    Why would you want such a thing?

    Barrera is a great - or was a great fighter. Seeing him KO'd and destroyed because he was fighting well beyond his best would be sad.

    Even more so when its against a guy that hasn't even worked his way up the ladder.

    Even as a non-Kahn fan its very easy to make a case for Khan having a great chance to win this. I bet his fans will think Khan is in for an easy night.

    Isn't MAB a break from the norm in this respect, a guy who comes from "respectable" middle-class Mexican stock and studied to be a lawyer.

    But **** the nitpicking............COME ON MARCO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But what about all those top-class Bogota taxi drivers Prescott KO'd before he got in the ring with Khan; thats some damn good pedigree right there;)

    Simply because I like Khans speed punching style and would like to see the underdog win.
    Especially after all the glass jaw **** he gets, he's got good skills and is as dedicated as any other top boxer.
    There seems to be an underlying negativity to Khan, it's the hype many say.

    Bull**** every fighter gets that hype until they get beat.

    Barrera wants the fight, he thinks Khans vunerable, he thinks he can beat him.Good

    I hope Khan wins and pisses of his haters one more bit

    He is indeed a qualified lawyer and JMM is a qualified account.

    Barrera is from a a middle class mexico city family while morales is from a poor tijuana family that's were the hate comes from.

    This is the amazing thing about Khan. Apparently if he had a chin he would be destined for all kinds of greatness.

    Even if Khan had a chin he'd be a one tricky pony that would struggle against the very best. His defence is porus. He has no inside game at all, and I mean zip. He can barely even hold on properly, nevermind throw a body punch or a short compact punch.

    Somebody like Juan Diaz would own Khan if he had a "good" chin.

    Do you know the physical stats of the two guys?

    That won't happen.
