I'm some what glad Marquez wasn't the man in the ring with Khan as I feel he would have capitalized and more than likely had Khan out of there by the 11'th round due to the vulnerability of Khan. Marquez - Khan was close to going through at one point, but my god, this fight would been disastrous.
I thought Khan was ducking Maidana when he wanted to fight JMM? :rofl:
JK
i don't think jmm would have posed any problems. He's accurate, but doesn't have the physical tools to deal with a guy like Khan

Marquez wasn't the usual warrior as he was back then though I still like him. But he goes down easily...Khan would do a Pacquiao on him and just put him on the floor with Khan's dazzling speed and combo.
Khan needs to learn to jab though...and clinch.
But Khan is strong and young. Marquez's counter punching is still one of the best out there, but his chin isn't all that impressive, even a "smart" Katsidis can beat him.
But Katsidis just chose to bang in that phone booth too much. He needs to learn how to jab, pace and follow up. And so going exchanges with the master counter puncher in Marquez is a no-no.
But back to Khan. He is just too fast for Marquez.
Maidana and JMM fight nothing a like. I don't get why people keep saying this.
They don't, but I can't understand how you guys think JMM wouldn't get close to Khan? He was even exchanging with Maidana, if you exchange with JMM he would have came out on top. I hear; 'Khan will outbox JMM', how can this be justified? Maidana was allowed to get in close, and pull the trigger at will with those uppercuts. JMM would have hit the canvas a couple of times but in the laters rounds I think JMM would find to many holes in Khan, he has to many vulnerability to fight JMM yet.
I see either winning by UD, but favoring towards Marquez. I think he can handle his range.
Watch floyd vs marquez......Marquez couldnt handle floyd speed and reach advantage.
I could debate that Marquez is a more deadly puncher than Maidana. The angles and the pinpoint accuracy make JMM one of the best punchers in the game.
you saw against floyd jmm is way too slow, fat and not sharp enough in the 140s
if jmm fought khan at his 135 version, he would be too small and khan would take him out imo
jmm just cannot carry his sharpness, speed or power at a higher weight class than 135
Nah.
Marquez doesn't hit as hard as Maidana, Khan will box circles around him.
This. JMM isn't as physically imposing, powerful or have a chin as good as Maidana's.
Nah.
Marquez doesn't hit as hard as Maidana, Khan will box circles around him.
Like he outboxed the one dimensional Maidana? Khan cannot stick to gameplans and gets extremely careless in the process. Maidana was teeing off at will dude, despite him being the better technican.
Marquez has far more tools than Maidana and would have gave him hail last night.
