Amir Khan Vows To Outbox, Beat Marco Antonio Barrera

[Dave Rado]

Lol...im sorry,but beating an old barrera does nothing for khan ... lets not forget barrera is not a natural lightweight,

It tells us nothing about Khan's ability, but it does a great deal for Khan's marketabiolity, because Barrera is still a big name.

but if barrera beats him ... he will be beating a guy many englishmen think is a god

Very few think that, if any. Most view him as a very exciting young prospect who has flaws - which he is. Roach wouldn't have taken him on if he didn't genuinely believe he could take him to the top.

Basically, a lot of people thought all the hype around Khan was undeserved, and... that proved it true.

So do you think all the hype around Freddie Roach is undeserved?

This statement is encouraging from Khan -

"For the last 20 fights I have not been tested. I have been using my heart to win fights. This time I'm going to use my brain"

Good to hear.

Embedded interview with Khan about the fight

Crap interviewer IMO - either she knows nothing about boxing or she was told to hype this fight. Khan must know deep down that the match against Barrera was made because Warren believes Barrera is a shell of the great fighter he once was, plus he's not a true lightweight. Pretending otherwise, as the interviewer did, is just ******.

not like they didn't have any flaws at all! they all had some flaws. amir's flaw is his chin. no fighter is perfect.

You call that just a flaw. Wow, you have taken nutthugging to another level.

Roach does not say what he says because he gets paid to say it, he's probably the most genuine and honest man in boxing. That statement is just ignorant.
