Amir Khan Targets Juan Manuel Marquez After Salita

[PittyPat]

Khan has power.

He has a sharp 'pop' to his punches (kinda like Ortiz or Bradley), but not devastating power. At least not at 135. He's quick enough to score KDs, but when it comes to hard-headed opponents he won't be getting brutal KOs. I'm absolutely sure of that.

How many fights have you watched of Khan's?

3?

I have been following the majority of Khans career. Actually one of [Bmy favorite fighters. One of the few rooting for him against Barerra. However, saying Khan is faster than pacquiao is untrue. There is video evidence. You know another guy who knew what he was talking about was Steward; who said Naseem Hamed hits as hard as a heavyweight.

Show me video evidence.

Can't he just have power without being able to brutally KO opponents?

Well, I measure "power" by straight-up KOs from which opponents do not make the count or are on spazzy legs. Accumulation stoppages (of which Khan has plenty) aren't a good measure of power - although obviously he has enough speed to overwhelm an opponent and force a ref jump.

jmm is far from barrera level yet . He could give khan all he could handle imo

I dont see it, not with Roach coming up with the game plan, he will have Khan maximizing his physical advantages of speed & reach and he will most probably peck away at the stationary JMM whos reflexes are not very good at this stage.

Pre Freddie Roach, JMM would eat khan alive, but since he's hired Roach as his trainer he has improved a lot. khan's constant movement without losing much endurance through 12 rounds with Kotelnik and solid defence shows me that he would win a decision against jmm right now.

What a ***** he is already trying to duck maidana. He already knows he gona knocked out by him. He needs to fight people in their prime. He is trying to do what manny did fight people at the end of their career I think it might be Freddy who's advising them.

[D-MiZe]

He's not ducking anybody.

He doesn't decide who he fights.

Khan would embarrass maidana.
