    I think the outcome will still be the same, Pac still beats Barrera. Skill-wise Marco has an edge but the obviously stronger puncher Pacquiao would always hurt and prevail over Barrera.

    a pre-prime one dimensional pac destroyed the prime pound per pound number 3 MAB, how much more for a prime pac of today. the second fight, nahhh. MAB ran away. style makes fight. pac owns MAB on any single day. :deal

    PAC...it happened already. The second time turned that way because its hard to fight an elite in survival mode.

    Barrera:" I didnt get knocked out, i told you it would be different!"

    Pac already beat MAB close enough to his prime. I don't see how Barrera could win.

    I have to admit I'm a big Barrera fan and I highly dislike Pacquiao, but I just don't see Barrera being able to ever beat Manny. Pac is just to fast for MAB to be able to outbox. Only real shot he has is maybe if he turns into the brawling youthful Barrera and turns the fight into a war. Maybe he has a shot in that scenario, maybe, don't think so though.

    You mean ancient Barrera? Of course prime Pacquiao beats ancient Barrera, but prime for prime, I got Barrera by UD12.

    The two fought at different weights during their respective primes.

    Barrera didn't show up to fight, he came to just survive.

    No question. 10 out of 10, it would be Pac.

    Too much aggression, speed and power.

    1st Fight Barrera went toe to toe to a natural crazy brawler who hits and just get hit... Pac won fair and square to a topdog Barrera.

    2nd Fight Barrera wanted to box and survive just to say Pac's first win was just a fluke, but the judges end up seeing a Barrera only trying to survive while Pac kept pushing a fight and Barrera back pedalling and doing a cheap shot when he was getting hammered.
