Pacquiao, at 28, is on his prime while Barrera, at 33, is considering this fight to be his last. Will Barrera, badly beaten by Pacquiao in their first encounter, muster enough tricks from his brilliant boxing career to make this a competitive fight or will Pacquiao, like what he did to Morales in their 3rd encounter, bulldozed an aging Barrera into an early submission?
Manny Pacquiao entered the big-time with his upset victory over Marco Antonio Barrera nearly four years ago.

With only seconds remaining in the eleventh round, Barrera covered-up against a barrage of punches which prompted his corner to stop the assault. Barrera has wanted a rematch with Pacquiao ever since losing to him in 2003.
