In his recent interview with HBO Latino, Barrera who was still fresh from his victory over Erik Morales in November said, "For 2005, a bout with Manny Pacquiao is my top priority. Yet, we will have to wait and see, he has a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez he needs to win first and that is not an easy fight for him."

By the sound of it, it seems that Barrera was hesitant to stake his newly regained status against Pac unless the latter gets past Marquez.

C'mmon Marco, the guy dealt you the most humiliating loss in your boxing career, and yet you sounded like you were not interested in redeeming yourself?

Whatever happened to your pride as a warrior?

What are you talking about?

For 2005, a bout with Manny Pacquiao is my top priority.

all he said was that its not a sure thing whats gonna happen in the Marquez fight and he's right.

Yeah...and he also said Pac has to win first? What does that mean to you, then?

Well dont you think if Pac losses to Marquez the big fight that everyone including HBO would want is a Marquez/Pac rematch.

I'm pretty sure he MAB meant that Pac has to get passed Marquez first before a rematch with him which don't make sense cause he got his ass whooped for 11 rounds. He should be the one running after Manny P.

Jose your completely 100% bias when it comes to your hispanic fighters, lets face it Barrera and his handlers know that they CANNOT, NO WAY IN HELL, HELL WILL FREEZE OVER before they beat Pacquaio. At the same time I don't think Pac will beat Marquez in the rematch unless he gets a k.o. or a gift from the judges.

obviously he meant manny needs to get by jmm
whether he meant that would effect his desire to fight him
im not so sure
all he said is
ya i wanna fight him again
but first hes gotta get by jmm
"then we'll fight"

so just sayin first things first
maybe he thinks pac will beat jmm
and get past him to reach him

who knows

Well we've already established the fact that your dumbass so whatever you say is pretty much meaningless, but I'll adress your point anyway.

Please tell me what is wrong with what MAB said?

Is it not rue that if Pac was to lose to Marquez the fight everyone would then want to make would be a 3rd fight between Marquez and Pac?
