    Nelson would stop him late.

    This could go either way I'd give Barrera a better shot if they fought at featherweight instead of jr.lightweight, but either way I'd go with Nelson to win a close but clear dec.

    Nelson.

    Just too good and strong at 126/130 (though certainly it's a closer fight at 126).

    Nelson knew how to apply intelligent pressure and was a very, very smart tactician....who could back off and box & counter very effectively.

    Sounds alot like MAB - but I think Nelson does everything a bit better and his speed and strength advantage over MAB are telling.

    Peace.
