Khan >Barrera
Calzaghe>Hopkins,Jones
Hatton>Tszyu,Castillo

Majority of these fights would go the other way if they had happened 6/7 years earlier.

Beating Barrera won't make him HOF. He still has to go win world titles and prove he can hang with the big guns.

Khan beating Barrera will prove nothing

it's equivalent, no, WORSE than Calzaghe's win over Jones or Hatton's win over Castillo

I dont think its as bad as Joe's win over Jones.

Barrera did not look shot against Pacquiao 2,JMM,Ventura,Juarez 1,2 he just looked past his best, allthough he has been inactive granted.

Jones career was over in 2004.

All the way up until this point people have been complaining how Khan has only been fighting bums, Barrera is a HUGE step up in class, even if he perhaps hasnt got the stamina or speed anymore, he has the wealth of ring experience, a rediculously durable granite chin and knockout power etc. It wasnt that long ago that he took the current P4P number one and JMM full 12 rounds.

A year ago, people pretty much already knew the outcome of Khans fights, now against barrera its generally split 50/50 on who will win.

Khan's given us what we want, a step up in class. Give him a break

If Khan was a champion and he took barrera as a title defense instead of a young good mandatory then it would be a different story. But this is the second fight after his first defeat.

Barrera was picked by Warren if it was such a dangerous fight for Khan it would not be happening.

Barrera's inactivity is a HUGE factor and he is not a LW.

When was JMM p4p number 1?

The fight its more 60/40 it favours Khan imo.

also let me add... Khan winning this fight well WILL prove something.

It will prove that his defense has gotten better because if a slightly past it HoF Barrera can't knock him down/out, when a shot Gomez, 'bums' like willie limond etc have knocked him down before, then yeah... that shows improvement doesnt it?

What does Barrera gain from beating Khan? vice versa its a completely different story.
