    I'm not sure how much credit I'd give Freddie if Khan beats Barrera.

    Barrera is past prime, Khan is much younger, much more active, and a much bigger man being the natural in the weightclass.

    I'm hopeful that Barrera will pull it off, but if he doesn't, I'll give Roach some credit. Just not all of the credit, like most probably will.

      Me too.I think he trained Vasquez against Larios too anyway if it was supposed to mean from young raw prospect to an elite i dont think he has anyone besides Manny.I remember him saying he really doesnt consider himself a "teacher" or "mentor" with regards with toney, james being naturally gifted and all.

        Certain things Freddie does/says, just piss me off.

        Going public about Tyson's affairs was the latest.

        Him saying what he said about Hopkins pissed me off too. That because Hopkins went to the wrong corner a few times something was wrong with him.

        His disrespect of Floyd was another thing. Everybody knows the man is retired, but he can't keep Floyd's name out of his mouth.

        They're all little things, but they all add up and it just irritates me.

          You can see it in his eyes/facial gestures. He's got no worries about this fight.
          Barreras making excuses again, hes only 35 years old.

                I have a feeling that Vela is going to come to the fight if he doesnt have a match with Arsenal

                    good future and could be the best Mexican footballer if he progressive.

                    But now Arsenal has a weird mix it was first mostly frenchmen but now with the Mexican playing in England it a rare mix into it espeically with Arsenal.

                    There are more latino footballers playing in England
