IF Khan beats Barrera will Boxingscene Respect Him?

[Spacey1991]

I will respect him more, but to a limit... I wouldn't go jumping on the bandwagon or anything I will just give him credit for his performance.

[S.G.]

If he wins by KO. Not a cheap ref stoppage, bleeding, corner throwing the towel, or barrera saying no mas. By a clear KTFO or a mosley-margarito performance.

Anything less than that then nope.

Wouldn't that just be more of an indication that Barrera is shot though?

If Khan manages to defeat Barrera this Saturday will the Boxingscene community respect him or give him credit? Or will they say It's no big deal because Barrera is old or whatever? Does it matter how Khan wins? I want your views!

khan will get some credit for not getting KTFO but not that much credit

[T-97]

Nope. Most people will just claim Barrera was shot and/or washed up.

Because isn't that the only way Khan could possibly win?

There aren't enough options in this poll.

My point in this thread is just to see if people will give him credit if he puts on a good performance against Barrera and wins the fight. I'm not saying we'll jump on any Khan bandwagon proclaiming him the greatest or anything of that nonsense! I think if Khan can win and win impressively then it gives him some credibility although Barrera is past his prime. I still think Barrera has some fuel in the tank BTW! If Khan can win he can start looking for the top guys in this division!

The people that give Khan no respect for this win are absolutely clueless, and pretty pathetic individuals, who live sad lives.

Barrera is not what he was, but he is a massive step up for Khan. He has a big chance of losing this fight, and if he does his career is over at the top. That deserves respect.

Haha, never thought of it like that. Its a no win situation for Khan then.

I agree with you there!
