Comments Thread For: Barrera Speaks On Morales, Marquez, Free Agent Status

[Picazo]

I'm not much of a fan of Barrera, but I respect the way he is trying to close out his career if he is really gonna do what he says he's gonna do. I like the fact that Morales took a fight with Maidana and if Barrera ends up fighting Rios for a fourth belt he gets major props from me.

I've expressed my feelings about Marquez. I feel he's taking the path of least resistance of the three by fighting Zab Judah and it's why I don't have much respect for him anymore.

Barrera does kind of have me a little confused though. At first he said he wasn't too keen on giving JMM a rematch because he thought he won. Now he is saying he'd be willing to fight him again. I thought the fight could've went either way, but Barrera kind of acted like a prick after the fight by saying he didn't want a rematch and instead fought a borefest with Pacquiao in their rematch.

how is marquez taking the path of least resistance? hes older than both barrera and morales and has not once taken a break, has been fighting top competition.. much younger fighters at that.

zab is a better boxer with equal power to either rios or maidana. and on a good night has the skill and pop to knock them both out.

At this point a fight between Marquez and Barrera wouldn't even be close at this point. The first fight was close but I think Marquez beat Barrera and morales pretty easily.

NAH!!!

Crybaby PeeQuez is good only if matched against agressive fighters because of his counterpunching style.....but against Barrera or Morales who both are presently less agressive, Peequez will definitely have a hard time!

Barrera won the first, a rematch won't be bad.

Morales vs PeeQuez....make it happen!!!!

yeah marquez is good at countering aggressive fighters. have you watched anyother fights of his, he has everything in his arsenal except decent head movement. watch the fight with casamayor he moved up in weight and boxed a great boxer and got the ko in the 11th round against a vet who had never been stopped before. if marquez has to press the action against barrera or morales he still wins.

Partially agree....

PeeQuez is good at countering agressive fighters but if PeeQuez had to press the action against Barrera or Morales he will lose just like the Floydie MayNever fight!

Just watch the Pac vs PeeQuez match ....Pac won most rounds where Peequez press the action which were a few, but with those knockdowns Pac won the fight.

Peequez is second only to Maynever in counter-punching!

Sure. Just like he knocked out Lucas Matthyse. Judah is trash and always has been.

How can that be? Hes all class and heart, never backed down, gave us some of the greatest fights of the last 15 years, can box, brawl, and is a credit to the sport. A true HOFer and to say he avoided a rematch with marquez and fought pacquiao instead just don't make much sense. If all boxers were like MAB the fight game would be better off.

I never said Barrera was wrong for fighting Pacquiao. I just said that it was the way that he fought him that deserved flack. I even said Barrera put up a good fight against Marquez. But it's just that we were shorted of the rematch because Barrera claimed he was robbed while Marquez was more than happy and willing to give him the rematch.

i think barrera is stil a contender just as much as morales but neither would beat marquez... these 4 pac morales mab jmm were apart of the greatest act since the duran hearns hager lenard days given us superb wars i wouldnt mind one last match up with both these pac v jmm at 140 and mab v morales at 140 on a double bill be a great event
