I heard this Filipino is the best pound for pound Boxer of this year. Is Marquez or Barrera ready for this Guy? l saw him fight fast and furious.

Fact- Pacquiao tko'd Barrera in the 11th (corner threw towel)
Fact- Marquez draw
Opinion- Pacquiao is a great fighter! And like everyone else, Barrera and Marquez in my opinion are the best match for him now. i There were several distractions leading up to the Barrera fight and he did not look sharp come fight time. I am a fighter and if you are not fully focus, it CAN matter. So until they fight again later this year, i won't know for sure
Marquez on the other hand, in my opinion won the fight against Pacman. I watch all major fights with the TV muted to avoid being influenced, by the crowd and commentators. (I later watch it with sound). however, based on his last with Barrera, I believe he can win a rematch.
I wish I had better facts, and not opinions. But that is all I can give at this time. Anything can happen in boxing and that makes it hard to predict matchups and winners

?!? What planet have you been vacationing in? In case you didn't know, Pacquiao clobbered Barrera til his corner threw in the towel in the 11th round in Nov. 7, 2003. Pacquiao fought Marquez six months later which ended in a controversial draw(one of the judges admitted making an error in the first round which led to the draw instead of a split decision win for Pacquiao.) Barrera is scheduled to fight in a rematch with Pacquiao this October. I say if Barrera is not ready for Pacquiao come October, then he'll never ever be ready for Pacman, since this might be his last chance considering he's now 33 years old and Pacquiao's still 28. Besides, most Filipinos prefer a Pacquiao vs Marquez rematch over this one. Personally, I'd say Marquez's counter punching style was pretty effective against Pacquiao and has a better chance of beating the Pacman than Barrera does.

Barrera is set to fight Pacquiao this year, and no hes not ready for him.... Pac Man blew through his last two fights against Morales and Solis. Pac Man should beat him again and then look for Marquez and his title, which he should take...

Definitely Marquez for the pound for pound title in my eyes. The re-match will be a barn-burner!
