Another kahn critic

[Kev]

Bilbo,lets try again,it wasnt that he was cut,it was where it was bleeding in to.It was going right in to his eye,thats the cut your supposed to stop a fight on,because the guy cant see at that point

Monkey I am in complete and 100% TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

I've never claimed otherwise.

But HOW IS THIS AMIR'S FAULT?

I never said Khan didnt do what he needed to do,but we cant make this Cesaer conquering either. Its an unsatisfying fight,because without the headbut we dont know who would have won the fight.
Truthfully I thought Khan would have torched him,but the fact that Barrera held up with one eye,makes the whole thing shaky. It definitly should have been stopped earlier and gone no contest.
Whats really interesting is if Khan's people go for the re-match

Monkey I agree with you mate completely. I have no problem with people saying the fight ended in an unsatisfying way and that Barrera was handicapped from the start, it's just all the Khan hating and bashing that goes with it that annoys me.

He hasn't done anything wrong and even though Barrera was cut it's still not an automatic win Khan still had to box those 5 rounds and he won them in style, whether Barrera was hampered or not.

It's the hating and total downplaying of Khan that I can't stand.

I mean look at Feeney's first post that started this thread.

First off he says that Khan beat merely a 'tiny' man. Well this man is the same size and from the same weight class as the two fighters who currently DOMINATE the lightweight divison so why is Barrera's size a factor here?

Secondly Feeney says a '35 year old' man as if that means any hald decent fighter should be able to whup him on account of his age. Well Barrera is actually YOUNGER than Juan Manuel Marquez. He's YOUNGER than De La Hoya, he's YOUNGER than Shane Mosely and he's MUCH YOUNGER than Bernard Hopkins. He's actually YOUNGER than Joe Calzahghe too.

Let me guess, he's got more wear and tear because of the ring wars right, whereas the tearups that Mosely and Marquez have had just didnt effect them like it did Marco

Then he says a 'one eyed man' which fair enough he was fighting with a bad cut. But unless you want to say it's the worst cut in the history of boxing and he was more impaired than any other fighter in history then you must give Khan credit as other boxers have been cut as badly and even worse and still gone on to give great performances and even won.


Just give Khan his dues is all I'm saying.

He's a 22 year old kid who was destroyed just two fights ago. Instead of trying to get an easy route back with a series of soft fights he went for one of the biggest legends in the sport, a make or break fight, and although the cut was unfortunate he still won the fight.
