i dont think so it becomes a duck if he fights a guy who doesnt bring more to the table (money or exposure) then maidana would. otherwise in my opinion it doesnt make sense for khan to turn down a fight with jmm to fight maidana when that fight could be made at a later date -
Okay am back, Made my mind up now, a duck IS a duck especially when the fighter you're fighting is your mandatory, The reason everyone excuse his last fight was because he had to fight salita so why not now???Comment

your saying that as a fan and i could understand why hardcore fans would rather watch khan maidana for the style match up and knowing the fact that jmm is not the same fighter at above 135 not to mention his age but you have to look at it from team khans point of view that would just be ****** to turn down that kind of exposure and payday for khan just to prove to the hardcore fans you didnt duck a guyOriginally posted by Ray` View PostComment

A lot of other boxers in Khan's situation alway go with the money/fame etc so i wouldnt blame him if he does go the same way but it would still be a duck since maidana is the mandatory.Comment

It is, but if he fights Marquez he cant be blamed. I mean ,bigger expoure, more money, better win on paper.Comment

If you consider the impact this will have on Khan legacy-wise and money-wise, winning against marquez >>>>>> winning against maidana. Losing against a future HOF'er>>>>>>>losing against a no-namer (no disrespect to Maidana, of course)Comment

build up the JMM fight!
khan vs maidana: khan doesnt make ortiz's mistake and trade, wins by late TKO
JMM vs katsidis: JMM lures in the aggresive kat, KO's him in 6
Khan vs JMM: after being out quicked early on, JMM lands a left hook to wobble him, finishes khan off in 'workman-like fashion'Comment

No, but Marquez KOs Khan.Comment

Marquez is still a good fighter above 135, and a better fighter than maidana...I can't see khan making that fight happen,, props to him if he does..but it gotta be maidana...Comment

Not at all, for a couple of reasons. One being that Khan is a young fighter so right now he fights who his management team puts in front of him.
Secondly, Khan has said he wants a lot of exposure in the United States. Marquez was just on PPV in his fight with Mayweather, and 1 million homes bought that fight and even more people watched it. Not to mention, he was also on the 24/7 series so people know Marquez's background and story. Even the average casual fan knows who Marquez is now, but even some regular boxing fans would have a hard time picking out Maidana in a line-up.
Last but not least, a fight with Marquez is a much tougher fight for Khan than the fight with Maidana. Remember that styles make fights. Maidana has a lousy style, he's very wild and open to counters and if I recall correctly he hit the canvas a couple of times against V. Ortiz. Now contrast that with Marquez: a guy who won a majority of the rounds in his fights with Pacquiao, a guy who Mayweather (a welterweight) could not even knock out, a guy who just hammered Casamayor and Juan Diaz. So no, I definitely do not think it would be a duck to fight Marquez, I actually see it as a much more difficult fight.
For Khan, beating Maidana leads to a 'pat on the back' from the boxing world; beating Marquez leads to 'money in his lap' from the boxing world.Comment
