    Freddie Roach has Taken Pac to 2 wins over Barrera so he knows how to beat Barrera so he must have confidance in his man to pull it off but i keep thinking Breidis Prescott all over again because this is still Marco Antonio Barrera.

    Wasn't Roach in Juarez's corner against Barrera?


    And as we've all said...Khan ain't Pacquiao. Speed, check, keeps busy, check, angles, no, defence, no, experience no, chin

    Amir Khan is probably the most famous boxer in the UK for non-boxing fans. Some of my friends who aren't into boxing knew who Khan was but didn't know much about anyone else. This is probably for 2 reasons. First his Olympic medal at 17 and his exposure on ITV. He was a fighter who non-boxing fans talked about because he was hyped so much. He was then moved to PPV. I went down to the pub with a few mates to watch his fight against Prescott. After the fight people weren't really bothered with him anymore because he was so rubbish.
    I think by getting a fight with Barrera, Warren is trying to raise awareness of Khan again. Everyone knew Nazism Hammed and the only person to beat him is Barrera. This makes Barrera quite a big name in the UK to people who don't watch boxing much. If Khan can beat Barrera then people will think he's better than Naz and maybe start following Khan again.

    I think it is sink or swim for Khan.


    Edit
    Sorry for the big writing

    I have to say, I'd be very impressed if Khan stops Barrera. And, let's face it some people get "caught." Prescott came out with a gameplan, and I think it could have just as easily been the other way around.

    Barrera has no quit in him, so I hope that Khan knows he is going to have to fight a fighter that brings a good variety to the table... of course along with a complete legacy. In reality, Barrera has taken less time off in retirement than some active fighters! I am picking Barrera for this one.

    So, to me, Khan losses to the slugger and then to the technician.

    Yes, a jab.

    I can only forsee Barrera getting stopped if, he had bad sushi the night before, a biased british ref jumps in as soon as Khan throws a 3-punch combo or allah is seeking revenge after the Naz incident.

    I'm pretty sure Warren gets to renegotiate the terms of Khan's contract if he loses two fights during it.

    The chronology went like this :

    Khan's first contract finished and Warren offered him a big money second contract to beat out offers from elsewhere.

    Khan got starched in 54 seconds. Maybe there was one fight in between signing the contract and Prescott but essentially Khan became worth much less commercially just after he'd signed to Warren for big money. Warren's initial reaction to the sparking was illuminative in this respect.

    Khan then does another Sky PPV against an Irish roadsweeper.

    Probably the numbers were so bad from that PPV/ticket sales were rubbish so that Warren was stuck with the fact that Khan against a no name isn't going to cut the mustard for Sky PPV customers and paying punters. He can only do it with quality opposition, hence Barrera. And if it's true that Khan's contract can be renegotiated if he loses twice then it's a win-win for Frank. He does a big promotion and makes lots of money. Khan either wins which gives him credibility and makes him worth his contract or he loses and spends the rest of the contract fighting for relative buttons on the undercard of Warren's shows.

    The folk who think Barrera has a chance against Kahn are being stitched up. I see a gradual beatdown and a late stoppage.

    Of course when that happens i'll give it ten minutes before a 'Barrera is shot' thread appears on here.

    Khan will get zero credit for this win from a lot of people because the fight won't even be close.

    Barrera believes he can/will win. That's good enough for me.

    If by some horror he doesn't it still won't change the fact no one likes Khan and any fighter at lw with a solid punch wrecks his career.

    He's not got a great chin. He always seems to get caught high on the temple to be honest but yeah his punch resistance is pretty weak.

    Still offensively he is very good and he'll be too fast for MAB at this stage in his career.

    Sounds about right. Every British fighter who defeats a big name is never given credit by the worldwide public, they just automatically label the opponent as shot or overrated. Tsyzu, Castillo, Lacy, Hopkins, etc all come to mind in recent history, among many others.

    I think Khan is also underrated by just about everyone who call thereself a hardcore boxing fan... I see Khan winning by stoppage or UD, although more likely a easy UD.

    Khan is no way on the level of a Ricky Hatton nor a Joe Calzaghe though and those are your reference points. Calzaghe had been a champ years before the Lacy fight. And Hatton had fought far better opposition than Khan too. Neither Calzaghe nor Hatton had lost prior to their major fights. Could you imagine them two stopped in 54 seconds against...who exactly? Khan is a fraud and I pity the British public buying into this shit. The best thing for everyone is if an old Barrera stomps on him. And he most likely will.

    well since you mention it, KT was past it as were Castillo and Hopkins, Lacy was green.

    But many younger fighters have been fed older fighters as a test of how they are developing. It shouldn't be considered the same as beating someone in their prime which some fans seem to think it is.
