No Guns

This weekend Monte Barrett scored a second round KO over Damon Reed. That is great for Barrett. There are sites declaring Barrett to be a heavyweight contender. I was not aware that getting KOd by Cliff Couser, getting revenge on Couser and then beating Reed made one a contender. Barrett has had several opportunities in the division and has been beaten almost every time. He may be game, but he is not a contender. Websites that declare Barrett a contender whether they be editorial comments or just through a press release only marginalize their sites. The headline of an interview with Barrett was titled "MONTE "TWO GUNS" BARRETT IN SUPER FIGHT ON SUPERBOWL WEEKEND". If this was a super fight then it is the first one that I can remember that had zero publicity, zero interest among die hards. The real answer to this question is that the charge is led by Boxingtalk whose head is Barrett's adviser/manager.
