(current)Marco Antonio Barrera vs Amir Khan?

[Pugilistic™]

but it'd be a close fight

If Barrera is anything like he was against Marquez he would stop Khan.

Khan just can't take good punches.

[RL_GMA]

LOL...are these posters REALLY serious?

Khan maybe won't get KO'd in the 1st round, but he'd definitely get handed a 1st class ass whippin.

Khan is a joke...

[FrankJack]

Based off of Barrera's last two performances, I don't give Khan any chance against Barrera. Barrera gave Marquez, a current top 5 lb for lber, a great fight that I personally think he won.

Barrera has yet to show me that he's a shot fighter. Aside from the 2nd Pacquiao fight, where he didn't even seem to want to try and win, he gave great performances against Marquez, and two against Rocky Juarez. He even ****** with Juarez in their bout.

But that's beside the point. I don't think that Khan can outbox Barrera and he def. can't **** with him.

[Zerwas1]

Barrera isn't even a real superfeatherweight but he still boxes Khan ears off, roughs him up and finds his wet paper chin

it aint khan love, its more like khan hate from most people - barerra is a good fight for khan stylisticly, not too powerfull, small and shot - its a reasonable realistic fight despite what the haters say

shot? I'll get into that in a bit

to me I dont see it as realistic simply because it appears to me that this Khanh kid has been rushed far too quickly and while the fact his natural talent has taken him this far says something about the kid especially facing the tough competition he has faced thus far the incline in experience this kid has faced was bound to catch up to him.

and shot

kind of amazing how you don't like the Khan criticism yet you have no problem blanketing Barrera with the same shortsighted criticisms. To say Barrera is shot after facing two of best pound for pound fighters back to back is wrong quite simply. Has he lost a step or two? of course but to hear you say it its like he is Gattin facing of all people Alfonso Gomez

half of you dont even know why your picking barerra, ""BECAUSE HES A LEGEND"" err err coz he beat Naz and naz would beat KHan

nah not at all. Barrera has one of the more educated jabs in the game. His inside work is still top notch and for someone who never had blazing footspeed he sure does have the ability to stay centered to his opponent without chasing. At some point the experience factor will kick in and its at that point we would see how Khan would get outclassed

no stop dismissing people so easily.

just because khan got knocked out by prescott!!!!!

no not at all BUT it's one thing to dazzle on the mitts or to dazzle against less than stellar opposition but now we have seen Khan dropped on his ass and stopped two fights in a row.

who probably hits as hard if not the hardest in the lightweight division........

exagerate much? prior to his fight with Khan had you even heard of Prescott? seeing as how he has only fought once outside of Colombia prior?

now hes a complete bum... i agree he is a hype job,

no he is not BUT he is not the darling everyone made him out to be. also, its not necessarily that he got knocked out but how he looked. Dude was literally out, twice, before he hit the canvas. That shows to me a disconnect from his bodily functions when he goes down. It's the same thing Vargas had when he went down where it took about two rounds for the effects to wear off. That doesn't bode well for an offensive minded fighter like Khan who will get into exchanges.

but i think hes got enough ability to handle a shot barerra

of course you do you're a fan of his. You prop his true value, lower Barrera's down and somewhere down the middle you have a competitive match up.

i aint completely ignorant to just write khan off as a bum with no talent, coz he aint

well since you addressed me where did I say he had no talent?

prescott was such a bad style for him, he was probably the worsr style khan could have had

if thats a bad style matchup then suffice to say Khan is going to be in a world of trouble because at those weights there are tons of guys from south american who if anything can crack and can wear down guys. Fernando Angulo comes to mind.

If you look at those punches again you'll see they were seriously wide wind up looping punches. A lot of guys will hit with power when they load up so much. Unfortunately it generally doesn't pay to throw such wide shots because elite boxers don't get hit with them. Mayorga can likely load up and hit harder than Oscar but we know how that ended.

Khan down in the 2nd, Gomez down in the 1st and 5th (I think).

But, I get what you mean. Limond and Gomez both dropped him, and Limond had my boy in all kinds of trouble. Both are shorter guys, not noted as punchers. Well, Gomez was in his best days at Featherweight but past prime and at Lightweight (For the first time) not so much. Barerra wins this imo, probably by TKO.

He would be able to expose flaws in Khans defense, mainly with the right hand. Khans chin wouldn't hold up, and he would take him out. Marco is not shot, he is just past his best.
