    Why did Barrera rematch Rocky so fast and not Manny?

    Perhaps it's because Barrera does indeed believe he can beat Rocky more convincing? Or is it because he knows Manny has his number and it's not worth it to go in for another beating? There was talk after the Rocky fight that Barrera wasn't 100% and that the mouthpiece really gave him troubles throughout the entire fight. I guess Marco really believes these reasons and is why he took the rematch so fast without question. This makes me question though if he really ever wants to rematch Manny when all he ever did if you think about it was lay down excuses of why he lost to Manny though never took or attempted a rematch.

      Maybe because Pacquiao is committed to fight Morales in November.

          Because honestly MAB believes he can do better and beat Rocky convingcingly which is exactly the opposite of what MAB feels if he fights Pacquiao.

          It's just all about confidence.

            Barrera simply wants to retire in one piece. He knows he can not handle the speed, power and the southpaw Pac. MAB made some excuses on that fight and not quick to back it up. If MAB really wants to rematch, it would have happened long time ago.

              Well because MAB hasn't given credit to the guy who beat him up to this time. What's wrong in proving you really had a bad night?

                I am a Pac fan, but i don't want too see a rematch right away. I'd rather see Pac fight other top jr. lighweights such as Juarez, Barrios, and others.

                    Because Rocky is Mexican and Pac is not. Barrera would rather lose to a Mexican so it becomes kind of "passing of torch" in case he loses to Juarez. I don't think he'll lose the rematch though.
