Khan by UD, too fast, too big.
Agreed.
Khan is prob the most under-rated boxer around. He wasn't great a few years ago, but this guy has huge potential. He's young, intelligent and wants to learn. He's like Pacquiao in that he dosnt use pre-fight training to get fit, he already is fit, he uses pre-fight training to improve and learn.
People can abuse him all they want but in 2/3 years he's goina be one the best around and with Roach as coach, and Pac as sparring partner, thats almost guarenteed.
Khan wins he is too big and too quick, Marquez is past prime now and slowing. Khan is a completely different fighter now to the one that fought Prescott.
Khan got KOed by a lucky punch against Prescott. That won't happen again. JMM is elite at 130 and 135, we don't know about him at 140. Khan is proven at 140 and is a young hungry fighter. He has a huge size advantage a speed advantage, and good overall boxing skills. I think it would be too much for the smaller Marquez. With that said Khan wouldn't have an easy fight against him. Marquez's counter ability is better than Barrera's.
JMM is going to counter Khan?
Cool story bro.
Ho countered the hell out of the better faster, harder hitting P4P number 1 Pacquiao who had the much better chin. The maywetaher fight must have fooled alot of people. People forget Khan got KOed by the first counter punch an overrated now exposed Prescott landed.
Conveniently ever since? Styles make fights, and Khan was all over Barrera before and after the cut. Yes, Barrera probably wasn't as good as he was when he fought Marquez and Pacquaio, but he wasn't completely done. And Hatton was just the same in 2009 as he was in 2007, it just took a world class fighter to find him out. Although if you would have said the 2005 Hatton who beat Tszyu, I would have agreed with you.
Baerra was on top, and was a world champion when he fought Marquez. Current barrera would not be able to wina world title against any good opponent at any weight. Two years is a lot in boxing. That is neither here nor there. I am one of the very few Khan fans here, but he would lose, and brutally against JMM.
Barerra has been done ever since. Seeing that that was a title fight I wouldn't say barerra was done, since he fought on even terms with JMM for 9 rounds. You see Hatton in 2007 was a lot different from the one in 2009 who got stretched in 2 rounds.

I didn't say Marquez has fought green or shot fighters, but here's one...Barrera in 2007. You said he has been shot for years.

Hahaha, owning someone with their own words, harsh one timba :D
When has Marquez fought a green or shot fighter? It is a thread man.

Marquez shouldn't even consider fighting Khan or Hatton. At the moment Khan is too green, and Hatton is done. Marquez should fight Bradley at 140 if he wants a challenge. He wouldn't get any credit off me for beating Khan( Who most people think is a pile of digshi*t, and doesn't have a chance) or Hatton (Who is shot to bits).
Why should Marquez be able to pick on green or shot fighters for money, when Mayweather doesn't get any credit for beating smaller fighters?

Khan is already ready. Khan will beat him now. Khan's size, speed and youth will be way too much for Marquez.
i'm not sure khan has enough experience yet.

Be fvcking serious for once guys. Khan is massive for a light welterweight, and arguably faster than Mayweather. This would go the same way as Khan-Barrera.
Barerra has been shot for years. JMM is one of the best P4P. I like Khan and rooted for him for all of his fights, but come one, he would get KOed. JMM was blown up and lasted 12 rounds against the best fighter in the world. Khan got blitzed by a journeyman. Pacquiao is faster and better than Khan by a lot, and JMM handled him. Speed doesn't beat JMM timing that is better than his, and defense beats him.

Khan's arm punches are not even as fast as Mayweather's power blows...

Roach has altered Khan's style though. Khan doesn't commit anymore and stays on the move constantly.
But I do think he is prone to clumsiness and is still not very fluid.
He got hit against Barerra, and got tagged quite a bit by the featherfisted guy he fought for the WBA strap.
Thing is Khan gets tagged by anyone. Prescot KOed him with the first conter punch he landed, and I am 100 percent sure JMM at 135 hits harder than Prescott.
