Which fight do you prefer Marquez-Katisidis at 135 or Khan-Marquez at 140?

Which fight do you prefer? Marquez vs Katsidis at 135. Two guys that are basically the same size, height, and are sure to give you an exciting fight. They are also the best in their division. Or Khan vs Marquez at 140. Khan at 5' 11" and being a big JWW already could be a Welterweight right now if he wants. He's not the top guy at 140, but he's up there. There's Bradley, Maidana, Ortiz, and Alexander all calling him out. But Khan says he wants Marquez. The fight is a mismatch on paper but who knows what could happen. BTW Marquez is not getting Pacquiao. He already said 147 is too much for him and Pacquiao will not come down to 140 when there's so many bigger names at 147-150 lol.

Marquez vs Katsidis. Katsidis deserves a crack and it would be a barn burner of a fight.

Although the katsidis fight would be really entertaining i think marquez should go for history and try to get a title at 140, even if he is too small for the weight. He shouldn't fight casamayor's and diaz's conquered opponent to retain a meaningless alphabet title. Bigger fights, money, and history await marquez at 140.

Marquez - Katsidis by far. Legit lightweight world title fight. It could potentially be fight of the year given their styles.

I voted for Marquez vs Khan; only because I feel Katsidis has no chance against JMM. And at this point of JMM's career, I'd like to see him face only the top guys that will boost his legacy and bank account (he deserves it). Also at quick glance, people see it as an easy fight for Khan which I strongly disagree with. Khan's defense is terrible, even Barrera was able to expose him somewhat with clean shots. Once JMM gets adapted with Khan's jab speed, I see him countering Khan with overhand rights all night. Khan is good but way overrated.

I personally think Katsidis can beat them BOTH ESPECIALLY Khan, his pressure style can force you into a mistake and when he catches you he can drop you I know he can get to Khan's weak chin, JMM style would be a little tougher for him because of JMM skills and counter punching ability Khan needs to be fighter all those other talented young fighters at 140 not picking on the 135 guys, go fight Maidana or Bradley and let Katsidis get his Mandatory that he has EARNED against JMM

Katsidis was never even close to a career FW. Its a 2 division difference. Katsidis is a stout lightweight. This he came in at 150 against diaz on fight night.

JMM vs katsidis is a pointless fight. JMM gains nothing at all. Since he is the top guy at 135, why not get a fight with bradley, the top guy at 140. JMM will have no chance against khan, just too big for him.

As a fan of Marquez I would rather see him fight a LW. Hes too old to be moving up weight classes and trying to fight young P4P fighters.

I wouldn't mind either since Im a JMM fan, but if I had to choose one it would the Katsidis fight. It would be exciting, JMM would be at his best weight at the moment and watching him against the come forward kind of fighters is a thing of beauty. Khan would be interesting though because of Khan's chin and I think JMM could catch him at some moment and win a title at 140lb.

JMM needs guys that will at least fight with him a little bit. He's not natural on the chase. I think Khan would run a lot and try and potshot and the fight would suck balls. i agree mate,i dont want to see it jmm and kat would be a war and then hopefully 3rd fight with manny,after that jmm could hang them up

Morales and Barrera failed at the higher weights. JMM is the recognized man at lw for almost 2 years now. That alone puts him ahead of them. They can't do what he does. I don't follow much about who's over who between those three but from all of the fights I have downloaded/seen from the three, I like Marquez way more. I don't really care if they're over him historically. To me Marquez is the better well-rounded boxer.

jmm vs kat is the way forward khan needs to stop being a wanker and fight bradley,devon or madiana it wouldnt surprise me if jmm knocked khan out late in the rounds if they ever fought

As a JMM, I would love for him to go to 140 and fight for a title to become the first Mexican to do so. But the additional weight against a fighter who utilizes speed is too much of a problem. I don't think Kahn would try to fight JMM like he has his previous opponents. I think he would try to take a page out of Mayweather's book and potshot, pick his shots making sure he doesn't linger long enough for Marquez to counter him. Katsidis plays more into JMM's style and if Casa took him out, I think JMM can too. But it just wouldn't be a historic win for Marquez. It would not set him above Morales and Barrera.

Kats is naturally bigger than jmm, but its much closer than Khan who is big for 140. Maybe he's slightly bigger but not by landslide.

Gotta go with JMM vs. Katsidis at 135. JMM and Katsidis would be one hell of a war and would definitely give JMM 'FOTY' honours two years in a row. JMM does not belong over 135 because of his natural body frame. Khan needs to fight fighters from his own weight class and worry about his mandatory with Maidana.
