Barrera Playing Hard To Get

[MetalVomit]

I do.... coz he almost did. It was a mistake on Roach/pacteam's part, giving too much credit on JMM's power. This time Pac is going to make every round like the 1st round of their first fight. (meaning pressure Marquez at all cost...that's when JMM is most ineffective)

Pac better be in good shape for that. It seemed from the second round on that Marquez made Pac look like an ordinary fighter, much like Oscar did to Tito for 9 rounds straight. I still think Marquez pulled it out, but damn, them 3 knockdowns. I dont want to argue about the one judge that gave it a 10-7 round. That's not as big a mistake as people think. A 3 knockdown round has been scored 10-7 before. All I know is I can't wait for this fight.

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

Not until MAB settles the score with Pac...no matter what the outcome of the Pac-JMM fight, if MAB wants to prove that he wasn't the same guy whom Manny annihilated last year, then he should fight the Filipino once and for all.

[JaNnO]

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

yup, marco's statement sent mixed messages...but it sounded more that he wasn't up to fight the pac unless pac wins over jmm.

[JaNnO]

if anything he is afraid of marquez. only mentioning a match with pacman, what about if marquez wins? he doesnt wanna fight him?

good obeservation bro...mab has been ducking jmm.

[JaNnO]

you are inferring mab is scared of pac? weather pac hands his ass to him again or not is a matter for debate, what is not is that mab is scared of no-one.

i wasn't implying that. i said marco has to redeem himself from the humiliating defeat he suffered against pacman. he isn't afraid of the pacman, he just isn't sure if he can beat the guy.

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?

Something got lost in translation. Im sure he said Manny needs to fight JMM first then win or lose he will seek a rematch.This was on HBO Latino right?Hbo needs better translators cause they always say the wrong **** or **** the wrong way.

Keep in mind these are the same Pac fans that screamed up and down that JMM was scared of fighting Pac again when the remtach was set all along.

[Boxer2005]

That would be an interesting match to see...

[Chups]

Keep in mind these are the same Pac fans that screamed up and down that JMM was scared of fighting Pac again when the remtach was set all along.

But JMM did turn down an immediate rematch at first...right? He needed to fight a patsy first to gain his confidence back.

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?

Wow a guy named Jose calling somebody else a dumbass, it's not possible, sorry. Last time I checked and these are facts, if Pac is really Barrera's top priority for '05, why did Barrera and GBP declined a rematch, when Pac and his team went public to express their strong desire to put a rematch w/ Marquez aside and go straight to Barrera right after MAB's win against Morales.
