    Ok, so its been done to the death, the vote has probably been done a 100+ times already. But. March 14th is getting ever closer, the hype is getting ever greater, and, I want to be a part of it :D So, lets keep it simple, who wins, and how?

    True, perhaps. But Im not aware (yet) of any other fights on the night involving a future HOF'er to compete for the title of 'The Big Fight' lol.

    Your forgiven.:D

    Seriously though, I'm still undecided. i started by thinking Khan on points or late stoppage but I've being watching Barrera's fights against Marquez and Pac and I'm being swayed a bit.

    In fact, no I'm sticking with Khan.

    Same here... very undecided..could really go either way IMO... Just depends on the Khan that turns up I believe, if he arrives with decent movement, and taking it slightly cautiously as opposed to the old Khan rushing in like an over eager kid, he could have the better of Barrera due his overall natural advantages at this stage. But as Roach says, only one mistake from Khan is required before its lights out.. cant wait.

    I would say it would depend more on what Barrera turns up myself.

    That is the biggest unknown in this fight.

    I'm supporting our own - Khan by ko. MAB will get caught with something he doesn't see coming and then overwhelmed. If size and age ain't a problem then nothing suggests Khan should win unless he fights an ultra safe, boring, jab and grab fight where he steals a decision.

    Khan by stoppage, either Ref or corner.

    The closer it gets the less convinced i am tho. Wouldnt fall off my chair if MAB sparks him.

    This is true, however I believe Khan has all the physical advantages in this fight to win, and Barrera has all the advantages in terms of experience and mentally, with his boxing brain. At this stage of both fighter career I believe that, if used correctly the physical advantages will be able to overpower MAB.

    Your last line is 100% correct... whatever I've been saying may well turn out to be absolute bollocks, as no one really knows what kind of Barrera could turn up.
