    yes, but khan deserves credit since he was only 21, look at canelo and he is fighting gomez, that barrera > this gomez. my point is that barrera was past prime but khan was pre prime

    well here's the thing:

    Barrera looked awful, I mean woeful, against his previous two opponents

    He was tiny compared to Khan

    He got a horrible cut in the first round and the fight should have been stopped there and then... but Dave Parris was the referee so let's not act like its a surprise that he waited until the very round where it can't be ruled a No Contest.

    It was a confidence booster for Khan as it was only his second fight after getting wiped out in a round, and a way to get a "name" on his record.

    The fight has been long since forgotten about and rightly so

    Except your boy folds lik a cheap suit every time his chin is touched by a decent puncher. Don't get all excited, he's no odlh or Tito in the making. He's just good for a Brit.
