Comments Thread For: Amir Khan-Juan Manuel Marquez is On The Table

[Iceta Lives]

I don't think Khan could handle JMM either. Hell, I think it's debatable whether or not he even deserves a top ten spot at either 135 or 140 if you don't take his win against Koeltnik into account that much. JMM has the power to turn his lights out and he's more experienced. That's all that matters.

I would love for Marquez to win but he has no business above 135. If they did fight I see Khan getting the decision. There is no way in hell they would ever give Marquez the win if they went to decision. Marquez would have to get the KO but I don't think Marquez has the strength to knock out Khan at 140+. Hopefully I am underestimating Marquez at 140+, knocking Khan out at 140 would send a message that Dinamita still got it.

Hopefully El Terible wins his next fight so we can see a possible fight between him and Dinamita.

Jr WW is 135 to 140. Why would they fight at 140+?

This is a pretty easy fight for Khan in my opinion. Khan's 2 inches taller than Mayweather and we all know what a mismatch that looked. I'm surprised if Marquez wants to be Khan's stepping stone. Come on Amir just fight bloody Maidana and then fight the winner of Hatton/Marquez or Paulie if he manages a good win against a proper LWW. If Khan vs Marquez is being considered as a headline bout then I don't think i'll bother buying the UK PPV, I want this as an undercard bout or something extra if this is Khan's first US bout because Khan is just too big for Marquez imo and I don't think Marquez can hurt Khan.

LMAO. Putting Khan and Mayweather in the same sentence. Did I miss something?

This would be a good one. Khan is overrated and being even taller than Mayweather it will look even better when JMM KO's his ass in the 10th.

I don't care how green Khan is---this is a fight he CAN win.

Ur gonna be so wrong
1. Marquez looked sluggish at this weight, he was out boxed for the first 7 or 8 rounds against Diaz

2. Marquez is getting older and a defeat by FMJ aint helped him

3. Khan is actually a skilled fast boxer, way better than Juan Diaz who is like a ricky hatton type with no power.

4 Khan is bigger and faster than Marquez, he can jab and move on him all night, make him tired and knock him the F Out!

The bolded is garbage.

Marquez is better than Maidana, but doesn't hit so hard. Why is Roach so scared for? Maidana is a ****er but he hasn't got skills as good as Khan. Khan looks much better than when he got KO'D in his boxing game and chin.

Because usually "****ers" do not need ultra skills to stop weak-chinned pressure-type fighters... As a trainer and advisor Roach is doing good! And it doesn`t matter if it makes Khan look bad... It is better to look bad then to go through physical pain and humiliation... Don`t believe Khan? - ask Floyd Mayweather

At 140 Khan wins. His height, reach, speed and obvious comfort with the weight will be too much for JMM.

JMM is my favourite fighter too, so i'd hate to see him take this unless it's at 135.

Khan's not top 10 at 140? Ok, name ten better fighters at 140 then...

[gingeralbino]

I gotta say im shocked at the majority of responses on this thread.

JMM less risky than Maidana? Are u out of your minds?
JMM ****s all over Maidana in every department except power. Just cos Mayweather won a shut out against him he's went from p4p#2 to useless? Wake up ffs.

Both Maidana and JMM have enough pop to put Khan to sleep. Who's more skilled and talented enough to land the required shots? JMM.

JMM is the riskier fight by a mile. And he'll beat Khan at this stage.

Khan should fight Maidana - he's his mandatory, and its the less riskier fight. Khan needs more experience before he can **** with the likes of JMM.

I'll give Khan his props for fighting either of these 2. I expect him to beat Maidana, but if he fights and beats JMM he'll be worthy of the hype.
