Joe Calzaghe: "Barrera, A Massive Test For Amir Khan"

[MissDeeCole]

Most of the boxing world want to see Barrera beat Khans ass.

why???????

[S A M U R A I]

If the discussion is about Pacman, Barrera is a washed-up, past-his-prime fighter, but when you talk about Amir Khan, you paint Barrera as if he's still the Barrera that whooped Hamed's ass. Friggin' double standard

Nobody has painted MAB like he's in his prime. People are balancing this up with Khan's relative green-ness and young age vs. Barrera's vast experience and boxing ability. We're saying IF Barrera has enough in the tank (clearly acknowledging that he is past prime) then he can probably beat Khan.

Even though i can care less about Khan i hope barrera loses. He does ****** **** in and out of the ring and i wanna see him lose.
His last fight was a disgrace and now he's fightin a ****en prospect who's record is 19-1... and if by some miracle Khan pot shots Barrera for 12 rounds and gets a decision i will always rub it in fans of MAB..Based on opposition fought and especially defeated barrera should NOT be ahead of Morales in the ATG listings and if khan somehow pulled of some sort of win barrera fans will never hear the end of from me..If Roy Jones legacy diminished cause of his losses after tarver 1 then so will Barrera's if he loses to this ****en prospect..

Dude, he's making a comeback to the sport at 35 years of age, after a layoff of almost 1 year. Is he not entitled to a tune up fight or two to get his bearings back? Should he just jump right in the ring with Pacquiao, Marquez, or Campbell?

Oh, so that's what this is, eh? You're a Morales fan. That's cool, I love Erik too, I have tremendous respect for both guys, and all 3 of their fights were very close, highly entertaining, highly competitive matches that live in boxing history as one of the greatest trilogies of all time.

I never understood why people always felt the need to choose one over the other, I guess it's that rivalry aspect. But without Barrera, Morales would not be as great as he is, and vice versa. They helped make each other legends.

Respect should be given to both fighters, not just your favorite.

If Roy Jones legacy diminished cause of his losses after tarver 1 then so will Barrera's if he loses to this ****en prospect..

Roy's legacy has not diminished one bit since losing to Tarver, he got old, played with his weight too much, and it caught up to him. Barrera's legacy will remain firmly intact as well, win, lose, or draw, against Khan.

I want Khan to win, but I would think you are correct. MAB is very well respected within the boxing world and would not want him to lose to what some may call an "upstart".

****ing hell, give amir a chance.. you'll see hes a quality fighter and the prescott fight was due to a number of factors.. people who know boxing will know amir khans got a massive chance

[JuanDan]

(quote Trainhard 187) If Khan is trying to prove anything at lightweight I would suggest options like Valero, Guzman, Katsidas, or the winner of Diaz-Marquez,
you must be joking right! Khan is not in the same class as these guys you mention, who has Khan fought?, besides bums, this is bull ****, Khan is all about hype, he hasn't even beaten the best of the UK fighter's, Frank Warren won't put him in with any one his own size and who can punch, look back on Khan fights, Khan is always the bigger man up until he fought Prescott, The manner in which Prescott dismantled Khan was just to emphatic. It will be surprising if Khan reaches any great heights in the boxing world

[Mayfeather]

Khan will lose this fight big time

amir khan

Have to agree with sparked-cold, khan's loss was due to several factors, three of them being two terrific left hands, and a glass jaw.
