but the difference was
barker was there to fight martinez while mosley and clottey wasnt there to fight pac
mosley = backpedaled for 12 rounds
clotter = hide on his shell for 12 rounds
and manny wasnt getting bloody nose by the way
mosley and clotteys chin >>>> barkerComment

He also has one of the best chins in welterweight history, only been knocked down once before by a huge, heavy handed Vernon Forest. Pac put him on his ass and he lost track of time while literally running away the whole time.
Clottey is another guy with a great chin, one of the best in boxing to go along with probably the best high guard in the sport. Pac's output was massive in that fight and he even invited Clottey to open up and throw to no avail.
But like I said, throw Viktor Plotnykov in there with Manny and see what happensComment

what people need to realize is this could have been an easy boring UD for Martinez by simply just outworking him every round and then blame Barker for being a pussy post fight but Martinez wanted non of thatLast edited by immortal tech; 10-02-2011, 01:41 AM.Comment

After the fight, I think Pac or Roach said that that was their game plan. They wanted to leave gaps in Pac's offense to entice Clottey out of his shell and trap him into engaging. But Clottey never bit...not enough anyway.
I give credit to how Sergio looked in there more to Barker, who had a good game plan defensively and was able to stick to it for a few rounds at least.
But ultimately, Sergio never seemed to get frustrated, tried different things, and got the KO. I can't be mad at that.Comment

and that he refused to let his opponent stink up the fight, Martinez was purposely leaving him self open so that Barker would engage he worked the body and wore him down and forced the knock out. fighting an opponent who wasn't even trying to win the fight to scared to let his hand just trying not to get KTFO
give credit where credit is do Martinez refused to let Barker do what Clottey and Mosley did to Manny Pacquiao
Barker who?Comment
