    Nelson because he was better. Either by UD, or late KO.

    Anyone that thinks Barrera would be competetive needs help. This would be an easy dominant mid round stoppage or if Azumah didn't want a mark on his face he'd win every second in a ud. Barrera is at best a great light. Nelson was an atg and the difference in class would show.

    Yeah thats what I'm trying to say. Call me crazy, or a hater... but Ive never been overly impressed by Barrera. Not saying he wasnt great, he wasnt a "special" fighter IMO and theres a number of guys in the history of 126-130 who I'd pick over him. Nelson? Not too many, especially not at 130. Nelson was a special fighter. Barrera got by mostly on skill, and heart rather than raw talent. Nelson had every bit the skill, only with alot more talent to go with it.

    Barrera got by on matchmaking and he had a vastly superior fighter's number. Barrera and Felix Trinidad are eaSILY THE most overrated fighters in history. I am not saying they are bums so the nuttlickers can shove it. I am saying that compared to other great fighters they were at the absolute bottom. Barrera beat Morales twice and lost to every other good to great fighter he fought. People seem to gloss over his twin losses to Junior Jones. Arguello would have killed Barrera. They aren't in the same class.

    That movie was unwatchable. Robert Downey was good and so was Tom Cruise who just played a fat version of his character in Magnolia. I hATED THAT MOVIE. EVERY GOOD PART YOU COULD SEE in the trailers.

    Tropic Thunder was pretty funny the first time I saw it, then I tried rewatching it a few days ago and got very bored. No rewatch quality about it like some other great comedies.
