I said it before it hurts your reputation to have to avenge a loss to cliff couser but with all the guys he fought before & after that fight he deserves a little respect.mesi,guinn,whitaker,wlad,Rahman...then besides the 2 couser fights he's fought the WBA champ(dropped him once),is about to fight tua,he fought 6'8 270 fields,7'0 320 valuev,270 solis,6'8 300+ Ustinov(who he went 12 terrible rounds with).he's 215-220,pushing 40 with average power & suspect chin....he's not exactly ducking anyone & is always giving up 50-100 pounds...tua is more his age & size but 1 left hook & it's goodnight...I respect Barrett & think others should too.
geezzz give monte Barrett a break!

[QUOTE=paulf;8135317]He's just a heavyweight opponent that gets paid to show up and lose. I'm sure he's made a living doing it, but I don't know how much respect he deserves from boxing fans.[/QU the guys beaten or fought several undefeated opponents & had 2 world title shots he wasn't always an opponent...I just see things differently.glen Johnson lost 12 fights but beat both tarver & jones.if a guy loses a few fights he's a bum according to so many on this site...it's a shame there are so many! If the klits lost once or twice I'm sure all their fans will jump off their bandwagon & on to the next flavor of the month prospect until he loses...Comment
