Khan vs. Barrera - Warren Responds To King's Complaint

[Joe2608]

Make the rematch then we can finally see that Barrera is not on the same level and should retire finally.

Regardless of what the khan haters keep saying, a re-match would be no different. It would be 12-round shut out. Although barrera had a terrible cut he didn't even show a glimpse of possibly winning the fight.

Nor did Frazier in the first round of the first fight with Ali. Nor did Marciano in the first round of the first fight with Walcott. To claim to be so certain that you can tell from the first round what would have happened over 12 rounds, when Khan has never been tested under pressure for 12 rounds, is ignorant. If you're so confident Khan would win a rematch you should be calling for it; the only reason for not wanting it is that you're worried he might lose. It would be a good test for Khan at this point in his career, and it should have been a no contest, so Barrera deserves a rematch.

IN all seriousness, who actually wants to see a re-match?

Given that we only saw a fair fight for less than a round, you may as well say "in all seriousness, who wanted to see their first fight"?

This.

When people say "he would've won anyway" cause Khan was winning in the first round", it just goes to show that they really don't know a whole lot about boxing.

Anything could happen at any time.

NOTHING is guaranteed.

Boxers know this, which is why they train so hard, because they know that only their hard work and fate being on their side will give them the W.

Take away the fate being on their side, while keeping the hard work, and they could still end up losing.

Predicting exactly how a match will end without a factor so serious as a bone deep gash, while speculating the outcome of 11 rounds based from under two minutes of a fight between two fighters with their vision is just plain ******.

Add Khans questionable chin to the equation, and ****** speculation becomes plain ******edness.

Long story short:

-claiming to know how a fight will turn out with so many large contibuting factors involved = Fail.
