Okay, news that WBC Superfeatherweight champ Marco Antonio Barrera wants to fight Manny Pacquiao is now all around. What should Team Pacquiao’s response be? I believe Pacman should take the the call for a number of obvious reasons.

One, Barrera has the belt. At this point, Manny’s stock has magnified to great proportions that the only thing he lacks is a legit title. With Barrera’s challenge, I think the time is ripe for Manny to make his name bigger in the boxing world.

Two, Barrera is vulnerably beatable. From the way it looks, Manny has less difficulty to dispose of Barrera than Morales. Needless to say, Barrera’s declining power might just be taken advantage of by another fighter. If that happens, the Barrera-Pacquiao rematch might not be as juicy as it is today. This leads me to my next point.

Three, a Barrera-Pacquiao II at this point is the match of the year in terms of hype, entertainment and, of course, money. I can’t think of any other match-up that is as salivating and palatable than this one. Both fighters are coming from victorious quests and this will make their next meeting gigantically big (forgive me for the redundancy) if they will indeed fight each other now.

Would it be so much a loss if Team Pacman sets aside the Larios fight and face MAB instead?
