Did Marquez Duck Khan?

jmm knows GBP will cheat him, just like they cheated him against floyd

No, he just doesn't want to be treated like shit by Golden Boy. Beristain already explained why they're not fighting, you don't treat legends like that..

Marquez has fought Manny and Money May, but he's going to duck Khan? lol.

Nah. Nacho called it, they wanted to use Marquez as a stepping stone. And you know Freddie, he probably would have wanted it at 145-147 to elliminate any doubts.

No, he did NOT duck Khan. He doesn't need to fight him.

YES he did. Why would he turn down an opportunity for a TITLE AT 140 lbs. He better go back down to 135 lbs and stay there unless he wants people to believe that he ducked Amir Khan.

This situation is similar to the Pac and Floyd fiasco. Marquez, just like Pac, should have been the main guy going into the fight but Golden Boy sometimes likes being biased towards a particular fighter (Khan or Floyd). Pac and Marquez are icons and future hall of famers I'm glad that they pull out of their propose fight. Floyd and Khan still need alot of good quality wins in order to be considered icons.

he just didnt wana fight him end of same with hamed at 126 barrera at 130 a pacquioa rematch straight after their first fight guy has done this more than once its no surprise

honestly who gives a fukk?

Lmao thats the funniest thing ive ever heard!!! JMM the legend who jump up two weight divisions to fight the best fight in the world is scared of Amir Khan the Chinny feather fisted fagnuts!!!

Your looking too deeply into it. Marquez probably realised that Khan is a much harder fight than Hatton or Katsidis. If only going by the size difference. If Marquez wanted the fight with Khan, it would have been signed pretty quickly. It stalled for so long, because Marquez was probably weighing up his options and decided he didn't want to be a potential stepping stone to a young contender. It is the timing that does not fit. Marquez would have looked into the fight and made his mind up fairly quickly. Golden Boy has both fighters on the books if the deal was on they would have tied it up quickly. Also Marquez was in negotiations with Hatton for a fight and the Khan fight would finish that deal off and would cause damage to the Hatton business relationship.It just does not add up.

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah , marquez has paid his dues ..... khan needs a marquez fight more than marquez needs khan

I don't think the fight was ever real but a devised scam to provide cover for getting Maidana tied up while Khan gets to keep the title and pick who Golden Boy wants. It just seems too odd that Marquez only started airing his misgivings after the Maidana contract was signed then pulled out.

Slightly, because Khan is a very beatable opponent for Marquez. He would have made some good money, and had the chance to be the first Mexican to win titles in four weight divisions. Hatton is definitely the easier option for Marquez. While Khan does have a chin problem, he is capable of giving Marquez a very rough night, something I'm not sure Ricky can do. He is bigger, faster, stronger, and harder to hit under Freddy Roach. Hatton = An easier, bigger paid fight. Khan = A potentially difficult, well paid fight. In my opinion, if Marquez fights Hatton he has taken the easy option. However if he fights Bradley or Valero, I take all that back. Anyway, I can't blame Marquez for not fighting Khan. He can make better money elsewhere and deserves it after a long career. Plus Khan side stepped Maidana so I can't be too critical. But Hatton is done at the top level, and a win over him would mean little compared to a win over Khan at this stage in his career.
