If Barrett loses to Tye Fields he was paid off...

I dont care Tye Fields is a joke. Barrett should murder him if he is half the fighter he beat Page and Witherspoon.

Monte will defeat Fields no problem.

But you're right, if he doesn't it means he's been paid off - but I believe Monte has too much class to accept a bribe so it won't happen.

It's weird to think that his two in a row wins over Dominick Guinn and Owen Beck were enough to catapult him over his former conqueror Wladimir Klitschko in Ring Magazine's ratings at one point.

Barrett has a hard time with bigger fighters like Valuev and Klitschko, he couldn't deal with the size difference and in both fights didn't really seem to have a game plan. Then he let his friendship get in the way during the Barrett fight and has been through a lot of wars. I'd say Barrett is a good enough calculated gamble for Top Rank, he's a name fighter clearly on the slide who saw an opportunity in it for himself as well.

I'd go with Fields just because the momentum in his career is for him, but Barrett has fought well with guys who would KO Fields.

I don't think Barret will lose.

tye fields once tried to squash an ant with a punch and in the process he broke all 4 of his knuckles on his left hand and the ant walked away without even a scratch. the ant still didn't get respect from its peers cuz they knew tye fields is a joke.true story.

Just two things about this post, how would you know someone is unwilling to accept a bribe? I am by no means saying Barrett would ever, but I've been shocked by charges levied against other fighters in the past. Unless you know a guy, you don't really know a guy.

And two, why is the only way Fields could win this fight is if Barrett throws it? I think Fields can win just on size alone. Not saying he's amazing or that his size would be overwhelming for other ranked heavyweights, but Fields has the kind of opponent in Barrett who might be ready for picking. Don't forget, just a year ago Barrett was taken out in two rounds by Cliff Couser.

It really wasn't that funny man, in fact it was pretty lame.
