One of the most famous fights of all time was delayed for a few weeks by a cut (and that man Bill McMurray).

I would think Warren is paying him handsomely - he has a history of offering big paydays to fading names to come over and put the reputation on the line.

Aye, the man floored by the overrated Henry Cooper.

Did you have a source for that, or were you just speculating?

I can't believe SN would advertise a fight and it not happen!!!
I thought from the start it was a crazy fight to take, I hope i'm wrong though, but then Khan needs to be protected

He is still not really tested. Barrera is passed it but hardly shot to bits, he is still 34, and was up there against the p4p fighters only about a year or two ago.

Khan is still on the learning curve, which does not help when facing experienced guys like Barrera

Who are you, and how have you logged into Observers account and written this accurate piece on Khan?

Come off it OR, it's transparent. He spends six weeks going "Oooh, I don't think Khan will win, he can't win in fact, his older slower smaller shot opponent is gonna be too much for him, ooh the nerves".

Fight night comes around, Khan wins, Observer gets an excuse to get the bunting out.

It's basically the reverse of Riddick's "{X} to flatten Khan as soon as he connects, it's a lock, put shedloads of dosh on it" tactic.

We're both (surprisingly) saying the same thing, its not the opposite.

Barrera to flatten Khan as soon as he connects, put the mortgage on it!

Do people still think Barrera has no chance after his all too brief appearance on Sky on Friday night?
