The title speaks for itself. Is he done, unlucky, needs to go back down: what? What should he do. Many might say retire but its too bad that he'd have to go out on a loss like he had to Khan. What do you guys think?

Retire is all I can say, or otherwise do one last final fight in Mexico for all his fans against some no mark.
Thats what I thoughtQuote:

That trilogy was too good to see it soiled by watching the 2 of em slugging out with nothing left.Quote:

Barrera should go home and heal properly, and I think he should come back and have a couple of low key build up fights against guys who have better records than the two before Khan, and if he still feels he has something left take on someone in the top 10 and then maybe have a final shot at a belt. Then win or lose, just retire.
He doesn't need to fight so could just retire, but I don't think he is as shot as people make out, nor Khan as good as people are suggesting.
Now are you sure? :)Quote:

No, I'm not sure by any means. Those are just general perceptions really.Quote:

Barrera wont think he lost . He got heabutted right away and couldnt continue because of the cut . He wasnt beaten by Khan therefore we still havent seen what he has left cuz a guy whos blinded by blood isnt able to show what they can do.
KHAN RE_MATCH. I believe after that 1st round Khan would of worn him down and beaten him within the distance. He wouldnt of gone down but the ref would of rescued him.
But theres thousands that disagree with that, Barrera himself claims Khan couldnt hurt him (i think hes lyin) so lets get that forhead sorted and get a re-match goin.
I wouldn't mind a rematch too. If Khan can beat him properly then I will be impressed, but that last "win" was a hollow one and Marco deserves a chance to give a proper account of himself.Quote:

Hopefully no more fights. He is done.
The whole week he looked disinterested to me. The fact he brought half of Mexico with him made it all seem a bit holiday-ish. Maybe he underestimated Khan, but he clearly can't compete at the top anymore.
I think you lot are being a tad harsh on marco here.
Nobody expected him to outgun the faster, younger khan early on but to slowly work his way into the fight as khan slowed between rounds and to think from 2 onwards he was only able to see out of the 1 eye he never really got the chance to make that happen.
Warren says he wants khan back in for June. If the cut isnt as bad as 1st feared and marco can make the weight for June i dont see why not.
Wont happen though - Barrera may now become completely gunshy of khan and Amirs team will be hesitant to refight a guy many feel he has already proven himself against
What is next for Barrera?

But maybe it's just because he's older and fatter. :-\
If some kid headbutted me but I was still able to rock him b4 getting stopped on cuts Id go for a rematch knowing I could beat him .
Khan is the same guy who got beaten up by Prescott only difference is Khan didnt get chance to cut Breidis
Game your seriously layin it on kinda thick, first of all the headbutt was accidental, second of all Barrera in no fucking point and time stunned or rocked Khan, if anything Khan rocked Barrera on the ropes, i don't give Khan full credit cause honestly Barrera looked shot, not that Khan didn't look or perform wellQuote:

Show Amir all the love you want but winning from a headbutt doesnt impress me 1 bit .

But I do not want to see him be a stepping stone for some up and comer who is faster or hits hard.
