    For me he looked as good as he always did. I think his fans like to use this excuse because they cant deal with MAB shameful NO MAS in manchester.

    I think its because Mexicans assume that Muslims are inferior fighters and that they cant comprehend that one of their own could get beat by one.

    He went on to school De Jesus and stop Arias in 2 rounds. Any signs of slipping he showed in those fights could be down to the beating Khan gave more than anything. Theres talk of him challenging Rios, so he cant of been past prime against Khan surely ?

    Barrera is done dude, he should try one more time and retire but khan is obviously not getting credit for that win.

    I always wondered this along with Tyson that fought Danny Williams, and Ali that fought Holmes.

    The amount of trolls trying to disguise themselves as Khan fans, is annoying now. There's been a massive surge of them lately.

    but you could argue that that was also a green khan who fought a past prime barrera.

    It was a green Khan against a past prime MAB.

    It was also a much larger Khan vs MAB.
    A fully fit Khan vs a MAB who was cut in his tuneup fight.

    To give credit where it was due, it was great matchmaking by Frank.
