By watching the interview, I get a few conclusions:

1) Barrera is still sore for hos losses with both Manny and Juan. He got beat up pretty badly by both of them, who made him look slow and bad, specially Manny. So evidently his comments are critical of both fighters. He is being more emotional than rational in the interview.

2) I just that learned he has the mind of a big loser. No wonder he lost to Manny the way he lost in both fights. Saying to the interviewer that he would have had no chance vs. Floyd makes him a big loser. In fact this is the first time EVER that I have heard a former boxer who will become an ATG, say he wouldn't beat another future ATG. Duran, Leonard, Chavez and many others say they would have beaten Floyd (even easily) even in his prime, had they fought him.

3) Barrera's grudge vs. Marquez makes him say things that are really silly and he sounds worse than a casual fan. He says that based on "how easily" Floyd beat Marquez and how Marquez knocked Manny out, it is easy to predict who will win. It is just ridiculous to compare a JMM in the worst shape of his life, two divisions above his real weight, slow, weak, with extra body fat, no speed and punch at all, with the biggest and strongest Marquez ever, in the best shape of his life, with a fire power that he had never shown before. The Marquez that fought Floyd would have been knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round by the huge Marquez that was being killed by Manny, but scored a brutal punch out of nowhere, because Manny got distracted a fraction of a second.
