I think Khan showed what would have happened to Barrera had the cut not occured.

Dominating win for Amir, he's improved leaps and bounds since joining up with Freddie Roach.
Bilbo you must be off your rocker seriously, i think Amir Khan done well over a solid opponent. But come off it JMM has shown power, and has one of the most intelligent boxing brains i've seen of this era. And he is also a master counter puncher which is a big no/no for Amir Khan.

Lets not get crazy here, yes Andriy Kotelnik is a decent opponent. But he is slow and he has no power. And to say Amir Khan would beat a fighter like JMM is crazy talk.

This is the first real decent opponent Amir Khan has ever fought, except for Breidis Prescott who himself got beat by some fighter. I've never heard of, lets wait and see when Amir Khan fights a top 10 fighter who has some power. Before you start calling Amir Khan a god.

Not really Ice, a couple years ago we all 'knew' that Manny would get battered if he moved up to face Hatton let alone Oscar, we would have said the p4p undisputed middleweight champ Jermain Taylor would never in a million years lose to Carl Froch, that Barrera would never lose to Amir Khan,.

Times change and a year from now Marquez will be older and slower, and Khan stronger and better.

I'd expect him to win a unanimous decision if they fought 12 months from now, and after the result I expect you guys would just dismiss it as good timing that was all.

Suspect chin aside Khan poses tremendous problems for any boxer to solve. If they can keep his defense tight which seemed a lot better tonight he is hard for ANYBODY to beat.

Anyway, don't take my word for it, just let it all unfurl and you'll see.

He's going to be in the p4p top 10 within the next 12 months.
