Khan v Barrera may become a title fight

[Fenster]

I'm going to pray every night about this. IF it becomes a title fight, yes I'm a Barrera fan and want him to win but Christ on a bike, Khan has done nothing to deserve it. The man who beat him - where's he? The only positive thing to come from this is if he beats Barrera (please god no) then Khan gets to mix it with the big boys and knocked out in every meaningful fight that is left of his career.

There's even less chance of Khan fighting the big boys should he (FW) get hold of the WBO belt.

They'll get at least half-a-dozen defences as "world" champ out of it. Amongst the unknown no-name challengers there'll be a few Brit superfights with Alex Arthur (cert), Nicky Cook and Ricky Burns.

yeah, world class for sure

the one thing we have in our favour (& increases our chances of him being knocked out again) is his own amazing self confidence. He will believe he can beat them

The more we start ignoring sanctioning body belts, the better.

When Khan and Barrera step into the ring in March, there will only be one legit lightweight champ, and that's the winner of Marquez-Diaz, who will be the Ring/lineal champ.

I agree 100%.

[JazMerkin]

This is an obvious one, Warren was always going to have that WBO belt ready once the fight was on. Also to whoever said Barrera wasn't fancied, check out the Barrera v Khan thread that I think Missy started, Barrera is almost a 3 to 1 favourite amongst posters on here.

Pffffft!!!!

The only good thing coming out of this I think is Campbell moving up a division. Who fancies the winner of pac man - hatton to take on Campbell?

I dont think Nate will get his chance to crash teh big time at lightwelter cuz you have good fighters like Holt and Bradley ahead of him in the queue.

Shame really cuz I think Nate could have had a good scrap with Pac but his best chance at big fights was at lightweight and he blew it . All he had to do was make weight for a couple more fights and mega matches were waiting for him.

I see Barrera becoming the first ever 4 weight Mexican champion and Nate falling into obscurity

yet more damage done to the sport if this happens - two undeserving , atg present, fighters getting a world title shot.

more damage to the alphabet boys mind which isn't such a bad thing from my point of view.

the more and more this happens the more weight it will give to the Ring belt - thats the only one that means anything to me now. I know who the best fighters are in each division.

Let the alphabet boys continue on their date with oblivion

Barrera undeserving? after his career ? what u been smoking ? its good sh*t whatever it is!

Erik got a shot at the WBC title after 3 straight losses ( 2 by ko ) and nobody said boo

[Mark TKO]

'at present' I said - let him whoop Khan then take it from there. I will be willing him to get there believe me. Yes he's beaten the best in the past and is a living legend and yes it helps you queue jump.

I said the same about Bruno when he got the McCall shot - I loved Bruno (not in that sense)

The winner of this fight doesn't deserve to call themselves the world champion do they.

[W1NKY]

first thing that came to my mind was what a joke second thing is actually i hope it is because lets just say khan does win then hes got the wbo which means......... no more ducking fighters for khan and frank warren. witch also meens khan getting knocked the F out in hes first defense of the title so ime gonna look on the bright side of this one haha

[BoomBoom]

I kinda feel bad for Funeka. He fights the real champ who outweighed him, loses a close battle that he did everything he could to win, and then the titles are vacant only for two other fighters to have a crack at them. And I doubt Khan will be put anywhere near a ring with Funeka, assuming Khan wins.
