barrera / pacquiao II

[Zn1]

i hear you on that bro, but you gotta remember barrera has many styles, he can box, brawl, trade, box on the back foot, people say pacman will be too fast for barrera or he will just keep on throwin punches, fair enough, thats a good point, pacquiao can do that, in all honsety he destroyed barrera in their first fight. but barrera can adjust to pacmans style, if you look back on their first fight, watch the first 2 rounds, barrera was beatin pacman to the jab, he was keepin him off balance and would just throw hard stiff jabs to keep him occupied and then just shoot out a right hand if he came in close, it was only when pacman started drivin him back barrera was troubled, plus after he got knocked down in round 3, barrera seemed too cautious to stick with his original game plan. he just wanted to stay outside and that was his biggest mistake as pacquiao just unleashed bombs on him from the outside.

if pac fights like he did against barrera 1st time out he will hammer
barrera but pac hasnt fought like that since. stardom may of ruined
him IMO. what happened to his bobbing and weaving, the variety of punches
he can throw, the closing down of the ring, all that great boxing skill
he showed against barrera. now hes just a one dimensional (not literally)
fighter who really needs to change trainer. no offence but roach's
advice in the corner vs marquez & morales was poor. maybe its pac who
isnt really listening, either way he needs someone to kick him up da ass

the best pacquiao performance ive seen from him was against barrera, he was a beast that night, non stop punching, bobbin and weavin, speed, cut off the ring, but i dont know what happened to that pacman, maybe he got complacent after beating barrera and started relyin too much on his left.

i just feel that pacman cannot get any better and reach the level he did against barrera the first time, he was hungry in that fight. like you pointed out in your post, the things he done in that fight with barrera, he aint been doin it in his recent fights, but he still can recapture it though. i just feel you will see a different barrera in the ring if they fight again.
