Should the Khan/Barrera fight have been called a no contest?

I don't know. I would love to find out what the doctor said to Barrera and what Barrera said back to him. There was no need to carry on with such a disadvantage.

IMO, Barrera decided to fight on thinking of winning the fight by shatering Amir's glass jaw... What's the purpose of continuing to fight is definitely to eventually win the fight... I still have to met a boxer who decided to fight on just to achieve a draw or worst, to get a loss...
.

obviously every fighter thinks they can win the fight, no one is gonna go on with an attitude of "shit, i'm done and have nothing left, but let me continue to take damage" that'd be an idiot bud, stop trying to instigate, Arce aside from maybe one round was getting hammered and mauled against Darchinyan yet continued on until they finally stepped in and decided he couldn't continue

They decided to continue fighting coz they're still hoping to land that punch that can turn the fight around... Warrior attitude is also one reason... They're hesitant to call it quits... They want a 3rd party (doctor, referee) to do it for them to save them the criticism of being labeled as a quitter...
