Will you give Khan any credit if he beats Barrera?

Yes, for a 22yr old, fighting a past prime Barrera is still a big test. Definetely deserves credit for winning.

 

Ofcourse he should get credit if he beats MAB.

 

and exactly hes only 22. hes very young with not much experience at this level. MAB has looooooads.

 

Exactly. He's only 22, he's still great for a 22yr old.

 

Exactly :huh..

 

It's usually Americans that are dissing Khan. Yes he has a horrible chin, even his amateur days have proved it, but theres been guys with weak chins to make it big, ala Hearns. But for a 22yr old, he sure has done more than most 22yr olds in history of the sport.

 

Come on now. Why is MAB ranked so high? I would not be surprised if MAB and his people are trying to decieve us by giving the fight to Khan and collecting a phat check. I hope not though.

 

I wouldnt say its usually americans dissing khan from what ive heard around. He seems to get a lot of 'hate' form brits too (albeit mainly internet posters from what im gathering).

IMO Khan has a lot of talent. Yes hes punch resistance is an issue but as you say, he could still go far.

 

its still a step up in quality of opposition. Barrera is in his prime experience wise.

 

The only way Khan beats Barrera, is if he's completely shot. So, no.

I don't think any of us know how far gone Barrera is right now, so it's hard to say. I'm picking Barrera, but I don't know how good he is at the moment. If he's as good as I think he still is, then he'll win, but maybe he isn't, I don't know. And that's the reason I can't give Khan credit, if he wins.

 

i voted no but its more like of in between a yes and a no since barrera is...well barrera....

 

Hell, NO! If I didn't give Pac any credit for beating a 29 yr old shot MAB, why would I give Khan any if he would beat a 35 yr old MAB.:huh

 

depends on how he beats him...but he won't.

 

Past prime? I thought MAB was already shot at 29 when he first fought Pac.
