Barrera“I will beat Khan, I’m still a much better fighter than he is".

I totally agree.

 

I don't think so. It's wishful thinking on your part that Amir has made enough improvements to step 3-4 classes up..which I hope you realize he is doing. Marco was and never has been a part time fighter, and doesn't teach school kids or drive a taxi. At the end of the day, It's khan and Barrera in the ring, Joke Coach Roach will be doing no fighting for Khan.

 

Khan can fight 2 levels up, which is what this is in reality. In fact, it might not even be that.

 

Barrera is at least 4 steps up from the ***an's and Shot Gomez's of the world. Big trouble for Amir. I'm British, but I see nothing in Khan that makes me want to support him apart from maybe his admirable confidence.

 

This version of Barrera at lightweight isn't that. And even if he was, say, 3 steps up - Barrera isn't winning because everything is in Khan's favour. Barrera won't deal with the speed. He won't slip the punches, nor can he plow through them. I can also guarantee that the one thing you will see Khan doing more of is clinch on the inside.

Khan's gonna win this by stoppage, and I'll be drinking plenty to drown my sorrows.

 

Amir is a gatekeeper at best. He will get stopped by anybody in the top 10, and this may include Marco. I'll be there to see it live.

 

Sometimes a young fighter needs a challenge to rise to, Its Khan's time now, Barrera has had his, this is a fact. Still you cannot count MAB out because he is class but Khan's speed might even stop MAB early in the fight.

The main thing for Khan is to keep his focus all the time, otherwise he will get taged.

 

I'm putting some cash on Khan to help ease the pain.

 

I won't even be nervous before this fight, i just think it is gonna be..a very very easy fight for Amir Khan.

A total beat down into retirement...!

 

I think that the hate for Khan is clouding this a bit for some of you folk..... No way is Roach a cheer leader... he's served his apprenticship and I rarely disagree with anything he says. He is realistic and knows a hell of a lot about the physics of a fight. The improvement Khan made in the ***an fight surely demonstrates this. I'm a big fan of Oliver Harrison.... He's one of, if not the best trainer in the UK.... However Khan was on a different plain in his last fight. You don't get to where Roach has if you know **** all.

With regards to Amir.... I'm thoroughly looking forward to this fight and of course I want Barrera to win. But if Khan beats Barrera then i'll have to admit that i've just watched something pretty special. At least as special as Williams beating Tyson.

It won't make Khan an ATG but it will certiainly move him in a better direction then the one he went in following Bredis Prescotts left hook. Give the kid a break he's only 22.

 

The Legacy ends on March 14th.

 

Sorry Jeff, but I don't see Khan being able to beat MAB as being as "special" as Williams bating Tyson. Tyson was probably further past his prime than MAB is but he was at least fighting in his natural weight division and was expected by most people to win the fight comfortably. Kahn has a number of phyisical advantages that give him a great shot in this fight, Williams was percieved at just being there to make up the numbers.

 

WTF! De gale and Fraudley both won Olympic Gold medals?? They would get schooled by someone in the top of thier divison?? :huh

 

me and my mate will be there ringside(nearly)cheering mab on,hopefully we will have sombraros on(if we can rob some)

someone said b4 that mab has fought no one with khans speed,are you having a laugh mate,**** me he has fought people who are twice as fast and much more power,look at his record and boxrec a few.

if khan wins i will eat humble pie(a very small slice)and give him a bit of credit.
but in my mind,khan can not beat a 50% MAB,so if he beats him,barrara is less than 50%,his last 2 fights are nothing to go on,they were nothing but jouneymen

 

Whose your money on Gav?
