    Cool Re: Barrera is denied rematch...

    & the doctor could have as well. I still consider it a negligent act on their behalf.

    I suspect the corner and Barrera knew the fight would be stopped by the cut sooner rather than later, Khans punches weren't doing a whole lot so give Barrera a chance by keeping him in the ring.

    Thing is, it's created a lot of bad feeling because it robbed fans of an intriguing match-up over the distance that was ruined in 90 seconds. It should have been stopped. I don't much care if the crowd wouldn't have liked it. I wouldn't have liked it at the time but it would have been understandable. It was a cock-up. Khan fans declare it a wonderful scalp (literally) for his record, Barrera fans see it a cooked decision.

    I'm by no means a Khan fan...in fact I despise the little nugget!!

    But I could never consider him beating MAB convincingly or even how it turned out to be in controversial circumstances as a SCALP...He's past it and should hangem up,the man is shot...Period!

    And cannot be considered one for this reason!

    The truth is that we have NO way of knowing if Barrera is shot. Two fights where he was just trying to get rounds in against cab drivers and then the Khan forehead assault in less than a round. We have little to go on in these recent fights. But before that Barrera had given Marquez a great fight and then gone through the motions for 12 against Manny.

    To say he is shot is harsh and a tad premature. I want to see Barrera back in the ring and quickly so we can all see for sure. Needs to be a top 10 LW.

    MAB has been an unquestionably Great fighter,but you look at him now and he has slowed considerably and is a shadow of his former self...maybe shot is harsh and I should have just said time to hangem up,but it does'nt hide the fact he is ageing and is at the end of his career!! I just hope he makes the decision to end it now and he does'nt end up another boxer clinging onto their career credibility because they could'nt let go!

    He is getting on and no doubt not quite what he was several years ago. But we haven't really been given any opportunity to see what he has left.

    I still want to see him fight. If he doesn't impress, then yes, I will admit that he should retire. But he should at least have the chance to get a fair fight in before making that decision.

    The Khan fight was utter bollocks TBH. Neither man proved all that much to me.

    I agree with mofo

    Even if the cut was a valid reason for his loss - he didn't look like a lightweight. He looked old, worryingly slow and has no power at the weight.

    His days of fighting in the big league ended with the 2nd Pac loss. I'd rather not see Barrera get beat up again.
