Marco's prime was at 122-126 so it's impossible to speculate.. he's just not built to be a LW fighter..

But if Marco was a natural LW and had the same abilities that he had at the lower divisions, I still think Khan is a stylistical nightmare for him .. Khan is too fast and have too much reach/range for him..

The same way as Naz was too fast for him I suppose! we're talking at their prime here I understand. if that's the case, the best ever Barrera would beat the best ever Khan even if he had to give him 10 pounds.

Khan not being exactly junior jones, he does have enough height, movement and some speed (minus the hoppy kangaroo thing) that it could cause a prime barrera problems. Barrera was not the hardest puncher, and before he refined himself to school Hamed and later outbox many of his mexican slugging peers, he was a brawler. So using the Hamed fight as a guage for barrera, It carries him further through the fight. I just think khans style in particular, bores barrera and leaves him feeling disinterested after chasing him around the ring a few times and being jousted with the lunging straight punches. It becomes an uninspired performance for MAB... barring a presscott-esque shot landed in an exchange... which there could be more or as Khan gets lured into slugfests he has no business of being in, quite often.

Barrerra was like a search and destroy killing machine. Khan is a fast but giant lipped flapping vagina with no punch resistance.

What wight did they fight at ? Lightweight? Khan was bigger and better at the weight.

Yeah it was at lightweight. Headbutt in round 1 caused the fight to be stopped on cuts so it should have been a NC but corrupt uk officiating ensured the home fighter got the win.

A prime mab obviously destoys khan. He was a class or several above guys like Peterson and Prescott

Khan is faster than Naz with sharper skills and more power. Khan is just overall a level or two above Naz.

Nonetheless I honestly see MAB taking it with his timing and power. He would avoid getting hit with his tight defense and throw back after blocking with a nice catch and pitch strategy.

I hate to do this but I am going to take my last post back lol.

I see Khan staying on the outside with his reach and avoiding punches. With his speed and reach he will be able to hit MAB and with those sharp combos maybe even get a KO.

I agree with Khan being a nightmare matchup for MAB with his size, speed and power.

Seems like some dudes cant understand natural size differences lol

Barrera was never prime at lightweight. Barrera was never anything at lightweight. Khan would always beat him at lightweight because barrera would be giving too much away.

We knew Barrera was washed up at lightweight but we don't know what would have happend cuz khans headbutt cut Barrera straight away and the for the next 5 rounds khan was punching an old blinded man but failing to put him away. Point is the guys who destroyed khan are leagues below Barrera but their prime weights are several divisions apart. It's like asking who would win prime floyd or prime wvladimir
