Not a chance. It would be the biggest upset in boxing since Douglas/Tyson.

From what I hear, Amir Khan has landed a fight with Barrera (yes, the Mexican legend). Now when I was first told this I laughed and thought Khan would get KOed, but thinking about it, Barrera is really a featherweight (at the most) who'll be fighting at lightweight. And he's 35, which is REALLY old for a lightweight fighter. I'm convinced Warren wouldn't make this fight if he thought Khan would lose badly.


Amir Khan vs. Marco Antonio Barrera ? :shock: Bloody hell. Even though he's 35 he'll have so much experience and could show Khan a thing or two. It could be a big mistake though.

I can't help but get the feeling Khan is making yet another HUGE mistake. Barrera is a proven world class fighter.

This may well lead to the end of the road for Khan.

Lightweight is a good few divisions above Barreras natural weight though

Even if he loses, how would it represent the end of the road for someone in his early 20s?

If he wins, what a name to have on your record even given his age...

If he wins it'll make him. However, if he loses (dependant on how ie. KO or points) it may well break him.

IMO he has been and is continually being advised into the wrong fights.

Respect to Khan for taking the fight. Roach trained Pacquaio to a comfortablevictory over Barrera less than 18 months ago. He wouldn't have let the fight be made if it was going to be a mismatch.
