    One thing I am sure about is that Barerra looks in good shape.
    In his other fights he looked soft in the belly area!

    I remember when I suggested that Khan might fight Barerra people doubted it and thought Warren would more likely put Khan in with Gainer etc

    Nah, think Khan will try to impose himself physically from early on in the fight. I've no idea how "shot" MAB is or isn't or whether Khan is mentally over the Prescott fight though, you do sound a little bitter about Khan...

    Hard to really say whats going to happen in this fight, that why I cant wait. All I am going to say, this is like a world title fight for Khan, the whole boxing world is going to be watching, the ball is in Khan's court now, lets see what Khan is really all about.

    I expect Khan to come out like he did against ***an, use the ring space to utilise the jab. This will be vital for khan, and exciting too!
    After the prescott damage , anything can happen. The roach training may bring khan into some superior mode against MAB.

    Khan will be right up for this, he has been training like a madman for this fight, His fast jab will be the key in the fight.

    Don't be fooled by the Roach. He is a glorified cheerleader.

    Does that include his Hatton v Pac predictions?

    His predictions hold zero weight considering he is involved with one of the fighters to begin with. Mayweather sr will predict a Hatton victory, as will Hatton's promoter. It's all to be ignored.

    As for the Roach, he cannot possibly turn Amir into a world class fighter by March 14th, and he'll need to be one if he comes away with the victory. That said, perhaps if Marco is completely shot, the current Amir will have enough to get the job done. Roach ain't no miracle worker.

    He's never going to say 'My fighters going to lose because X.Y.Z' as Floyd wont either but it's refreshing of Roach to say if Khan can't do Barrera he might as well forget it.

    A lot of us speak a lot of sense, but we aren't superstars are we. He can't go into the gym and make Amir Khan a World Class operator from here till March 14th. I don't care how good he thinks he is. He cannot make that happen. There has to be some drastic improvement in Khan if he plans on not only beating a war torn champion like Marco, but to then go and make noise at 135, probably the second most stacked division in Boxing.

    he doesnt like roach because he doesnt like khan

    to be honest khan wont need to be world class on the night to beat barrera, timing is crucial , khan is on the up, barrera is on the slope
