Kahn v Barrera???

[bzkfn]

I'm in Khan's corner too Bilbo

Yeah go Big H, ok so that's 4 seats covered now. Anyone else going to join us?

Bilbo I'm with ya. If it stops Barrera's 4 weight world title train I'm game. I'm still pissed Morales didn't get that recognition, and I've always found Barrera a bit of an arrogant prick at times. I actually think this is a superb fight, but I go for Khan to stop him...and I know I'm in the minority, and I can't believe I'm saying that since I was at the fucking Prescott fight.

After the last couple of shit PPV's they probably had to do something like this.

The bookies certainly aren't taking no chances on Barrera. I was hoping they'd underestimate the old boy

Still wont bank on this happening until they've weighed in.

Very suprised at them odds aswell mate, i was thinking they were going to underestimate MAB, but after looking at them odds i think Kahn is the value bet!!

Barrera mops the floor with Khan.

[C-Lo]

I've always thought Barrera wasn't as "shot" as people kept saying. He has a lot left in the tank to put on a good show against Khan. I think it's a winnable fight for both. If Khan uses his height, speed, and distance I can see him taking the fight but if Barrera can use his heart, land some good shots, I can see him taking Khan out of there.

Khan cannot afford to lose this fight. Having two loses in a shot time period may take him off the face of the boxing world.

Sometimes I just don't understand this forum.. you slag off Khan for fighting no names then when he decides to step it up you still bash him? ffs. Then again it happens alot on this forum, pac got shit for wanting to face oscar, Haye is getting shit for wanting to face vitali/wlad..

But on the flipside this forum also has a very bad prediction record.. most said cotto would beat margarito, most said pavlik would destroy hopkins, and most said oscar would bully pac man around the ring like silly - and we all know what happened in these fights.

Cotto/Margarito was a toss up fight so that's the closest point to your argument.

Pavlik destroying Hopkins and De La Hoya bullying Pacqiuao wasn't only greatly predicted by this forum, the whole boxing world thought the same thing. So if this forum was wrong in those fights, everyone else was wrong with us, that's why both fight's results were listed as upsets...

Barrera looked abit soft in his last fight in China and entered the ring as a light welterweight. To be fair his muscle tone didnt look good vs Pac or Marquez either , he had abit of a worn out look about him.

When you consider Barrera made his debut in 1989 at a much lower weight and now two decades on he is fighting a young a very large olympic silver medallist at lightweight, then its fair to assume that the odds are stacked against him in that respect. He only went through the motions in his last fight so it is hard to tell what he has left.

Im almost certain that Barrera carries the power to stop Amir . Alot of people doubt he has this natural strength and punch power moving up to lightweight but Khan has been floored by limond and Gomez so a quick, correct and accurate puncher like Barrera can defo floor him. Pacs speed and size though will cause him problems . I can see Marco getting flustered and maybe abit overwhelmed by the younger bigger fresher man particulary if it goes late. If khan gets carried away though and stays in punching range Barrera will certainly test his defence.

Over all a good fight for both men to take. Warren may know something we dont about what Barrera has left cuz this appears like a tough fight . From what I can see it all comes down to class. Khan has the timing right and if he is ever gonna beat Marco its now but the classier skills of the Mexican make him a favourite in my book.

Well this is set for March so is it a Prescott all over again or is it them taking him on at right time.

[Mark TKO]

Sorry not read all the thread as currently in Philadelphia on holiday. Got a text from Taansend this morning telling me about this. Was stunned at first but the more you think about it the more it makes sense !

Win and he's right back in the mix at the top - lose heavily however and it's a career ender I reckon. AND they can now sell this on box office !

Not sure how much MAB has left in the tank so at moment it's a pick 'em for me. MAB is not a one punch KO man so it may be that Khan has a chance if he gets past 6th.

Anyway - looking forward to it !

Any ticket news please PM me as may not get a chance to check net again for few days.cheers

Count me in, I think Don and Frank are upto somthing, Marcos to small and has to many miles on the clock to complete this mission. Barrera is one of my favourites of all time, I just dont think he has it anymore.

[sanchez786]

MAB maybe my favorite fighter of all time if he could beat Amir Khan, then he would of beaten both Amir Khan, Naseem Hamed. I would love that to happen COME ON MAB.

I'm just curious...why did you mention Hamed as well as in 'he would of beaten both Amir Khan, Naseem Hamed'

Because there both arrogant morons.

LOL...I don't beleive that's the reason at all but anyhow...continue on

[Violent Demise]

Blimey, that's taking a chance isn't it? Even though Khan will be much bigger (Barrera looked like a little fat man last time out) Barrera is still active.

Even if it's officially announced, expect Barrera to mysteriously pull out one week before, to be replaced by obscure, no-name, unbeaten fighter from the South Pacific.

Who in turns goes about and knocks Con out. Yeah I can see that situation taking place as well

What other reason did you think it was ?

I suggest you stop following VD's posts, mate.

Hope this helps.

[Drago]

when i first saw the heading that khan was to face barrera on the bbc website i thought maybe sparring or something, but i was shoked to say the least this is what us fans want! barrera is a legend & i see him beating khan but if that happens so what, khan will of faced one of the greats & push on for more mega fights!

really hope its at the MEN arena

[Memphis]

So it will just be me and CFH sitting in the Khan section then

I want Amir to win this one in style, he's not deserving of all the hate he gets.

He's a well spoken, polite young man who has goals and ambitions and isn't afraid to take a risk to try and achieve those goals.

Shame on ICB for wanting to see him smashed as he represents someone with the same mindset as you.

He doesn't drink, he doesn't believe in sleeping around with lots of random women, his family is everything to him and he has a dream to be a world champ just like you have a dream to make the 2012 Olympics.

What exactly is it about him that makes you want to see him get smashed?

Well i certainly wouldn't run someone over then leave em there, he made that guys life a misery he was fucked for life so i heard. And its not only that i just don't like him he's an arrogant moron. And his claim of having 2 percent body fat, aswell as being able to beat Floyd Mayweather is just laughable. He's nothing like me at all he may have the same goals, but i would never make such foolish claims.

Hamed ran the fella over and tried to do a runner not Khan. As for the Mayweatehr thing Im sure he said that he fancied his chances in a four rounder. No idea what the body fat commecnt was. You of all people should understand a young man saying things and claiming things that arent actually true.

Im certainly backing Khan. I want him to progress and achieve something in this sport. even if that wasnt the case he's an Englishman taking on a foreigner, thats all it takes to get my backing. Thats the way it should be for everyone as far as Im concerned.
