My apologies, I forgot about ***an. I still stand-by my post for the exeption of the KO of his last fight.
Khan came after Barerra from the opening bell. The first two minutes of the fight pointed to how it was likely to proceed. Khan is leagues ahead of this version of MAB. MAB was lucky there was an acidental cut. It provides his reputation with cover. Prime for prime, who knows. Khan is bigger and stronger and faster. This is not Barerra's best weight. IMO, This version of Khan would have beaten Barerra at any stage of MAB's career at 135. However, Khan will probably always be plagued by a shakey chin, and he's always one big punch away from being put on ***** street. Floyd Patterson and others made the necessary adjustments to do ok despite such a liability. Time will tell if Khan can make the adjustments.
It'll always be touch and go when Khan fights due to that jaw of his. Thats part of the fun of watching him. I do agree that MABs WBO ranking was a joke. Don King may have some infuence yet it seems...
I agree but, I'd draw your attention to the Lewis - Klitchko fight. That cut Klitchko recieved happened in round 3 I believe, nasty, ****ed up his vision. For the next 3 rounds before the fight was stopped Klitchko proceded to outbox, outwork, out score Lewis to most people, myself included. Mind you I didn't hear Klitchko fans make HALF the noise we're hearing here.
After the cut opened i said to my friend that they would wait till the 5th round and then stop it.......and guess what.......they did. Bull Shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who calls this fight anything other then a ****ing farce is an idiot.. All you Khan lovers tell me what you think ould have happend if Khan received the cut and not Barrera????? Ill tell you what would have happend, fish eyes would have pulled him faster then you could shake a stick at!!!
There was no way Barrera was gonna quit you bellend!! Did you see the post fight interview, Khan was more marked up then Barrera... Lots of Khans punches glance of the gloves and do not connect flush... If the shoe was on the other foot and Khan had received that cut he would have been pulled out long before the 5th... Its bull****..
