Juan Manuel Marquez vs Amir Khan @ 140 ::: Who Wins?

Khan by decision. The blueprint to beat Marquez has been produced, all Khan and Roach would have to do is to follow it. Khan is much younger and taller but Marquez would definitely give him problems. This is a fight I can really see happening as there would be money in it, it would make a lot of money in the UK or surely this would be the perfect main undercard fight for Pacquiao-Mayweather although they probably don't wanna spend any money on the undercard.Comment

JMM definitely has the power to do it but Khan's stick and move style might keep him out of danger early on in the fight. If JMM KO's Khan it'll probably be late rounds but Khan might be good enough now to prevent that from happening. It's one hell of a test.Comment

Marquez is the same size as Barrera and was at his best as a superfeatherweight/featherweight Khan has to strip down to make light welterweight and could fight at welterweight easily. Marquez is the same size as Barrera . In the Barrera Khan fight the size difference was a joke it was a ridiculous spectacle. Despite Marquez being a far better boxer I don't see him being able to overcome the size,reach and age disadvantage.Comment

Khan though taller than pbf by 2 inch surprisingly has a shorter reach by 1 inch. To be honest pbf have just shown us how to beat JMM. The question is if Khan can pull it off. It is evident that JMM is much slower at the light weight and above. Also JMM never been good as the aggressor in a fight got himself KD for attacking Barrera and Pacquiao but is an excellent finisher for KOing Casamayor and Juan Diaz after they got themselves in trouble.
This is how i picture the fight will happen, firstly Khan will box from a distance peppering JMM with left jabs, constantly moving, circling and jabbing with that left far from harms way. This will prove irritating to JMM and force him to attack, which in turn will be his downfall this is when Khan counter punches and shock JMM.
But I am not discounting the fact that JMM is a veteran that can adjust to his opponent and has the punchers chance against Khan. With Khan's lack of experience he may not be able to escape from JMM once he gets into trouble which means lights out for Khan.
All in all, IMO is a good game to watch.Comment

JMM never looked good against another counter puncher KD by Barrera and pbf. And can be counter punched by a brawler like pacquiao who is said to be one dimensional.Last edited by AFighter4U; 01-25-2010, 01:30 PM.Comment

JMM is a Warrior(though i hate his fighting style) who wants to challenge himself and is going for legacy fighting for a 4th division title which no Mexican has yet to attain.Comment
