Barrera Avoids Pacquiao, Opts For Chavez

[DiegoFuego]

So if Barrera fights at 135, then later goes down to 130 to fight Pac and loses, ya think he'll he say he was too drained to make the 130 weight and fought in a weakened state?

definitely

definitely

So Pacquiao can never beat Barerra without excuses? Damn, thats wack.

[DiegoFuego]

well we know Pacquiao is better so who cares

Pac just can't win, ironically.

MAB would be smart to avoid Pac and keep his mouth shut.

Decades from now, when people compare PAC and Barrera. People will always remember the cowards and the warriors like we do.

PAC will be an all time great.

MAB will be an all time *****.

[Mr. Ryan]

Chavez was the same way.

barrera is lookin at the bigger picture here and thats his legacy, he will be the only mexican fighter to win world titles in 4 weight divisions, thats history and if he wins (which wont be easy against chavez)then he will further add to his accomplishments.

people need to look at the bigger picture, barrera and manny can make a lot of money if they fight eachother again, but not so soon, im sure they will, i mean we all no manny will fight anyone, anywhwere, anytime and any place. however look at it from this view, barrera will get stripped of his WBC belt but will still have his IBF belt, Manny will fight now for the vacant WBC belt against someone and will probably KO the guy hes fighing, now mannys the WBC 130lbs champ, barrera is still the IBF 130lbs champ, by the end of the year or early 2007 we could possibly have a 130lbs unification fight with pacman and barrera, do you know how much money that will bring in for both boxers. pacman wouldnt have been in any condition to fight on march 25th, barrera is fightin a good fighter in chavez who might have beatn morales if he had 2 hands instead of one. if done properly pacman vs barrera 2 will be huge. at least judge barrera after he retires, if he dont fight pacman before he retires than ill agree with many pacman fans that he avoided him. but i personally think the money will be too much to turn down for barrera and im sure he would want to at least try to avenge that defeat before he retires.

PAC can fight anyone and it's big money. That's a fact.

As MAB tries to duck PAC, PAC just gets better and MAB just gets older, slower, clumsier. It's been 3 years and you only need plain common sense if a fighter is afraid of another fighter or not.

It's just pure common sense.

Jeez. If Manny fights Marco in 2007 and beats him, then people will say Marco was too old. He just can't win.

[DIEGO DA HITMAN]

Pacquiao beat him down once, and if they fought ten times, we'd probably see the same result. I, for one, would rather see Barrera-Chavez than to see another beatdown. Manny's proved that he's the best in the division. If Morales wants a rematch, he should get it, but it's obvious Barrera doesn't want one, and I don't blame him. Pacquiao should put the hurt on Marquez to take that blemish off of his record, and then continue to fight challenging fights (unlike MAB II) to stake his claim as the best pound-for-pound.
