Should Don King have done more for Barrera?

[big paulie]

King has always been a scumbag,but in reality there is very little he could have done.I have just heard its taken 30 stitches,so thats at least 6 months to heal.I hope they can make the rematch then.

Marco will be 6 months older and realistically at age 35 this is his last year in the sport. If Marco really wants it and has a good camp i still think he beats Khan

The real question is, what the hell was going on at GBP that made Barrera run into the arms of...Don King?

Things that make you go hmm.

mab wanted dates and had to compete with too many gbp stablemates probably.

So he goes to Don King?? Come on, man. That would make sense if Barrera was a fighter on GBP...he was a boss just like the rest of them (Shane, Bernard, etc). That's a party line you're spitting; something went down - or something's going down that Barrera wanted nothing to do with.

I dont know,Its much harder for the guys in the lighter divisions to keep fighting at a high level into their mid thirties as its all about speed and stamina,Khan will have improved by then as well.He will still be a tough opponent though.

I agree, he was on to a good thing with GBP, it all seemed a bit hush-hush to me

King obviously isn't what he once was.

Well HBO has a lot to do with that.
