    Has anyone else heard the rumours flying about regarding this fight??

    Apparently set to be confirmed within a few hours, there is nothing about i can see on the net, but if this is true very good step up for Amir. If in the uk i might actully go and watch this fight.

    Well I can't find any info on it but if true, I'm totally undecided on what to make of this fight.

    KHAN v LEGEND

    By David Anderson 15/01/2009
    EXCLUSIVE
    Amir Khan has landed a dream fight against the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera.
    Details of the clash are due to be announced in London today and Khan's showdown with the three-weight world champion is expected to take place on March 14.
    Mexican Barrera, who turns 35 on Saturday, jumped at the chance to face 22-year-old Khan at lightweight.
    Promoter Frank Warren will consider London's O2 Arena, Manchester's MEN Arena and Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for the mega-fight.

    please i hope not

    Blimey, that's taking a chance isn't it? Even though Khan will be much bigger (Barrera looked like a little fat man last time out) Barrera is still active.

    Even if it's officially announced, expect Barrera to mysteriously pull out one week before, to be replaced by obscure, no-name, unbeaten fighter from the South Pacific.

    I originally saw this thread and thought it was just one of those "what would happen?" threads. Having seen the link on here, and the story/pic on the bbc website as well, then it's pretty obvious that they're taking it seriously.

    We all know about Khan's chin....hopefully they've been working hard on his defence, and will continue to do so, because even to put him in with a guy naturally smaller, with 40+ KOs in 60 wins, and his last defeat against P4P #1 Pacquiao seems like a huge gamble. Really looking forward to it, and I imagine it's going to be a PPV with a Maccarinelli v Banks bout on the same card. And to be honest, I'm gonna be there if that's the case.

    What has Khan and Jennings for that matter done to piss off Frank

    seriously though good call...

    i think the hype has gone with khan and this will get it right back and don't forget to the averages UK fan he's taking on the guy who beat Naz.

    anyone see Barreras last fight as i think it went un-noticed in the boxing world which speaks volumes on how much he has left.

    smart move by Sports Network.

    but a massive gamble and unfortunatly one they will lose as i still see Barrera Sparking Khan in the first round

    I think it's a big risk (if it happens ).

    AS long as Barrera isn't coming for the payday - which could see him turn up fat, take a few clumps then sit it out.

    At this stage he is not COMPLETELY "gone", is he?

    He's NOT coming out of retirement. He's still active and there's been talk of him landing a "world" title shot at lightweight.

    I can see Khan seriously BOTTLING it.

    Khan is signed up to a multifight PPV deal with Sky. Last time around they put him on the same card as Pac-ODLH so it was always going to sell but next time they need people to buy the PPV for the Khan fight. Taking on an aged Barrera will sell the PPV easily and with some luck MAB will have diminished enough for Khan to take the win (although i'm not so sure), plus Barrera will certainly not be the heaviest puncher at lightweight and Khans biggest weakness is his chin so what seems to be a risky move by Warren may well turn out ok for him and Khan.

    Personally I hope Barrera kicks his ass!

    Kahn may be holding his own agains Pacquiao in sparring bu how many first rounds does Amir get in sparring?

    He only ges one in a fight with someone of Barreras class, what I mean is Amir wouldnt be winning every round of sparring and like someone has said on here, 1 quick win back hasnt taugh him anything, he'll be back to the same open defenced syle when in front of a home crowd, showing off against an old fighter, who deffinitly still has enough left to embarrass kahn.

    He made weight and ko'd the guy in the second round. All he needed to do.

    If this fight happens I'll be waving my Mexican and English flags with pride.
