    hes a hell of lot more powerful than barrera

    u cant question someones heart when he gets up and carrys on firing after being put down

    marco doesnt have the youthful energy that khan has

    i never said barrera was shot and khan hasnt even reached his prime yet:nut

    Barrera is shot.

    Did people even watch his last fight? The guy was slow.

    Yes I saw it, Barrera still looked sharp and easily beat Sammy Ventura 4th round TKO. And 12 months ago he lost a competitive fight against Manny. Far from what you call a shot fighter.

    I'll be looking at Khan's face when they have a stare down at the weigh-in. Face to face with Marco Antonio Barrera, let's see if he truly is as confident as he paints himself to be.

    This fight tells me that Khan's people know he's a bust and are already gunning to cash out. Beating an ancient, blown up Barrera means nothing at this point, and if he loses, he's probably secured at least a mil ticket and can ride off into the sunset, or grab a domestic belt and defend it until he's 30.

    What a ****ing joke.

    In PHILLA's defense, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement (KOing Ventura) and how much of the Manny fight was MAB not being willing to engage?

    Like I said if MAB wants it, he'll get it against Khan. The question relies on whether he wants it or not.

    Very intelligent. Is it race or religion issue?

    the only reason if barrera loses is he is shot. if its an able barrera and with khan's chin. it could end of bloody.

    Roach on Barrera:

    "I know the style to beat him. I thought about how Pacquiao handled him in the past. I just put the pluses and minuses together and came to the conclusion that it’s a great fight for us and a very winnable fight.

    I can’t wait to start getting ready to the fight. We’re going to have a good training camp and I know the perfect sparring partners because I’ve faced him twice already with Manny Pacquiao and I faced him with Johnny Tapia as well.

    I know what type of styles he has trouble with and Amir’s going to be one of those styles. We’re going to have an A plan and a B plan incase he makes adjustments on us, I know Marco’s a very tough fighter but it’s our time."

    Roach ain't fighting Barrera, Amir is, and he does not have the capabilities of a Manny Pacquiao.

    manny pacqiuao had to go in looking for barrera as theres not much between their height, reach etc. Whereas amir khan is a big lightweight and therefore can fight on the outside and use his great jab. His hand speed in my opinion is slightly faster than pacmans (pacman has more power). I guarantee Barrera's featherwight power won't trouble khan.

    Khan win by tko within 6 rounds.
