    The fight took place almost 3 years ago. If Barrera really wanted the fight he could of set it up in that time. The fight isn't a real good decision for Barrera now though because he's seems to be slipping and Pacquiao has gotten better.

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.
      Because.......................Manny knocked him out and Juarez lost.

        In that time pacquiao has a 1 loses and 1 draw on his record, Barrera only has a 1 draw. As i said both have been active, pacquiao just wants the rematch cause he thinks it'd be an easy fight, but doens't want the Marquez fight cause he thinks it'll be a tough fight.

          The question is why do Pac Fans chase Barrera around like THEY BELIEVE PACMANS VICTORY OVER BARRERA WAS A FLUKE. Or like Barrera won the fight, or like they believe Barrera's excuses.

            Man where have you been? pac had to fight morales first cause morales got a rematch claus damn these ppl need to wake up.

              Its not only Pacfans who wants a Pac-MAB rematch, even the boxing fans, critics, and press wants it too.

                Damn, how old are you? if you're under 18 then i can tell you don't follow boxing that much. Pac at that time had a rematch claus in the contract which states that he had to fight morales first and then barrera next. What should barrera do? do nothing for the rest of 2006 and wait for manny?. Rocky deserves a rematch cause it was so close of a fight and the way it ended has to have a rematch so barrera decided to give rocky a well deserve chance to fight him again.

                  The reason why Pacfans wants to see a rematch is beacuse his nuthuggers keeps on making excuses .
                  Take Emmanuel Steward for example whose a obviously a MAB nuthugger . He's always making comment on Television about how MAB was not himself on that night, that he had many distractions bla bla bla. That's disrecpectful.
                  And the only way to shut these MAB nuthugger's mouth is for PAC to whoop his ass again in a rematch.

                    I agree with you 100 %.
                    Not to disrespect MAB and his fans but MAB is scared ****less of PAC and that's the truth.
