That's the point.

If Barrera wins everyone laughs at Khan, if Barrera loses he was shot.

Khan can't win
You're only talking about the opinions of hardcore boxing fans who post on forums though Fenster.

If Khan wins the fight he wins huge in terms of future earning power, probably immediate title shot, massive tv coverage and he will be back to being the golden boy of British boxing again.

The comments of Violent Demise on Saddo's and similar non descripts on Eastside and Dog House won't affect his future in any way shape or form.


Look at Manny, ok on here he's not getting credit, but that hasn't stopped the rest of the world hailing him as the worlds best p4p fighter, and who now has already lined up another huge pay day and mega fight against Ricky Hatton who HBO are covering in a 24/7 show and will generate near record breaking ppv numbers.

Does Manny care one bit that posters on here arn't giving him full credit, my belief is that he does not.


Ultimately as important as we like to think our opinions are the fact is the boxing world hasn't heard of any of us and doesn't give two shits what we think. Even Steve Bunce continues to be even aware of our existence every time he talks about boxing on the internet.
I'm sure he will. Con will get his credit mostly in the UK. It's the UK that foolishly build him up. And it's the UK that watched in horror as he crashed and burn. So obviosly it's the UK that will try and salvage what it can. Even if it means exaggerating. The rest of the world sees what's in front of it and goes by that. And that is Barrera is done as a fighter. It's like this. The Barrera that Con beat on Saturday. If your where to change his name to lets say Jose Martinez. Or Bobby Smith. The win means nothing. But since the name said Barrera the UK decides to over hype it. But in reality all Con did was beat an older, smaller, weaker fighter who was handicapped by a head butt induced cut. Yeah real impressive
