    He has an amazing jab
    Puts toghether superb combinations
    Fights very well as a counter puncher
    Rock solid chin
    Excellent stamina to go full 12 rounds
    Class act

    Because of fighters like Barrera is why I keep watching Boxing, and if he like he said will retire win or loose after tonight, the sport will most certainly miss him

    Go MAB!!!

    He said that he will have 1 or 2 more fights after this fight. But those fights will be farewell fights and he will not have major fights anymore.

    No doubt. I'll be pulling for MAB, but Pac made him "look" old in thier fight 5 years ago. So I'll be holding my breath for MAB. I hope he can do it.

    When I said that MAB will get KO by Pacquiao once again tonight, I don;t mean any disrespect for MAB he always been one of my favorite fighters, but I also understand whern he is outmatch....and outslug by a younger quicker Pacquiao...and that is reality....for any of you that watch a re-run of the first fight you will notice that ever since MAB felt Pacquiaos power he didn't want to engaged with him on the inside...and that's memeory is still fresh on his head...plus MAB last 4 years has been involved in nothing but tough fights, that will catch up with him tonight....

    In my opinion, Barrera, Morales, and Marquez are three of the ten greatest Mexican fighters to ever live. They are possibly the three most well developed as far as technique goes. Just an unbelievable thing to watch.

    I agree! These 3 are top 10 Mexican fighters of all time. Unfortunately they've met Pacquiao. This just show how Great a Fighter Pac is.

    most Mexican fighters are very much technically skilled...just because many of them CHOOSE to slug doesn't mean they don't have skillset...

    I dont know if Marquez is an all time top 10, he is definitely close. But dont pump these guys up to make Pac look better.:nono
