khan v Barrera rematch poll

No disrespect intended, but I hate this cliché. For me, it's not the fact that he beat a one-eyed, ancient fighter, nor is it the fact that he might have still won even if the cut hadn't occurred, it's how he boasted to the press afterward about "proving everybody wrong", gloating about his "win". Anyone who isn't biased can see he about performing in England again. The only way I would be prepared to do such a thing is if I could call the shots, choose the referee and judges, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think Barrera is in any kind of position to do this. As a boxing fan and a long-time Barrera fan, I do not appreciate how he was used as fodder for a young, up-and-coming prospect to feast on in order to build a name for himself. It's a meaningless "win" and it hasn't gained Khan any respect. As for Khan the boxer, no doubt he has talent, but in my opinion, people are putting way too much stock into someone who lacks one absolutely crucial ingredient -- a chin. I have no doubt that he will be knocked out by any decent lightweight pretty much as quickly as he is being hyped by the media and casual fans of the sport. Not a hate post. Just callng it how I see it. I don't think you are giving the kid a fair crack of the whip. Let us not forget that on the night of the fight Khan was no better than even money to win. Several bookmakers actually had Barerra as favourite. For an up-and-coming fighter on home soil those odds are pretty astonishing. And it wasn't just the bookies who were sceptical. Many journalists didn't fancy his chances either. Practically no one in here thought he had a prayer. With the above in mind I think he has *every right* to claim he proved a few people wrong. Barerra was a good opponent for someone at Khan's stage of development. I'm not going to suggest he was anywhere near the peak of his abilities. That would be stupid. But he did retain a massive area of advantage that Khan couldn't similarly call upon: experience. Experience counts for a hell of a lot in a boxing ring. Especially top-level experience in the face of someone who has little of such. I'm not going to get involved in a long and tedious debate over the fairness of boxing officials in Britain or any other country. Bad decisions happen - everywhere.

If there was a rematch i have got Khan by late stoppage. Khan would adopt his strategy of keeping on the move and hitting, eventually wearing down Barrera. Khan would just have to worry about not getting too cocky late on and thinking he could trade with Barrera.

I feel with or without the cut Khan is simply too big and too fast for Barrera at this stage. Without the cut though it would of increased Barreras chances in the fight.

A re match would be good for both their sakes, there's no reason for it not too happen. It either proves Kahn is back and he'd go into the fight full of confidence or it will let Barrera get some of his pride back and prove that the first fight was decided unfairly.

Im the biggest MAB fan you will meet, but **** no it shouldnt be done again. I was pissed that they did it the first time. RETIRE!!!!!!!!

You can only beat what's put in front of you. No disrespect intended, but I hate this cliché. For me, it's not the fact that he beat a one-eyed, ancient fighter, nor is it the fact that he might have still won even if the cut hadn't occurred, it's how he boasted to the press afterward about "proving everybody wrong", gloating about his "win". Anyone who isn't biased can see he didn't prove anything that we didn't already know, and this "win" is nothing to be proud of. It was merely a cheap way of stamping a big name onto Khan's lackluster resume in an attempt to salvage a career that was dwindling due to being laid out in 54 seconds (including the time he spent on the canvas) by an unknown Columbian who, foolishly, was mistakenly fed to him as another tomato can that he could blow out. Barrera deserves a rematch. That's if he asks for one, which I'm not sure he even will, because personally, if I was Marco, I would have second thoughts about performing in England again. The only way I would be prepared to do such a thing is if I could call the shots, choose the referee and judges, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think Barrera is in any kind of position to do this.

Are you kidding me? They were no worse than what Khan was doing to Barrera. Thats complete drivel. Show me any part of the fight where Barrera got rocked. No need for me to post, the two vids of Khan have already been posted. Khan did not even look close to being hurt. Yeah he never looked like he was hurt, but his reaction to the two shots was still there for all to see.

Why? The same thing would probably happen (aside from the Cut). Barrera would struggle to get on to the inside, and is way to slow for Khan. made Khans body look like he had an electric shock going through his body! Are you kidding me? They were no worse than what Khan was doing to Barrera. Khan did not even look close to being hurt.

He can't beat him to the punch. He can't outwork him. In the last fight he looked a clear weight division smaller than him. I agree, although what you failed to mention is, the two clean punches that Barrera nailed him with, made Khans body look like he had an electric shock going through his body!

maybe but i wouldn't be buying the PPV i've been ripped off paying for Khan's bullshit fights enough times

if mab can get a title shot then he should go for that. i dont think he will be looking for a rematch against khan, and he will excuse himself by saying that they robbed him of a NC. yeah id be happy if he got a title shot, im sure he will get one, still to see the truth of the outcome wih khan is one i find intruiging still

How so, Khan didn't do shit until after he cut Barreras forehead from a headbutt How the fk was that a headbutt? your obviously completely biased, they both went for a punch leaning in and clashed heads in the middle, barrera just came off alot worse and then he starting dominating a one-eyed fighter. You clearly aren't a boxer, because you need both your eyes to avoid punches and so on. Fighting a one-eyed boxer is not impressive. What did u want khan to do...refuse to fight just because barrera is a legend? if no one stops the fight you gotta carry on. And anyway they clashed heads so early how could you say he only started dominating after the clashed....its obvious after a few more rounds khan would of started to dominate anyway, hes got way to much energy for barrera to handle

lol why is this even an issue? Barrera should have retired four years ago.

How so, Khan didn't do shit until after he cut Barreras forehead from a headbutt Headbutt my arse. Have even watched the fight? How do you headbutt someone with the side of your head? Even an idiot can see it was an accidental clash of heads. ... and then he starting dominating a one-eyed fighter. You clearly aren't a boxer, because you need both your eyes to avoid punches and so on. Fighting a one-eyed boxer is not impressive. You can only beat what's put in front of you. And that's what Khan did. Barerra must have known from at least round two that there was a danger the fight could be stopped. He had plenty of time to mount several death-or-glory attacks. I counted one and Khan was never in any serious trouble. The truth is Barerra is finished. Kaput.

That fight was a disgrace to boxing, because in America that crap would have been stopped after the first round. I reckon this time was the exception to the rule, if Im not mistaken American boxing is much more lenient on cuts compared to british boxing

With or without a cut - Barerra has no business being in the ring with Khan.

i will tell you what an interesting rematch would be khan vs presscott for an eliminator for a title shot... would be an intresting rematch, well no it wouldnt it would be funny cos he would knock khan out even faster, but neither deserve a title shot yet, you can justify MAB getting a title shot coz he is a legend.

With or without a cut - Barerra has no business being in the ring with Khan. He can't beat him to the punch. He can't outwork him. In the last fight he looked a clear weight division smaller than him. A rematch would only further tarnish Barerra's formerly glittering career. The only decision he needs to make is retirement. he definetly isnt retiring
