135 Marco Antoio Barrera vs Amir Khan ??

[cambay411]

They already fought and Khan won.

I know but a prime MAB at that weight

Marco's prime was at 122-126 so it's impossible to speculate.. he's just not built to be a LW fighter..

But if Marco was a natural LW and had the same abilities that he had at the lower divisions, I still think Khan is a stylistical nightmare for him .. Khan is too fast and have too much reach/range for him..

The same way as Naz was too fast for him I suppose! we're talking at their prime here I understand. if that's the case, the best ever Barrera would beat the best ever Khan even if he had to give him 10 pounds.

Khan is faster than Naz with sharper skills and more power. Khan is just overall a level or two above Naz.

Nonetheless I honestly see MAB taking it with his timing and power. He would avoid getting hit with his tight defense and throw back after blocking with a nice catch and pitch strategy.

I hate to do this but I am going to take my last post back lol.

I see Khan staying on the outside with his reach and avoiding punches. With his speed and reach he will be able to hit MAB and with those sharp combos maybe even get a KO.

I agree with Khan being a nightmare matchup for MAB with his size, speed and power.

Barrera was never prime at lightweight. Barrera was never anything at lightweight. Khan would always beat him at lightweight because barrera would be giving too much away.
