Barrera still sparks him.
I think more people let their love for Barrera blind the fact that he has very little left to offer to Boxing. Time to retire me thinks
You could look at it like that.

But the truth is we were not given the opportunity to see what was left in the tank, Khan was able to "sparkle" in the most fortunate of circumstances.

As far as I'm concerned this past fight is not a proper means of judging how a rematch would go. I've always maintained Khan would start quickly and win the early rounds and that was made far easier by the cut.

5 rounds and a bloodbath is no barometer by which we can say Khan has Barrera's number.
I'd say his 2 previous opponents suggest that he doesn't have much left in the tank. And the fact that he is being promoted by Don King. I reckon he probably had about as much chance of winning this as Tito did against Roy Jones actually.
