I reckon them prices are wrong, Barrera is never a 1/2 shotRiddick Blowe wrote:wow, stingy odds from hills. The odds will surely lengthen for Barrera when the flood of misinformed hype money goes on Khan?
it would have been interesting to see the odds had Khan not lost to Prescott.

Wow - what is Barrera playing at, Khan is a massive Lightweight.
Barrera hard up or something? I give him more of a chance vs Campbell than I do against Khan.
Not that I am saying I don't think he will - cause I do, but it is a tough fight to call.

I'm sure I read or heard somewhere that Campbell was going to be giving up one of his belts, if I haven't just made that up this could be for the vacant title.

Hills are the only bookies that make Barrera favourite,Riddick Blowe wrote:wow, stingy odds from hills. The odds will surely lengthen for Barrera when the flood of misinformed hype money goes on Khan?

Ladbrokes go 8/13 Khan with Barrera available at 6/5, most of the other major firms go around about the same price with Hills the exception.
Re: Khan's next opponent (Banjo might not want to read)
Campbell is a 37 (something like that) year old bulked up Super Feather who has come up short more often than been successful. He is an enigma, but even at his very best he wasn't good enough for Casamayor, someone I think prime Barrera is better than.Riddick Blowe wrote:lol.stujones wrote:Wow - what is Barrera playing at, Khan is a massive Lightweight.

Khan has speed, size and power over Campbell, what he lacks is skill (possibly) and chin (definately), but against Barrera he is fighting a bulked up Super Bantam without great power at 126 let alone at Lightweight.

Re: Khan's next opponent (Banjo might not want to read)
The 6/4 available on Khan is huge, if you want a free bet back him with Hills and then lay him on Betfair for a free bet.
Re: Khan's next opponent (Banjo might not want to read)
Yes but its a different time and khan is a huge lightweight. naz started at flyweight. Even with those advantages he wont win imoGazMan85 wrote:Imagine the Papers if Khan wins!!

I agree, it is a different time, but that is what I can imagine being in the papers.
Although I do think MAB is at the right stage of his career to be taken by Khan.
Re: Khan's next opponent (Banjo might not want to read)
Oh yes the media will have a field day if khan wins and them the next time he loses as he inevitably will they will crucify him especially the tabloids.GazMan85 wrote:metropol wrote:Yes but its a different time and khan is a huge lightweight. naz started at flyweight.

Khan couldn`t seriously hurt St.Clair ...
Very surprised this match-up is made ... maybe Warren with his new Olympic signings is deciding to give Khan the acid test.
A very genuine fight for Khan, Barrera is old, but would still give most of the top lightweights a decent test .. so if Khan gets past him then its a real feather in his cap.
Talking of feathers though .. barrera was brought in for Naz to look good against .. almost 8years ago - and at featherweight .. it does make you look at the state of the game doesn`t it :(

He has John Nolasco first, though to be honest I know nothing about him, other than that he lost to Luevano.
