Then he went 12 rounds with the best fighter in the world and got an easy 4th round KO in his last fight.

I don't see how losing two decisons against arguably the number 1 and number 2 p4p fighters on the planet makes him 'shot'

Passed his best maybe, but he's still a force to be reckoned with and it would be a HUGE victory for Khan if he pulls it off.

The kid gets so much criticism but he's only 21 and is already facing a legend like Barrera, and so soon after getting brutally KO'd.

You have to admire him, the lad has some balls on him.
I still maintain that had the KD been scored, then that was a clear Barrera win. Even without the KD Barrera was right there with Marquez. The Pac fight was disappointing because it really seemed that Pac was not quite at his best and that there were opportunities there if Barrera had pushed that bit more.

It is a huge risk for Khan, and Im still a little surprised he's stepped up to this so soon. His career will look all Audley Harrison-esque if Barrera stops him...as he very well may do.
