Barrera, 'I'm a Much Better Fighter Than Amir Khan'

[leftylee]

Barrera is gonna get stopped. I know it.

You know nothing.

3 month sig bet then smart ass ?

[DatsiK]

I wanna team up with leftylee with this sig bet in favour of Khan. Who is willing to bet?!

[leftylee]

The reason why Khan will beat Barrera.

SPEED.

Speed kills. Look at Mosely v Margarito...nobody on god's earth gave Mosely a chance.

Good thing for Khan is he has power too. Barrera at his age won't be able to handle Khan devastating speed. That's all there is too it. Sure Khan has a dodgy chin. But you have to land to inflict damage. That's another problem. I just don't see Barrera landing at all, Khan's reflexes are too fast.

Khan TKO around 5.

A few months ago, I would have been solidly been rooting for MAB, as he has been one of my favourite fighters, however, with a lot of the general anti-Khan feeling & the fact that so many older fighters have been taking out younger guys who could become stars, I've really come round to supporting Khan, although I dunno how I'll feel when they're actually in the ring.

However, there can be no arguing with the fact that Khan will never be able to be anywhere near the fighter MAB has been, however, like lefty I think his speed could just prove to be too much for Barrera, but then we have seen how much experience has helped older guys take out younger fighters recently

I think MAB should have stayed retired and is going to get sent back to retirement after this fight.

I have not seen him in his last comeback fight, but when he fought JMM and Pac last he was so slow, I was hoping he would pack it in. He is shot and is on borrowed time right now IMO.

was worried about MAB's frame of mind coming into this

this news gives me a hell of a lot more confidence and I am now really looking forward to this one more than ever at the MEN - should be a good night.

I will be fully behind MAB for this one but in a way I don't want the majority of the crowd to be pro Barrera - not right for Khan if you know what I mean

My current thinking is now Barrera around 7 - six weeks ago I had him retiring on his stoll at end of 9th.

roll on next week - see a few of you there

You should have never doubted Barrears frame of mind. The guy would rather kill his own mother than lay down to Amir Khan . The guy is a killer and is coming here to assasinate Khan. Barrera has tried to control his temper with some skillful boxing but he boils over and if it happens in Manchester then bye bye Khan .

You dont want the corwd to be against Amir? Im want every single person to be spitting abuse at him for every second! A real pro Barrera crowd im expecting

deanrw - If Barrera was so slow why couldnt Manny or Marquez put him away or atleast drop him . In both those fights Manny and Marquez were hurt more than Barrera . Marquez in teh 7th and Manny in the 11th . Khan isnt in that league and will be alot easier to hurt

i aint even gonna try and predict an outcome for this fight coz its got that many ifs and buts that im gonna just sit back and enjoy the show. im sick of predicting,the amount of times i have and my so called reasoning,fight break down, logic, has been blown the fuck apart by that thing called the unexpected.ha,maybe thats why i love this game so much

[skel1983]

As this fight gets closer the more i am changing my mind i actully think Kahn will do a number on Barerra, i know Kahn has got a glass jaw but i was reading a few things about this bought and i think i read since 2002 Barrera has only had 3 stoppages showing he is no way a lightweight and Kahn is probably a 140/147 fighter of the future, also Barreras brother is so against this he advised him against it, i fancy Kahn to even possibly stop Barrera.

[Kirkland Laing]

I want Barrera to win but I don't know what he's got left. I'm hoping he's got enough to beat Khan though.

[BoomBoom]

Barrera is absolutely a much better fighter. But hes also is the older, smaller, and slower fighter at this point. I think Kahn will be a bit too fast and strong for him, but of course MAB could surprise me and his world class experience and could prevail. Thats what im hoping for.

[rjj tszyu]

I agree . He is a much better fighter and I expect him to prove it next week!

[Violent Demise]

If Barrera is looking for one last title fight he needs to start picking up his comp level. Barrera is on his 3rd bum since the 2nd Pacqiuoa fight. Not only that but the bums seem to getting worse and worse as he travels the world. First it was 19 loss having Sammy Ventura in China. Than it's off to Mexico to take on 1-7 Freudis Rojas. Now Barrera is headed to the UK to take on A Mere Con. A fighter who doesn't even have a chin. Pretty disappointing stuff from Barrera.

[Spicoli]

Barrera is right.Maybe Im nuts but I think his best chance is to go pre Hamed and fight like a pressure puncher.We can ask accurate questions of Barrera at this point.....his stamina,lacking defense,coming off loss in previous 'big' fight.....you can also ask of Khan.This is man meets boy and I think Barrera will take Khan into deep waters & back him up for Tko win.

No fighter is a bum. Sammy Ventura and Freddy Rojas both got in the ring with a world champion, I thinks thats more than you will ever be able to say. Amir Khan was an amateur champion and is a ranked lightweight as a pro. If that make a person a bum, than I guess 99.9% of fighters are bums and only the top .1% are not. What does that make 99.9% of boxing fans then? With all due respect, think before you type.
