Ex-multiweight world champion Marco Antonio Barrera held a press conference today in England for his lightweight showdown Saturday night against Amir Khan to be shown on PPV in North American.
The future Hall of Famer stopped for a photo of himself holding the Mexican flag and chatted with fans as Barrera is held in high esteem by boxing enthusiasts in the UK.
The 35 year old from Guadalajara, 65-6 (43), is by far the biggest threat that 22 year old Khan, 19-1 (15), has ever climbed in the ring to face and a loss to Barrera could mean an end to Khan's megastar status in England.
