For all of you who are calling Barrera a coward, or saying he's ducking Pacquiao, here is what Michael Katz, probably the most respected boxing writer there is today, had to write about MAB in his latest article at Maxboxing.com
Marco Antonio Barrera. Absolutely a first-balloteer (to the hall of fame), and especially if he adds a title in a fourth weight division by beating Jesus Chavez for a lightweight belt March 25. Just the courage in taking that fight shows what kind of warrior Barrera is. And let's not forget how he drove Naseem Hamed from the game, won at least two of three from Erik Morales and hopefully he'll go for a rematch with Pacquiao.
