Theoretically speaking, if Manny was the "refined fighter" he is now(not as reckless, with more boxing skill), but at the weight of 122, 126, and 130, would MAB have had a better chance of beating him? Since, style-wise, the wild animal that Pacquiao was in thier 126 lb fight seemed to be the perfect recipe to beat Barrera, maybe a boxing, more calculating Pacquiao would give Barrera more chances to use his skill? Or would it be that much easier for Pacquiao? Not saying he would win, but he could do make him look bad in some rounds, ala Marquez, or Barrera-Hamed.
I heard Barrera saying a few weeks ago that he realises now that Manny was a stylistic nightmare for him,and he just couldn't find answers. I expected him to raise many other issues that may have offered excuses but no,he was really upfront about it.
Yup. Barrera has always said Pacquiao was a bad style up for him, and has always given Manny mad props. Barrera is all class.
