    The thing is pride is what keeps MAB going, he should of retired 2 years ago. If Khan makes MAB look real bad then its not Khan's fault, Old fighters never know when to quit just like Holyfield, RJJ.

    You taking the ****, iam 26, i was little kid when Holyfield pre Tyson fights took place. But I did see both Tyson and Holyfield fights when the ear chewing took place :|. Plus Holyfield is too boring for me.

    So was I, In fact when my favourite ever fighter was active (Joe Louis) I wasn't even born. Which is kind of the point i'm making... You not really in a great position to comment on his abilities if you don't know the game properly are you?

    Just seem to be over run with muppets recently... Its ok been new to the sport and contributing to a forum so long as your willing to take on board whats been said. When your new and come on here speaking like you already know it just makes you look a ****.

    :D

    Don't hate him at all, I've never met, spoken to or corresponded with the guy. Why should I hate him? That's a really childish line in argument. I don't think he is or ever will be world class so I have to hate him? I just don't buy the media crap. He doesn't have power or a chin and you can't get away with having neither. I'm not a fan of course, I don't particularly care for novices getting the silver spoon treatment though, winning a medal means very little in this day and age, amateur boxing was ruined by the change in scoring system. In his defence he's fast as **** and can put his punches together. "Barrera hasn't exactly been a KO machine the last few years, even taking into account the level of comp. And I'm finding it hard to remember many one punch KO's from him in the last ten years." I could say the same thing about Willie Limond though.

    I wasn't referring to punch resistance, I was talking about punch power.

    Try and convince me that Barrera is the bigger puncher in this fight.

    If you're gonna quote me and have a dig about my original analysis, you should at least stick to the subject being discussed (ie: punch power); get back to me.

    I started watching boxing when Iron Mike Tyson took to the stage late 80's early 90's , you see I only like fighters with either great power or great speed.

    Fighters I like

    Tyson (speed and power)
    Nassem Hamed (speed and power)
    RJJ ( Speed and power)
    Mayweather Jr ( Speed underrated power)
    Pacman ( Speed and great work rate)
    Amir Khan (Speed)
    Berto (Speed and Power)

    I only like exciting fighters, otherwise I get bored. Plus i dont care what you know about boxing.

    Don't let the boxing 'experts' know that, surely they are the only ones who can comment on the sport.
