As for the name Barrera on his resume. People wont view that as a win because a headbutt stopped the fight . Should have been a NC not satisfactory at all. ( apart from to the Khan bummers)
How is his opportunity undeserved, he's an Olympic Silver Medalist and one of the biggest names in British boxing. Marco Antonio Barrera needed Khan every bit as much as Khan needed him, that's why he was willing to come to the UK to fight him. Khan generates interest and therefore money.

Besides Barrera isn't a world champion and wasn't even rated at lightweight so what about Khan facing him is undeserved? Who did deserve the shot at Barrera in your eyes?

And besides Barrera what other undeserved opportunities did he have? Was he not ready to fight Willie Limond? Did he jump the cue for Graham Earl and Michael Gomez.

Before you were criticising him for not making the big fights now your criticising the biggest name on his record and saying he shouldn't have had the chance in the first place?

If you think a guy who got beaten inside a minute by an unknown is more deserving of a superfight than someone who has paid their dues like Thaxton then thats fair enough . Thats all I needed to know about you . Lets leave it there .
hahahahhahah I;d LOVE to hear Don King explain to Barrera why he's NOT going to the UK to fight Amir Khan, arguably the most well known face in British boxing, that he'll be on a PPV card will fight in a packed arena in front of thousands and that a win will catapault him straight into the title mix at lightweight, but instead is coming over to the hometown of Jon Thaxton, seriously mate get a clue.
