Related, of sorts.

Khan's camp gave 50 free tickets to returning UK servicemen.

I will never get over Cotto quitting, he broke my heart.

Morales broke my heart against Pacquiao as well

k i dont like alot of the **** the khan fans are spewing out in my mind it must be a rematch, But i dont want to go to bed feeling bitter so here it is, well done to Khan he is vastly improved and who knows maybe i will turn to the dark side in time and secretly like Khan but for now well done for this fight whats happend has happend and we cant change that so respect for tonight heres hoping that Barrera gets a rematch, in time the truth will always reveal itself

NO idea why people trip out when people give up. Sometimes you are just seriously outclassed and just flat out get your ass beat. For us fans, its easy to talk ****, but them guys are the ones feeling all them brutal hits. Sometimes i am glad some guys just say, ok i did my best and you are just better today. It eases the risks of seriously getting hurt.

Don't even talk to me about Juan Diaz. He wold get eaten alive by Amir.

Diaz would beat the **** out of Amir and prob knock him out. Khan wouldnt have lasted 6 rounds against Marquez

As for JMM, I dont think he'll be the Dec fight-which other LW champs are there?

[SceneSpectator!]

They only made it go 5 rounds so Khan could get the decision! They should of stopped it sooner. Khan should fight prescott again! This is a way overrated victory for Khan!!

Overrated??? it so happened that MAB was not the winner to make it fairly rated in your pesonal views.

2 years is asking too much from the great Marquez, I say make it at the end of the year. December 2009 for Marquez' Lightweight Championships! What you all think?

I really don't think Khan could possibly be ready for that level of opponent that quickly. Two fights ago, he was fighting like an amateur. He looked good tonight, but against a very small lightweight who is a shell of the fighter he once was, and the cut helped him as well, although he'd probably have won by a shut-out UD if it hadn't been for the cut.

Unfortunately (in my opinion), according to another poster in this thread, that does seem to be the timescale Warren has in mind. But from the point of view of Khan's career, I think it's much too rapid a jump in class, when he's only recently started to learn the fundamentals.

If he fights every 3 months, as he has been doing so far, then I think he'll be ready for that level of opponent around June 2010.

Marquez is just as small as Barerra and he IS 35 years old. I understand your point though. Maybe mid next year if Marquez doesn't turn old, but if he did turn old then what fun would that be, it would be like Khan vs Barrera all over again, catch my drift???

[fight_professor]

Only Warren knows the masterplan for sure, we can speculate based on what he says.

He said title fight by end of this year (interview on bbc)-so they are thinking big.

Small and 35 as JMM is, Khan has to have a decent shot in another 18 months time-making JMM 36.5 and increasingly worn.
