Re: Who will win....Barrera or Khan ??
Can't understand your logic here - you're saying Barrera is coming with the intention of losing, throwing away a reputation he's fought his heart out to earn for around 20 years?
Why on earth would he do that?
No doubt he's coming here with the intention of shattering that glass jaw, and earning a few more paydays before heading into the sunset.
Now I happen to think that Khan could win this, but I don't know how you can be so certain with a fighter as vunerable as Khan. You and Frank must have been fairly sure he'd despatch Willie Limmond with little trouble, and look what happened there.[/quote]
Yes - exactly, Limon and Gomez are not a patch on even this version of Barrera whatever way you look at it. Anyone who thinks Barrera is coming over just for a payday - in deluded. Barrera is a genuine star in the sport, he can earn plenty of money on his retirement tour, and has a good shot at a world title - they would have to be paying Barrera insane money for him to be coming along demotivated.

Re: Who will win....Barrera or Khan ??
barrera's last big fight was against the best p4p fighter in the world. Khan isnt even top 50 p4p - top 100 p4p? Please people, look at the stats and do the simple calculation. Barrera is a proud Mexican who knows what Khan is all about. He's had tougher sparring sessions with badass South Americans - born fighters - than he will have with Khan. He's going to come over here and knock Khan into next week without breaking sweat. At this stage, I honestly believe he would have a tougher fight against someone like Joe Morales.
Re: Who will win....Barrera or Khan ??
Totally agree Khan's been over hyped from the start I can't believe its on PPV. I can't believe it may be for a WBO belt what has Khan done to get a world title fight? Prescott doesn't even have one yet and he is twice the fighter Khan is.Riddick Blowe wrote:barrera's last big fight was against the best p4p fighter in the world.

Like i said earlier, i would like to see Khan win, but he on the learning curve and way to inexperienced to take on Barrera.
Re: Who will win....Barrera or Khan ??
Khan's chance relies completely on his ability to keep moving and stay away from Barrera for 12 rounds. If he can do that, he can win

Re: Who will win....Barrera or Khan ??
I didn't buy that one. Not because I thought he'd lose but because I'd never heard of Prescott and was sure he'd win easilyDG. wrote:

I did not buy that either, I saw the fight for free on a stream along with 144,000 others.
