Where in the fight did he nearly KO Marquez? He hurt him with a left but he never even looked like going down let alone a KO.
Diaz would have a reasonable chance to KO Khan, but a TKO is more likely.
I know that's the left i'm talking about , he looked as if he was going to sleep for a minute , plus Gomez almost put Khan to sleep and Diaz is on a different level from Gomez . We'll see tomorrow , they're saying it's make or break for Khan so we'll see how he performs . If he beats MAB i'll give him a chance but don't forget Diaz is a former IBF WBA and WBO lightweight champion and Khan hasn't even really proved himself at European level yet
Diaz nearly ko'd JMM , so I would have to pick Diaz ko . If he landed flush on Khan with a left hook I think he would probably knock him out

The only way to know is for them to fight. I think Khan needs another 3 fights and another 15 months with Roach before he attempts to. Khan is fast, and hits harder than Diaz, but Diaz is fast, furious and never stops coming.
I think this fight is a 60/40 fight in Diaz's favour.

it tickles me that we have a debate about khan v diaz. khan needs to prove himself on these shores before he even considers fighting the likes of diaz.
i think the questions needs to be khan or murray??
At this moment in time, from what we've seen so far, Khan stands no chance. However, if he performs impressively tomorrow night and wins convincingly, then I might change my mind...
I don't see how Khan can last long against a guy like Juan Diaz. Diaz might not be the best puncher in the division, but he more than makes up for it with volume.
Juan Diaz by knockout in the 5th round.
lets just say if Diaz goes to work on Khan like he did JMM Khan aint gona go beyond the first round, no way khan could take that kind of onslaught, i dont see khan ever been a legitimit champion, he has the speed the offensive skills but terrible defense and the worst chin on earth, i suppose he could bulk up his neck and legs to help this problem but he would most likley have to go up a division, slightly off topic but it made me laugh when roach said prescot is a massive light weight, has he not seen Khan id say he was bigger, i dont get how he makes weight for this division, any way talk of khan diaz will go away once barrera deals wi china chin khan
I think it would be a close fight. Khna can go in there with confidence knowing Juan wont test his chin.
i don't think it would be nowhere near close texstro. diaz would you box, out brawl, out anything khan. khan is not and will never be in the league katsidis nevermind diaz. i don't khan would trouble any of the top rank 135's.
i've watched everyone of khan's fights since turning pro, and yes he did look an exciting british prospect, but as he fought more and more - all of which fighters were very poor - although he was very fast, he cannot take a punch. this weakness has been exploited a number of times, and i think will stop him becoming a world champ. after watching marquez v diaz is just made it even more clear the difference in class between them 2 and khan.
