    he has a better chance of winning vs barrera than he does vs maidiana.. plus he would make a lot more. if he's shot and semi retired he should fight somebody with the same conditions and not a young fighter that's really going to do some damage to him.. hopefully he'll come out ok but this type of fight where you put a young strong fighter vs an old veteran always are really bad for the veteran fighter

    Well, yes - but I stand a better chance of surviving a jump from a fifth story roof than I do of surviving a free fall from a C-130. That doesn't make either a good idea...

    At 135 lbs right now I believe MAB beats Morales, but I'm not so certain that would be the case at 140 lbs.

    Morales imo properly trained would handle that weight alot better than MAB would.

    MAB even at 135 lbs looks pudgy, but he just looked awful physically at 140 lbs yesterday.

    They both need to hang them up.

    MAB has more left in the tank than Erik...which is not saying much since they both should really hang it up and call it a day.

    I would love to see it but I just can't see it happening. He was in trouble against Limond until he gassed.

    Havent seen barrera's last 2 fights, are there really that many people that think he has more left than morales now? Morales surprised me in his comeback, he has done better than I expected, hes fat and slower but his skills are still there. I dont like him coming back but I may as well root for him if he is going to do it. It seems like his opponents are better than barrera's recent opponents so I am wondering why people think barrera is better today?

    Yes, I havent seen barrera, have you seen his last 2? because Lorenzo seems to be a lot better than barreras opponents. I am talking strictly morales vs barrera and what they are like today. I havent seen barrera which is why I asked

    You are his manager the best advise you can give him is to retire, but he insists on fighting again. Would you let him fight madiana or would you rather have him fight barrera. He's going to fight again so my point is if you are going to do the stupid thing at least minimize the risks and go with the higher payday.
