    Because he's a fighter. Nine times out of ten, guys keep going beyond the point where it really matters for their legacy. And 9 times out of ten, they end up losing to one of these guys. Happened to Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, more of the greats than not.

    It's a familiar boxing story.

    Barrera shouldve retired. He wasnt interested in actually fight Pac in the rematch and he suffered a crucial wide UD loss to JMM.

    i understand that part but why a 25-19 fighter, it does nothing for legacy, and nothing to see where hes at in his career

    It is just a warm up. To test out his ability. Also, he may be in need of money. This is another boxing constant. When in need, fight.

    Well he aint fought in a year and its at the Junior Welterweight weight I think he weighed in like 138 or close to it. I suppose he just wants to get in some rounds and stay active.

    the warm up doesnt make sense he can get just as much a warm up from sparring or more then fighting a fighter of this class, the money does make sense somewhat but he could make a lot more from bigger fights that are still available to him.
