    Are you trying to make a point here?

    Marco Antonio Barrera was rapid at 122lb, and would outbox and outpunch the slower Israel Vasquez. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, I see it going the distance.

    Barrera gets of the floor and stops Izzy in a classic.

    i believe this is very one sided in barrera's favor, his prime pressure style ****s up vazquez in brutal style its over in 5

    Could it possibly be the other way around? Izzy gets off the floor to knock Barrera out? That's IZzy's style.. Not saying it would happen but...

    Marco Antonio Barrera was an outstanding 122lb fighter. His handspeed was terrific, and he is still one of the best combination punchers I've ever had the pleasure of seeing on film. He'd outbox Israel from the distance, and his handspeed would see him get the better of a firefight also. If anybody is getting stopped, it's Israel.

    Anything could happen but Barrera was at his best at 122,i cant see Izzy beating the MAB of the first Morales fight.

    Considering Marco Antonio Barrera arguably best arguably the second greatest 122lb fight ever in their respective primes, that speaks volumes of what Israel would be up against. I don't give him much of a chance, in truth.

    I dont think we are looking at a Morale-Barrera...Izzy-Rafa kind of classic here.

    I think it would be pretty onesided, pretty brutal and all in favour of Marco.

    barrera would KO izzy but it would be a dirty fight,,,i feel that MAB would be the bigger man
