Good match up. Juan Manuel Marquez vs either Khan or Morales. Or Maidana or Bradley. I think Marquez has enough power to make boxers think twice they can just knock him out.
Nice copy and paste bro.
You don't know ISH about the sport of boxing.

You brought this on yourself!
If there's any good time to make Marquez vs Morales, in their post-prime versions, it is now, in early 2012. They can't have not even one fight in between. Morales coming off a gutsy performance against Maidana, and recently beating a young undefeated fighter in a big PPV card and going 4-1 in his last 5 fights, Marquez being very popular right off his robbery-loss to Pacquiao, being 3-2 in his last 5 fights including going 24 rounds with Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao at welterweight...If this fight is going to be made, make it now. Yes, maybe it's too late, and 140 is not exactly the weight that these two fighters were best at...but like I said, despite being past their prime and past their best weight classes, right now they're very popular and the fight would be big because Morales resurrected his career somewhat, and Marquez still hasn't let his age show. Make it now HBO! Offer these warriors a decent pay check, they deserve it.
What will HBO lose by offering them $3-4Millon each? And putting on PPV? getting 300-500k buys. The action is already there, that's for sure, neither of them are in boring fights. The Mexican fanbase is there obviously. Give them $3Million a piece and make the fight happen. They are top 100 ATG's and if Bradley, Alexander, Berto, Ortiz are getting $1-2Million, these two old timers should be getting double.

I think there's much more of a case to say that Maidana won against Morales than Pac against Marquez ... As I've said, Morales has impressed me a lot, I thought he was done and that he should continue in the retirement, but right now I don't see how he's going to beat Marquez.
Morales has impressed me after his comeback, but after what I've seen last night from Marquez, he's going to destroy Morales.
I think everybody should stop using the word "destroy" from now on. "Maidana is going to destroy Morales!" and "Pacquiao is going to destroy Marquez!".... Look what happened. Weird thing I also noticed is both Pacquiao and Maidana won by Majority Decision. :cool2: It's a sign! lol
Have Morales put his 140 WBC title on the line. Both put on very surprising performances this year. Lets make it happen Cap'n!
Morales has juevos but he's much farther away from his prime as a boxer than is Marquez.
This would not be entertaining.
