    Yes, Barrera was/is well past his best and he has no business at Lightweight.

    Probably but i wouldnt rule out a Barrera comeback either. I disagree with your opinion on him fighting at lightweight if he would have made that move a couple years before he would have grabbed another title. I

    Yes. MAB was too old and too small.

    I think MAB would have got to him in the later rounds and won

    If there was a rematch now after Roach has had a year training him.. Khan would completely humiliate him IMO

    Would have beaten Jesus Chavez decisively in 03.

    Khan would have probably won regardless, but prime Marco spanks Khan like a little school girl.

    Yes Khan would have carried on his masterclass and stopped him within the next couple of rounds.

    everyone is saying yes because amir has gone on two win and defend a world title but i'm not so sure.at the time it was a very dodgy fight for amir

    Think most fans know that Barrera was past it.

    I would say yes.

    Barrera had no buisness at 135 and was past his prime.

    But, he wasnt being hurt by Khans punches, flustered but not hurt, and also correct me if im wrong but when Barrera did land a punch solid on Khan it did register (cant remember the round).

    But i do think given the finish they could have done it again.
