    Agreed. Schooling is very clearly the wrong word. Hamed was outclassed is probably a better way of putting it.

    he had more support than Khan, in their fight in M.E.N, great fighter but I like Morales and JMM more

    Most brits don't even know Khan fought Barrera to be fair, its always been rightfully overlooked.

    Legend!

    I was so glad to see him up close last night.

    Did I mention I shook JCC Superstars hand? El Grand Campeon.

    Honestly hes my second favourite Mexican fighter behind Marquez

    Never was a fan of Hamed myself, he fought a guy from my town who pulled the ropes down when Hamed tried doing his special entrance and made him fall on his ass :lol:

    Barrera shut Hamed up and boxed beautifully, then went on to have 3 wars with Morales and put up a good fight with Marquez (not to mention roughing Pacquiao in the rematch)

    One of my favourite fighters of all time and personally I want to see Barrera Morales 4 so I can see them both go at it one last time

    There was a point deduction and those cards were very generous towards Hamed in my opinion.

    It was not a Calzaghe vs Lacy beatdown, but it was a pretty comprehensive and dominant display from Barrera.

    Great fighter, but i'm firmly in the Morales camp.

    Most British boxing fans who like Barrera mainly do so because he schooled Naz. That's just been my experience. I don't think he would get the same love if he hadn't fought Naseem Hamed.

    Antonio Barrera is well respected over here,like Cesar Chavez,Salvador Sanchez was.Barrera beat Naz comprehensively,but Naseem was a superb fighter who lost focus in the Barrera fight.But i think Barrera was going to beat him anyway.Naz was arrogant so what? James Toney doesn`t know when to stop his mouth flapping even now.

    Anyone who thinks even a half prime MAB would not dismantle Khan is a ****ing clueless **** and wants putting down.

    MAB is a lege...

    End thread.
