Barrera still sparks him.

I think more people let their love for Barrera blind the fact that he has very little left to offer to Boxing. Time to retire me thinks ;D

You could look at it like that.

But the truth is we were not given the opportunity to see what was left in the tank, Khan was able to "sparkle" in the most fortunate of circumstances.

As far as I'm concerned this past fight is not a proper means of judging how a rematch would go. I've always maintained Khan would start quickly and win the early rounds and that was made far easier by the cut.

5 rounds and a bloodbath is no barometer by which we can say Khan has Barrera's number.

I'd say his 2 previous opponents suggest that he doesn't have much left in the tank. And the fact that he is being promoted by Don King. I reckon he probably had about as much chance of winning this as Tito did against Roy Jones actually.

I would favor Khan coz MAB isn't getting any younger.

Hard to say really im undecided Khan did well to win but then he was fighting a Barrera who had blood gushing in his eye from round 1 onwards the cut was unreal a rematch wouldnt be a bad idea.

Khan would win in a one sided fashion and people would wish Barerra had just stuck with the NC so he could at least stay in the big time picture. Why do people want to see Chavez DLH II? Or at least a poor mans version of it.

It was said best on Beyond the Glory with Oscar, he couldn't make Chavez's fans love him.

So what does it prove for Khan to get a rematch and beat Barerra making him look even more past it then that fight did? So people will take credit again and say Barerra was past it?

Khan wins this by a wide margin. Can't see him stopping Barerra late unless it was on cuts, by a punch.

What would be different in the rematch? barerra can't outbox or impose his will on Khan. He can't hope to counterpunch him because yeah, people say Khan's punches landed on Barerra's gloves, but at the same time at least Khan was throwing, he would throw a combination and whether or not they all landed Barerra rarely if ever got off an answer to them.

So you can complain about Khan throwing punches that land on the gloves but it's not like Barerra returned a combination that landed anything either.

Barerra's only chance is to stop Khan with one shot. And Khan has showed that he can deal with a Barerra thats going for broke trying to KO him.


But even after Khan wins the rematch he won't get any credit whatsoever anyway

Definatly Khan with the same gameplan back up when Mab wants a fight and just overhwhelm when he wants a rest. Not enough left in the tank IMO.

Same thin as the first fight
Barrera KO about the 6th round
