    just seen the clip of the weigh in on skysports news

    this is exactly what khan said and if my memory is correct he said something similar after the prescott weigh in,

    i also noticed he was very nervous and talking extremely fast, barrera is cool as a cucumber and way more relaxed if khan is using up too much energy before this fight barrera i going to be so much stronger in the latter rounds, the countdown is on at half 6 so we will find out more then

    also rumours of khan being booed than might of contributed to his anxious interview

    As for the nerves, one scenario I see playing out is him desperately trying to survive 12 rounds, effectively running. Given that his strengths are based around a quite varied and very speedy offence, this would be a disaster

    Khan is a young lad who hasnt yet learnt how to control his nerves. Look at him walking to the ring in a lot of his fights and his eyes are all of the show looking at the crowd the ring the lights - he looks agitated in his movements and face.
    Lacy looked the same b4 Calzaghe OK he had a big snarl on his face which some took as him being confident but he was pacing back and forth in the ring using far too much energy - he was as nervous as hell.
    Khan could let the nerves get to him but hopefully not he knows what he has to do - if he does well it could tell us alot about him

    Was thinking that myself...
    So you're 'Taller, bigger, leaner with a better physique'.
    Lets see if you can put it to good use kid, thats the important factor.

    I can not see how Khan can lose this.

    I thought Khan looked quite composed to be honest.

    And of course he was talking fast, he's pakistani, they all talk at a 100mph.

    Hopefully young Khan will do the business and prove all his haters wrong.

    The reason we don't want Khan to do well is because we feel that we're taken for a ride by Warren, with his PPV demands and hype for a guy who isn't really all that, etc., and because we feel Khan is getting to pluck Barrera just at the right time...we feel that this is somehow unfair, given the credit that he'll get, and given that he's not fought some of the very serious domestic and European challengers we wanted, along the way. We feel that he's had it all on a silver platter and getting a very comfy and easy ride to the top. We also hate the fact that he doesn't acknowledge that he is chinny. Fine!

    BUT...there are good reasons to want Khan to do well - he always gives it his all, he comes to fight, he is very exciting in the ring, he has a big heart and he keeps on striving. IF he beats a Barrera that has still got a bit left, giving a very good performance in the process, why in hell should we NOT be pleased for him?:huh

    On the other hand, if Barrera manages to pull off the upset, despite looking very much gone, of course we should be happy for him [Barrera]...

    So...why not give Khan the benefit of the doubt and wait to see the performances that both men put in on the night, and only then decide how much we want to hate Khan, etc. ;)

    ...why not just hope for a cracking fight until then?:good
