    Have not seen too much of Barrera besides is fight with Naz and obviously Morales. Found some of his lighter weight fights so impressive. This for example is absolutley awesome to watch. How often do you see that much damage in one round?

    imho his absolute prime weight, he lost a half step at FW. He was extremely destructive here and if it wasn't for that JJ right hand, we'd be talking about him as one of the best jr FW fighters in history. Well actually, I guess we already do, but we'd be talking about it MORE.

    This is why I always rate Morales and Barrera above Marquez, in their youth they were so explosive.

    JJ could put anyone to sleep with that right hand, Marco just got caught very clean by a monstrous puncher. I'm sure that you don't realize this, being that you don't watch boxing very much, but it can happen to any fighter and usually does at some point in their career.

    Barrera had a solid chin, despite this
