I cannot believe people are building this guy up on the back of that awful "win".
I will disagree with you on both fronts, except for the fact GUzman and JMM would likely stop Khan. First many unproven guys who have much less hype or media attention around them have gotten shots quicker than Khan, second how is his win against Barrera awful? He dominated that fight, I am not saying he is the second coming, but his speed and size has to give both Guzman and JMM some trouble.
I have made my arguments about the Barrera fight numerous times amongst the various threads so will just say it quickly.

Khan managed to have a Barrera with one of the worst cuts in modern boxing in front of him after two minutes of the fight. A cut caused by a clash of heads. Let's not forget Barrera could see with only one eye due to the amount of blood. Khan was able to look so sharp because Barrera was effectively at a handicap. He "won" a fight that should have been stopped earlier and declared void.

Barrera's plight enabled Khan to look much better than he really is.

As far as I'm concerned Khan is NOT a world level player. This "win" does not put him there. If he does go for it now, then I think he will be sorely found out.
