Marco Antonio Barrera believes it will be "even easier" to beat Amir Khan than Naseem Hamed, who the Mexican legend outclassed in Las Vegas in 2001. Former three-weight world champion Barrera, 35, faces Bolton lightweight Khan, 22, in Manchester on Saturday. "I heard all the same talk about Hamed when I beat him," said Barrera. "By the time I was Khan's age I had made six world title defences and beaten some greats. Everybody wants to beat me, but at the end I win." More hype again, could it really be this easy for Barrera?
I'm not sure if Khan and his people are as confident as they say they are. I know that MAB has been in much worse positions than this so he probably has absolutely no trouble sleeping at night.
I was asked to do the preview for BBN and I've picked Khan, but I keep changing my mind. When Barrera says stuff like this it tells me he's bang up for it and his attitude is one of the mot important factors in the fight.

Nah. He looks **** bored, as if he has been there and done that. The fact that he speaks Spanish there when his English is really good tells me he can't be arsed with these press conferences and is probably totally focused on the fight.

Came across a youtube clip where someone had made racists comments towards you a couple of days ago. Every credit, you defended yourself very well and made him look like the pillock he was.
