don King protests Khan Win

[Gandalf]

To be fair, what he said is true.

Only in the eyes of some hardcore boxing fans did Khan not win fair and square.

Whether it was solely down to the cut or not Barrera just didn't make it close enough. So you wont create the same buzz, you wont sell 20,000 tickets and you wont sell the PPV.

The rematch is never gonna happen in a million years.

I'm with Fenster, he didn't say MAB was over the hill, but that was what people had said after he beat him, so if he did again he would get even less credit. If Khan gets a world title, then Barrera has to get a win over a decent opponent to get back in the mix for a rematch.

Only in the gutter press have they been saying that. The letters page in Boxing News and numerous well known boxing forums think otherwise.

The fight will sell. Khan fans will shell out for anything, Barrera fans know he got stiffed.

Khan picks up bauble title, Barrera/King press for rematch, Barrera gets his title at 4th weight

I can see that happening. Barrera needs to come back with a decent win as JazMerkin says, and preferably against a name or someone decent in the top 10. It will hammer home the point that he can still fight at this level and put him in line for a title shot easily enough with a little influence. Barrera is still a big name.

Barrera might even get in line for a title shot before Khan considering the trajectory Khan's career has been following prior to the Barrera "win". All of Khan's accolades have come off of this single non event, it's a fair possibility that Khan gets sparked again before Barrera has any sniff of getting near him.

I can see Barrera winning a belt at 135, but Khan might not have any play in that as I think one good win and Barrera has his shot. Khan might still be fighting more gimmees knowing how Warren works. I still want to see it though as I think Barrera deserves the chance to close Khan's mouth once and for all.
