    Not just once...but twice, you say?

    hmmmm...now that makes this twice as hard to determine.

    He lost to Kennedy McKinney who Barrera beat.

    He lost to Erik Morales who Barrera beat twice.

    He lost to Paul Ingle who Naseem Hamed beat who Barrera beat.

    I reckon Barrera was a better fighter who came up against a guy who stylistically had it over him in Jones (though the second fight was pretty close from memory).
