    Fair enough, but Eubank was shot to bits and was no longer considered a real contender mate then mate.
    He was 2-3 going into that bout from his last 5 bouts, and his next 2 bouts he lost.
    OK, Barrera is passed his prime too, but Barrera at 34 can still mix it with some of the best, and imo, is a x100 bigger threat than Eubank was when facing Calzaghe.
    to say barrera is 100 times bigger threat than eubank is a "slight" exageration
    Eubank was past his best admittadly (due to him crippling the unfortunate micheal watson) although eubank had lost his killer instinct(ie collins 1) he was still a world class operator!he was unlucky not to get the decision against collins 1 & was unlucky not to get the decision against thompson !(at cruiserweight for the wbo title) (im not a big joe fan btw) i rank this as calzaghes biggest win(because i rank eubank so highly)(collins retired to avoid the fight!)
    depite this i still think that barrera is not a shot fighter! he went the distance with marquez& pacquio less than 2 years ago and is only 34/5
    mosely is 37,hopkins is 44,vitali is 37,calzaghe is 36,glen johnson is 40+,tarver is 40!
    barrera is still relativly young!
    big test for kahn but if he pulls it off(which i think he will by UD)he will be in line for a world title shot(against campbell/funeka)

        I got Khan by stoppage. People might think I'm crazy but I really don't think Barrera will be able to deal with Khan's lightning offense.

        Yeah. If Barrera times and lands a shot, he can wipe Khan out. But most likely scenario for me is Khan by late stoppage. In a nod to Pacquiao's late stoppage of Barrera
