    a fighter who fought in a similar style, same stance, and they even look a bit alike..... they seem to have the same fighting styles.

    Marco Antonio Barrera

    Now I don't know nor am I saying that Khan will ever reach the status of MAB....but Khan sure reminded me of MAB in his fight this past Saturday.

    Khan has superior handspeed, but MAB is the better all-around fighter in my opinion.

    I like Khan, But he is still wide open for a left hook.

    I didnt see the similarties at all.

    But on the undercard I do see Ortiz as a poor man's version of Cotto though.

    Khan has been compared to all sorts of fighters...Don King even went as far as to compare him to Sugar Ray Robinson, haha.

    I don't think he reminds me much of Barrera -- Barrera's style seemed more fluid. Not as fast, but much more relaxed and versatile.

    I agree. Obviously, Khan has time to improve but he lacks that innate ease of motion that MAB possessed.

    I think Khan is, old boy. And believe me, I am no Khan sack-fondler.

    I don't see the similarities.
