Manny Pacquiao may be taking a shot at Mexico's Marco Antonio Barrera's super featherweight title on March 11, 2007 as it was reserved by the WBC for Barrera's mandatory defense of the said title.

THE MEXICO-BASED World Boxing Council (WBC) has directed the camps of Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao and Mexican hero Marco Antonio Barrera to start negotiations for the mandatory defense of Barrera’s super featherweight title.

Barrera, in an on-line poll, is considered by majority of boxing fans as the most worthy opponent for Pacquiao. The Mexican also hopes to avenge his earlier loss at the hands of the Filipino in 2003.

A March 11 play date has already been reserved by the WBC for Barrera’s defense.
