    Opinion-Barrera Khan will lead the winner into a world title fight, no doubt. Khan wins Nate Campbell will be heavily compensated to vacate. Barrera wins I think Nate hangs on to he title.

    Opinion- Barrera hasn't put in a 'typical Barrera' performance since the beating Paulie Ayala..... wait for it... just short of five years ago.

    Fact- the indifferent performance against Pacman came nearly six years ago.

    Fact- Barrera has had just 5 bouts in the time khan has been a proffesional.

    Fact- Sammy Ventura, the man who took Barrera four rounds before retiring in his last fight, had suffered 16 stoppage losses in his 19 defeats.

    Opinion- Barrera has always struggled with fighters who can match his workrate and speed.

    Opinion- He was outgamed by Marquez and Pacman because he hasn't got 'it' anymore.

    Opinion- Barrera has neither the attitude or style required to beat Khan. He will be out maneuvered, outworked and may even wave the white flag, pacman style.

    Opinion- Just because the WBO still rate Barrera doesn't mean anyone else has to.

    Fact- Barrera has the power to KO khan if he lads a big one.

    Fact- Despite mad biceps Barrera is absolutely tiny at the weight... He's smaller then Gomez.

    Opinion- Barrera Vs Khan could turn out to be a horrible mis match.

    Fact- Khan beats Barerra and only the naive will believe.

    Fact- Prime for Prime Barrera is so many miles ahead of Khan its untrue....

    Opinion - Frank Warren has pulled a masterstoke in picking Barrera for this one.

    A lot the public will be raving about Khan again after (in my opinion) he stops Barrera late or wins a UD, whilst forgetting that Barrera has never fought at this weight, and is WAY past it, where as Khan is big at the weight and has youth, speed and all physical attributes on his side apart from his dodgy chin.

    I can't see Khan losing this unless he gets careless which he is prone to doing. Prime Barrera would absolutely destroy him though even with the size difference.

    I really hope Barrera takes him to school though!

    I disagree that Khan would beat Campbell. Nate, while not elite, is a world-class fighter with power. I think he'd take Khan out inside 3 or 4 rounds easy.

    I don't think Jeff was saying Campbell would be beaten by Khan - just that Campbell might vacate the title if Khan wins against Barrera - I think!

    Fact - Barrera should have retired two years ago.

    Fact - The whole fight will be in tatters if Barrera loses his next fight scheduled for the end of January (according to boxrec).

    Opinion - This will be Barrera's last fight if Khan were to win, which I think he will.

    FACT - Barrera is 35 years old and is fighting at an unatural weight class for him.

    OPINION - He is well past his prime and hasn't been elite in a fair few years.

    OPINION - At this stage Khan is too big, too fast, too elusive for Barrera to track down...Khan will win and look good in doing so.

    OPINION - Warren realises this and hence why he made the fight, a promotional stroke of genuius and one that has certainly got my attention it has to be said.

    OPINION - Prime Barrera mullers Khan regardless of size difference.

    Opinion...... John Murray would beat Barrera

    Fact- Khan is in a lose lose situation with knowledgable fight fans.

    Opinion- The fight sells but it doesn't convince.

    OPINION - That's not true

    FACT - I don't know who is going to win this fight, its incredibly difficult to call for many reasons. I don't think anybody can make a firm pick on this fight, not unless there is some footage out there of Barrera's last fight. I suppose his "warm up" fight might give a good indication.
