Amir Khan Targets Juan Manuel Marquez After Salita

[mines a pasty]

A Khan vs Marquez fight would be a wonderful match up in my opinion. I wouldn't see Khan having too many problems winning, his advantages of speed, power and reach are too big a task for Marquez to conquer. It would be a fantastic spring board into marque boxing for Khan, which could lead to the bright lights of Vegas.

I'd go as far as saying it would be an easy fight for Amir.

khan vs marquez could put Khan on the map globally.

with roach by his side.. I think he has a legit shot.

Very interesting, but sorry to say that they were poor examples. Manny was just shadowboxing, and a guy can blaze like a meteor whilst shadowboxing. What impressed me there was his footwork and ring movement.

Khan was "sparring" I believe just for the camera, very fast hands but it was a glorified mitts-pads exercise, with the sparring partner, signalling where to hit, and gloing through motions etc.

Yep, I think just for the cameras

you sound like ricky hatton mocking floyd during the mayweather/hatton 24/7...

You'll need to provide examples of that, then. Otherwise this statement ain't holding much ground, despite Roach's (Parkie blind?) opinions.

Roach actually looks at vids and can see very well. He notices things that most of us miss. Khan seems to thro straight and that would gie him speed an advantage.

The point is that both Pac and Khan are much faster than JMM. If JMM did not have to pack on all that extra weight to fight Mayweather, he would make it competitive. He will have to lose 15 pounds first which will hurt him like it hurt Roy Jones after the Ruiz fight. I don't like JMM's chances in a fight with Khan, he will get out manuevered and out speeded al night.

make it at 135 and we have a fight...

JMM was already struggling against Diaz and like most of you are saying..if only Diaz had more power he would've been able to dispose of JMM

JMM at 135 is already lethargic...how bout more at 140

the best way to see how much JMM has slipped is to have him fight a slow poke fighter at 140...i can assure you that JMM would look even slower

you know roach wont do that he knows that jmm is not at his best above 135 and that is one of the reasons he will take this fight at 140 do you really think roach would put khan in with the guy who took pac to hell in back if he thought he didnt have some kind of advantage he could use to his benefit much like against oscar and how he tried to do against cotto. roach is a smart trainer and if he can get his fighters opponent at a disadvantage he will

If Khan beats Salita which he probaly will, he should fight Maidana then maybe Marquez.

So Maidana should come first!!

[Lacrimosa]

Jeez is this guy going to spend his entire career fighting faded Featherweight legends ?

Very accurate observation

Personally i think, Khan should fight Bradley

[dorruel2.0]

Maidana Knocks Khan out. The Ortiz that fought Maidana knocks Khan out as well. Khan cant take a shot for ****eee
