POLL: Barrera SHOT or NOT?

Is Barrera shot? If Khan go's out there tonight and destroys him like i think he will everyone will say oh Marco was shot Khan still sux ass blah blah blah I dont think he is, i think he has DEFO slipped a bit at 35 and at LW but three fights ago he had Marquez on his ass on route to a decision loss and also not long ago went 12 with Pac (*1 and 2 in the p4p ranks no less) His comeback has been at LW against bums but it will have gave him a feel for the weight at least. But Khan will be Too Big Too Fresh Too Fast and snappy for Barrera at this point, he aint shot but i make him like 65% of what he was

He has the hunger and desire to fight, usually once this is gone they are shot... might explain DLH. Bernard still has a point to prove and thats why he is not shot imo.

Good point, especially for the jmm huggers who says that mab was shot the 2nd time pac beat him but a great performance and equally good boxers when jmm fought mab. lol that thing always makes me laugh. Mab is not in his prime form surely but not shot. Barrera can give Khan a hell of a fight if he will become careless...

Say that he is close to his prime and weighed 135, I think he would have blown those guys out easy, the Barrera I've seen lately is nowhere near as good as he once was, weight can only affect you so much. you can't make that claim with any certainty... there's a reason there are weight divisions.

I don’t think MAB is shot (tonight might prove me wrong, I’m hoping not) but he’s not what he once was. Shot to me was Gatti in the Gomez fight or Morales in the third Pacquiao fight (I’m not questioning his heart he just looked a shadow of him former self).

Other than his chin his attributes are spectacular. Guy has EVERYTHING but chin, Sharp power, Lightning fast hand speed, quality footwork, breathe taking combos, 1st class stamina a big heart and huge ambition

After this fight he'll be considered officially shot.

I don't hate him, but I can easily see he's FAR from being the real deal. Other than his chin his attributes are spectacular.

Even a shot Barerra will have a good chance of KOing a bum like Khan. So you're a Khan hater now?

prime barrera was at 126 tho Say that he is close to his prime and weighed 135, I think he would have blown those guys out easy, the Barrera I've seen lately is nowhere near as good as he once was, weight can only affect you so much.

The weight has something to do with it but a near prime Barrera at 135 would have put Rojas and Ventura away easily. prime barrera was at 126 tho

The guy is past it but not shot. Shot = Earl, Jones, Holyfield, Rahman A guy can be less of a fighter than he was without being shot, like u say Roy Jones is shot! Tyson at the end was shot, Toney looks to me as if he is shot too The poll is tight but about three more votes going for NOT shot. Barrera might be shot after tonight but it will be Khan who Shot him! Also its a fair point some have made that a guy at Barreras point can become shot overnight, sucks tho as Khan wont get credit whatever happens

he's not shot nor is he way past his best, but he is fighting far from his best weight division. The weight has something to do with it but a near prime Barrera at 135 would have put Rojas and Ventura away easily.

I don't think he's shot but these things can literally change overnight. His performances of late have been up and down however there was more than enough in the performances against Marquez and Pacquiao to suggest he could give Khan problems which is why I'm tipping him to secure the knockout.

..........and fighting out of his weight division against a guy who should probably be fighting at 140.
