Khan is a champion in the deepest division in boxing(140)....
Khan gets smoked by both these guys!!! Diaz would fuk this clown up and JMM wouldnt even break a sweat with this fool!!!
Diaz is a light puncher that was outboxed by Paulie and Marquez was a featherweight and is not the fighter he was a few years ago and a bout for the inactive fighter at 140 is outrageous.
HBO showcased Ortiz-Campbell on Khans undercard hoping to match the winners of both bouts. Ortiz gets swept under the rug like the man who beat him, Maidana. Just doesn't pay to be a contender at light welterweight these days!
Shaw wants 140lb Tournament
By Karl Freitag
“I was up at HBO this week unbeknownst to anybody,” revealed promoter Gary Shaw today. “I offered to do a 140lb tournament with Timothy Bradley, Devon Alexander, Amir Khan, and if Marquez beats Diaz, he could be in the tournament, as well. I suggested that we have a press conference and we pull pills out of a bottle. If we pull Devon Alexander, we fight Devon Alexander. If we pull Amir Khan, we fight Amir Khan, or Marquez, or any other 140-pounder they want to put in there. Golden Boy said no.”
Shaw continued, “Of course, Amir Khan doesn’t want to fight Timothy Bradley. Timothy Bradley will fight anybody and to Devon Alexander’s credit, he’ll fight anybody. It’s the other two that won’t fight.”

I wouldnt mind seeing a Marquez - Khan match up but this means Marquez would have to move to 140 cause Khan aint going down there...
I would give the edge to Khan if it was 140 due to youth, less wear and tear, and the fact that Marquez will be slow at 140..
Whats goin on with a Maidana fight anyways.. Why isnt this in the works..?
