    Then he went 12 rounds with the best fighter in the world and got an easy 4th round KO in his last fight.

    I don't see how losing two decisons against arguably the number 1 and number 2 p4p fighters on the planet makes him 'shot'

    Passed his best maybe, but he's still a force to be reckoned with and it would be a HUGE victory for Khan if he pulls it off.

    The kid gets so much criticism but he's only 21 and is already facing a legend like Barrera, and so soon after getting brutally KO'd.

    You have to admire him, the lad has some balls on him.
    I still maintain that had the KD been scored, then that was a clear Barrera win. Even without the KD Barrera was right there with Marquez. The Pac fight was disappointing because it really seemed that Pac was not quite at his best and that there were opportunities there if Barrera had pushed that bit more.

    It is a huge risk for Khan, and Im still a little surprised he's stepped up to this so soon. His career will look all Audley Harrison-esque if Barrera stops him...as he very well may do.

    Very true.

    There's a world of difference between a "shot" fighter and one that's past their best.

    Barrera hasn't been getting outclassed or battered. He's just old.

    Even with the natural size disadvantage, if he turns up to win he's the favourite without doubt. Not sure what his motivation is though.. obviously getting a tidy payday.

    I voted Barrera - not overly keen on Khan. I think Warren is hoping for a Ricky/Koztya type scenario for Khan but I don't think that will happen....

    Barrera...But then again IMO Barrera should stay away from boxing...If he wins it will only mean him ending up in an embaressing loss not far down the road

    True mate, it happens to all fighters who carry on fighting late in their careers. I just don't want that loss to be to Khan, I don't think Khan will ever beat a half decent fighter in his prime.

    I am still in reserve about Khan...Not sure if it is the Warren attachment that I may give him more leeway for then he deserves but I will say this....

    In his prime Khan could not wipe Marco Antonio Barreras Ass

    I will be backing Barrera

    Undecided on what will happen as I have said - how much has he left in the tank is what it comes down to.

    He could get old and go out on his stool around the 9th
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
