Barrera should go home and heal properly, and I think he should come back and have a couple of low key build up fights against guys who have better records than the two before Khan, and if he still feels he has something left take on someone in the top 10 and then maybe have a final shot at a belt. Then win or lose, just retire.

He doesn't need to fight so could just retire, but I don't think he is as shot as people make out, nor Khan as good as people are suggesting.

Now are you sure?

No, I'm not sure by any means. Those are just general perceptions really.

I love Barrera,but Im thinking the train has left the station

Barrera wont think he lost . He got heabutted right away and couldnt continue because of the cut . He wasnt beaten by Khan therefore we still havent seen what he has left cuz a guy whos blinded by blood isnt able to show what they can do.

KHAN RE_MATCH. I believe after that 1st round Khan would of worn him down and beaten him within the distance. He wouldnt of gone down but the ref would of rescued him.

But theres thousands that disagree with that, Barrera himself claims Khan couldnt hurt him (i think hes lyin) so lets get that forhead sorted and get a re-match goin.

I wouldn't mind a rematch too. If Khan can beat him properly then I will be impressed, but that last "win" was a hollow one and Marco deserves a chance to give a proper account of himself.

The Sun Lounger is all old Barrera needs these days, I wouldn't say he was shot, he talks well no slurring but after 70 odd fights the fires not burning so bright anymore and fighting two divisions above his best is just too much this late in his career.

Well he could stay in the sport a little while longer if he is matched carefully. There could be a possible fight with Joel Casamayor or come up and fight feather fisted Paulie Malinaggi or a rematch with Juan Marquez. Heck maybe a fight with Oscar De La hoya at catchweight. But I do not want to see him be a stepping stone for some up and comer who is faster or hits hard.
