They recon Barrera will be OK, you can see the headbutt on that popular video sharing web site

I have always be a fan of Barrera and hope he goes in well prepared, i hate seeing a legend who is well past his best getting a beating.

Love to hate him, he sure can back that mouth up though.

To be expected, but obviously a big loss to boxing. I love watching him fight, he is IMO Britain's best ever fighter.

Hes had a great career, think he was a little underrated by the yanks but has beat everyone put in front of him well done Joe.

dont retire yet . the man wants him in the ring

. the man fights tonight shannon ''the bulli blaster''taylor

who??? calzaghe has done the right thing and shouldntcome out he will become 1 off the all time greats now

and he deserves it too

The hypocrisy is unbelievable IMO. Margarito gets banned while Mosley (the drugs cheat) is allowed to continue fighting.

Was about to post the same comment. Will be interested to see what becomes of this. Will Margarito appeal?

danny green comeback from retirement too fight ''the man''

So he can get whooped again?

to be fair wot margarito did is far worse. if it was proved he knew about it he'd be banned for life. also if i remember right mosley never failed a drug test?

the ''man'' won last night

Stupid. Is he just after the money? Should have hung up the gloves a few years ago really

Just listened to the Clinton Woods fight, sounded like Woods dominated from the off and ended up winning on points, just wish it was shown on TV, instead of some of the rubbish that they do show

Now that Nate Campbell has been stripped of his lighweight world titles for not making the weight at the weekend, theres talk of the Barrera - Khan fight being for the WBO belt.

Has there ever been 2 more undeserving challengers?

Hasim Rahman and Chris Byrd - off the top of my head for starters...

At least they were ranked by the majority of the main organisations.

Khan isn't ranked in the top 20 of most of them.

Anyone seen Tyson Fury fight?He is fighting on 28th of Feb on ITV4, i think its his 3rd pro fight and is worth a watch looks like he has potential. He is only about 20 years old and we definitely need some British talent in the heavyweight division. If he comes through it ok i wouldn't mind seeing him fight Larry Olubamiwo.

Anyone know what channel the Cotto fight is going to be on, on Saturday?

Quote ="John D H"Anyone know what channel the Cotto fight is going to be on, on Saturday?'" I don't think it was due to be shown, only the Pavlik v Rubio was on, Setanta have now announced they will show, but have not updated the listings on the website for which channel/what time it is on. www.setanta.com/uk/Articles/othe ... nid-41121/

It says on your link the Jennings/Cotto fight is on Setanta sports 2 at 2AM.Looking forward to this as Jennings is from my home town but I don't give him much chance of winning.Cotto to win in about 8 rounds

Word is Thomas Hearns is going to make a comeback!

He's 50

The Cotto fight was a farce. Jennings had no business being in there. I mean, he's barely out of eight-rounders!

As for Hatton-Pac. The smart money has to be on the latter, but Hatton does have a some chance. The problem for Hatton is throughout his career he's been wide open to the straight right - and Manny has one of the best in the business. If Hatton tries his usual trick of lunging in like an amateur he'll get tagged. Not with the same effect as Floyd's legendary "check hook" - but often and hurtfully.

For Hatton to win - four things must happen:

1. Build behind the jab (the single most important tactic and it's good to see Floyd Mayweather Sr. got him using it against the useful but toothless Malignaggi)
2. Hunt the body, hunt the body, hunt the body ... Manny's midriff is open to question, IMO - and Ricky has always been a nasty rib-tickler. But he can't just go in recklessly head down all night without building a platform first with his jab because on the way in he'll take a ton of leather and the risk of a cut will be hight.
3. Footwork. Hatton is one of the best in the business at closing down angles (even Mayweather found he had less room to operate than usual). Keep Pac away from the centre of the ring.
4. Use his obvious physical advantage and tire Manny out in the clinches.
