    Now you are just underestimating Campbell, he started his boxing career late and fought a close fight with a prime Casamayor when he was still green.

    What about McCline? I'm sure he looked like **** as badly deteriorated as he is, and it doesn't take a stellar performance to beat Mollo...but I'm just glad Jameel got a W.

    Barrera needs to go to the lightweight and train hard. He is still on shape unlike Morales. He can still put fire on arsenals but he need to show it against a good opposition.

    i do. but at the same time, i think valero is a little under rated. but i think barrera can still mix it up with the others. remeber that his last two losses came from the currently two best boxers in the world p4p and he was not stopped on either occassion. he almost won against jmm.

    He can but not by much IMO. Campbell runs hot and cold, is an aging fighter and is beginning to get bitten by the inactivity bug (through no fault of his own really). It'll be almost a year by the time his next fight with Funeka comes around. If Barrera has a turn back the clock performance, He could easily win in a war of attrition.

    THAT SAID, I wouldn't favor him against anyone other than Campbell. I think MAB has lost what truly made him great---the will and desire to not be denied. Watching his last five fights or so (not counting Ventura), He looks so disinterested in the ring. He even admitted that he didn't care much for fighting JMM in a fight that at the time seemed to be do or die for both guys. Against Pac Man he looked like he would've rather been sitting in the crowd. Let's not even discuss Juarez 2.

    I'm not saying MAB has to be a brawler...but he's just not himself in there anymore. Rudy Perez said that Barrera just didn't want it anymore and I agree with him.
    I believe so but I'm not great at this whole "ranking" thing. He's certainly got the resume, accolades and the battle wounds to be a top 10 mexican fighter.
    Barring some robbery? Yes.

    If MAB fights like he did against JMM, he can take a decision from Nate. Nate is hot and cold really... if he comes in and fights in his top form it would be a very, VERY difficult fight for MAB. If Nate comes in sloppy MAB can make it look easy. You never know what you're going to get with Campbell.

    Any fighter besides JMM who tries to outbox MAB is also most likely not going to win the fight. You have to push him, if you don't threaten him he'll just stay outside and toy with you.

    BOOM_BOOM! :good

    Im a massive MAB fan, dont actually like him coming back, he has nothing to prove.

    Can he beat Nate? He could, but I wouldnt bet on it.

    Boom Boom: You have Morales ranked above Mab :fire

    Nobody knows. Some people think Valero is a monster, some think he's overrated and nobody will know for sure until he's in some high profile fights. All we really know about his is that he gave EM hell before EM was shot, which is a pretty good indication that he's someone you should watch.
