    Yeah, kind of like that, except that Butterbean was a sideshow of a heavyweight and Sweet Pea was the best fighter p4p of his generation, while Duran is not only bigger than Barrera but plain out better than him as well.

    Yeah, kinda alike. Only not.

    Pea was the man!..And no doubt Duran is better than Marco but you have to admit that Barerra is a great fighter!..A throwback kind of complete Boxer! Very fun to watch and besides maybe a handful of fights most all were very competitive.

    Barrera was a fat washed up old man at lightweight, what is the matter with you southpaw? i would worry he would be third man Hector Thompson would kill, far less Duran.

    At least Mancini vs Pac is two fighters comfortable at the weight.

    Barrera is without doubt a great fighter, but putting him in with Duran at 135 is a total mismatch.

    A brutal beating for the Mexican.
