    Really? I've heard people knock the win, saying Barrera would have been fine if his corner hadn't of jumped in, and even that the corner only jumped in because the bell sounded, and not to stop the fight.

    This is true.

    He makes too many mistakes and his 'let's get ready to rumble' cry is not as good as it used to be, but he has a good voice.

    That's not controversial, that's just correct.

    Well after looking at the 5th round again I still believe that Barreras corner jumped in like that on purpose. Normally to end the round a cornerman just stays at the corner of the ring and brings out the stool, Barreras corner ran straight into the middle of the ring and at the fighters, I suspect it was to make sure that Barrera didnt take too much punishment at the rounds end and also to stop the referree from ending it.

    Barrerra looked out of it right before his corner jumped in, he was sagged back on the ropes and not throwing back at all, so I think of it as a ko.

    Khan has not improved under Roach still fights like an amateur. Pac and Martinez are both very overrated. Right opponents. Margarito beats Cotto loaded gloves or not. PW at 147 would give Floyd his toughest fight the one that turned up for Marg fight.

    I mean weight drained and all the same come forward fighters with little defence.

    Martinez hasn't beat an elite fighter yet hes top 4 p4p.

    Agree with this, i've been saying it for a while. He's improved in the last showing but he still works with the straight fast shots to the head, can't properly hook or uppercut and fight inside. He can improve still though and his speed helps him stay safe.
