	James F James Fay	Josh, you are the last person anyone would suspect of turning down a fight. F*ck whoever said that   Posted by James F on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 1:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Ryan Loco	I knew this already, because I read somewhere that you were going to say this.   Posted by Ryan Loco on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 1:56 AM [Reply to this]

	Layzie The Savage Michael Mardones	We know your not scared of anybody   Posted by Layzie The Savage on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 1:57 AM [Reply to this]

	Johnny Martin	I been readin' rumors too JB. I heard from this site that you are fighting at Sengoku again. http://www. mmaweekly. com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews. asp?articleid=7117&zoneid=13 If people are putting out stuff that ain't true, besides some blogger typin' some head, it may influence someone else to make a misinformed decision and take a different fight. Either that or people are ducking you for a better chance to win. To whoever fights Josh next: ""omae wa mou shindeiru"! WAR FUCKING BARNETT!!!   Posted by Johnny Martin on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:32 AM [Reply to this]

	B. Sy Brian Sy	Nobody would ever believe that you turned down a fight. You're known to be a fighter who will openly accept any challenge, and it doesn't surprise me that you told your fans here first even if you didn't have to.   Posted by B. Sy on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:32 AM [Reply to this]

	Sir Matticus of NothingHam	"Don't be scared, homie" "Famous words of a bitch" Just playing man. So, who and where is your next fight? Do you know?   Posted by Sir Matticus of NothingHam on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:33 AM [Reply to this]

	LiveStrong	they are just liars man, don't stress over it. Fuck all those haters. We all look forward to seeing your next fight Josh! Judge Miyake.........SHOODOR!! Judge Arachi..........JOSH!!! Judge Kobayahi......JOSH!!   Posted by LiveStrong on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 2:34 AM [Reply to this]

	GoodKnight Frank krazit	Thats insane thinking that barnett would even consider backing down on a fight ;0   Posted by GoodKnight on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Andreas	who's Arlovski?   Posted by Andreas on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:50 AM [Reply to this]

	iRepBmore	I find it so hard to believe that you of all people would turn down any fight! I, like everyone else, can't wait to see you put the stamp on Arlovski! I'm just throwing it out there but what are u doing NYE cuz I hear that Fedor is lonely, maybe u can invite him to a suplex clinic???? HA ;p   Posted by iRepBmore on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Todd	i believe you but i think this whole thing stinks to high heaven why the hell would you want to fight another top 10 in the world on short notice like that? do i think you could beat andrei? pffft like 8 out of every 10 fights yes. but i think it would be nice to have more than a 2 week notice that you will be fighting another elite level fighter, ya know?   Posted by Todd on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:51 AM [Reply to this]

	krazylarry	You should be fighting on CBS. I want to see you throw Kimbo a beating.   Posted by krazylarry on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:51 AM [Reply to this]

	Kill A Celebrity	Glad you cleared that up. I was wondering about that rumour. Hehehe... Fear Factory? Go listen to Pig Destroyer.   Posted by Kill A Celebrity on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 4:51 AM [Reply to this]

	Doomsday Celebration New World Disorder	I'd never believe it if I had read or heard about you backing out of a fight! You're the man, Josh! Horns up!!   Posted by Doomsday Celebration on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 9:03 AM [Reply to this]

	Arvman1 Arvin Vulliet	People sometimes have a tendency to put LIES in print and worse yet some people believe everything they read. Stay true to yourself and the rest will out. Best to you. Looking forward to seeing your next fight.   Posted by Arvman1 on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 9:03 AM [Reply to this]

	Marcus Marcus Johnston	Who keeps coming up with these BS rumors? That's the internet for ya.   Posted by Marcus on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 5:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Big_Country MARVIN COOK	Hey Champ don't let this get to you. I told you that thngs were going to change for you. They can't figure you out or prepare for you now. What they thought would work doesn't pay off for them anymore. They sense the danger on the ground or standing up.   Posted by Big_Country on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 5:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Andy	They probably knew how fast you'd sub Arlovski on CBS and preferred him doing a highlight reel KO on Nelson. Sigh.   Posted by Andy on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 5:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Brandon brandon ruiz	i just can't wait to see you fight again, whether its arlovski in january or fedor soon after   Posted by Brandon on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 5:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Jake	Lying media, so tired of lies...   Posted by Jake on Thursday, September 25, 2008 - 5:51 PM [Reply to this]

	Kagé	What baka yaro came up with that load a crap? You declining a fight is like the Lions winning the superbowl.. never gonna happen! I was mad when i heard that because i knew it was'nt true. Much admiration and respect,-Lance   Posted by Kagé on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Kevin	I just saw where he was given another opponent I was wondering what happened. I was so looking forward to that fight. I like watching both of you guys fight and when I saw you were paired up I was like damn there's a potential fight of the year..but it looks like it's going on hold too bad. It sucks that theres been mis information put out there.   Posted by Kevin on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Clint Santiago Dahl	WORD!!!   Posted by Clint Santiago Dahl on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 1:51 AM [Reply to this]

	Mugsy	If you ever do fight Arlovski, I recommend you train by jogging a lot, because he backpeddles faster than any man I've ever seen.   Posted by Mugsy on Friday, September 26, 2008 - 3:52 PM [Reply to this]

	Yuri	Hey dawg, Fear Factory is the $H!T, and I mean the $H1T with extra money symbols!! $$$$$$ JOSH BARNETT IS RICH GOD DAMNIT!!!! lol, Maybe it was a rumor started by Dana White and his crappy marketing tactics. Because, he is pissed off about Affliction being more fair to their fighters. Power to the people!, Yuri   Posted by Yuri on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 1:38 AM [Reply to this]

	Karl Neef Karl Neef	Josh is a warrior. This here's a man who has stepped in the ring with Cro Cop (three times), Nogueria (twice), Aleksander Emelianenko and many more top level fighters. I don't believe turning down fights is his thing.   Posted by Karl Neef on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 1:38 AM [Reply to this]

	Dave David Duff	...ohh...wil you be fighting someone else instead? or has nothing been arranged yet.   Posted by Dave on Monday, September 29, 2008 - 6:11 AM [Reply to this]

	Blame It On Bad Luck	We ALL know Josh Barnett would never back down from a fight. It sucks to hear that Alovski might be next in line to fight Fedor when you deserve the fight most. Arlovski lost to Tim Silva, who Fedor dismantled in record fashion. WAR Barnett. I can't wait to see you fight Arlovski or Fedor but Barnett vs Fedor would be a much better and deserved fight to see whos top dog. Good luck and can't wait to see you fight again. (Hopefully on the east coast)   Posted by Blame It On Bad Luck on Thursday, October 16, 2008 - 5:02 AM [Reply to this]

	chuck	when this fight goes down im in your corner for sure!!!!   Posted by chuck on Thursday, October 16, 2008 - 5:03 AM [Reply to this]

	The Unknown Soldier Michael V	i don't know why they canceled the fight, you would have knocked arlovski out, he has a glass chin. the winner of that fight should face you.   Posted by The Unknown Soldier on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]
