf are you talking about.

Fana was the mandatory challenger for the wbc superfeatherweight title. He was his first opponent he faced after kicking Morales' ass all over the ring, and was making a damn defense.

Why should he seek out fights? He is the damn champion, and people should try and make a fight happen with him.

So you are saying he should vacate his world title in order to fight the undesirable fight in Marquez?

How do you HAVE to seek out tougher fights in a year's time, by refusing to accept a mandatory or be stripped.

Your making no sense man.

wtf are YOU talkin about man, first off let me make this clear, marco antonio barrera is my favourite boxer EVER. i have all of his fights and have been a fan of his when he fought mckinney back in 1996. i think barrera is a LEGEND, better than morales and a top 5 pound for pound fighter. just look at his recent competition apart from morales, he aint testing himself, certain fighters shouldnt even be in the ring with him yet he fights them, do you remember when barrera NEVER catered to belts, he said he just wants to fight the best fighters out there, regardless of belts and thats what he did, barrera used to just vacate belts that he won in order to fight the best but that aint happening no more. look at morales and chico corrales as examples of just fighting good level of competition, morales aint got no belt and he still fights top fighters, morales could have easily seeked out to fight peden or the wba or wbo superfeatherweight champ to get a belt but he dont do that, he just fights top fighters.

i aint even criticizing barreras whole career, im just pointin out that before he got beat by pacquiao he was fighting some weak opponents and got a rude awakening by pacman, all im sayin is i hope this dont happen to him again if he fights a top fighter because recently he has been fighting bums, who the hell is fana, fana does not deserve to be in the ring with barrera, so what if he is hes mandatory, the old barrera would have vacated that belt to fight someone more challenging. and im sure the majority of barrera fans would like to see him face marquez or as you put it the 'underdesirable fight in marquez' then him fightin fana. barreras goin down as a LEGEND and a hall of fame fighter, and hes my FAVOURITE BOXER, but im just callin it how i see it.

so before you say i aint makin no sense, check the facts and check yourself.

I'm glad Barrera is taking this fight. He's unifying some belts (something Morales spent 2/3 of 2004 doing) and it's gonna be an explosive fight that Barrera SHOULD win.

However, if Barrera wants to be great, he has to at least try to avenge his loss to Pacquiao. If he loses again, so what, Pacquiao has his number. But if he doesn't try for a rematch, he will be a wuss forever

i agree.... barrera has to prove something against pac

[chito]

no way golden boy would let that happen, he thinks if they ever fight again, his boy barrera would lose again.

[amaru]

if barrera fights pacquaio again im sure it could possibly be different, maybe pacman has his number but barreras a smart fighter and he could make adjustments for manny, he would have learnt from that night he lost to pacquaio and learnt from morales and marquez about how to fight manny, and im sure he wants to fight him again, he even said he has to fight pacquaio again because he is like a thorn in his side that wont go away until he fights him again.

so what's keeping him from doing that? i don't think there wont be any difference w/ regards to the outcome. it might not be like that worst but still pac still wins if they rematch.
