Well said m8! i don't care how shot Barrera supposedly was, Khan fought a beautiful fight and boxed smart! it was a great night and i just keep hoping khan can go all the way for Britian and become one of the big stars of boxing.

Yeah, Khan had to do a job and he did it.

The negative views Khan has been receiving is sickening. I can't really be bothered with this site anymore. It proves how 99% of the internet population are dumb. It's bottom of the barrel stuff.

what headbutting someone. it was nothing special, he just beat up an old man. if he can do that to jmm then he has my respect. the only guy he fought that could fight back knocked him the **** out.

Khan boxed beautifully no doubt about that, I take no credit from him there... he shown to be the better fighter but that doesn't exclude the fact that the accidental headbutt took the shine off of things, it could/should have been stopped earlier and gone to a NC.

I will respect him when he beats a top 20 Lightweight.

Thats the basic minimum for any fighter to get my respect as a top fighter.

until then he's a prospect with a bad habit of fighting guys too small to beat him.

that said he looked very good last night before the headclash and after, the only negatives where his lack of power and his reaction to the one puch MAB did land, I will put that down to balance more than anything though as it had no lasting effects.

Everything else looked good, but then there has never been any issues over Khans Offencive abilities. His Jab was very good last night.

Khan looked good, but he would have looked good against a one eyed, slow Barrera at any stage in his career. I think the only way he will get most people's respect is if he rematches Prescott and wins.

Fair play to him for stepping up and fighting a world class fighter, but what did he prove?

Barrera had one eye lol

thats what hes gota do mate, and im sure he will.
He looked great last night imo, and if you ask me it looked like the same barrera who was fighting pacman and marquez year or two ago. Slower than than in his prime and boxing instead of slugging. Khans size and speed was used to great effect. Good on him

accidental headbutt or not its boxing...

Khan had to go in there and win and thats what he did what more do you want?

Khan has earned my respect
