Comments Thread For: Khan vs. Marquez Fight is Likely Off, Amir is Moving On

And you notice of how Schaffer doesn't even mention Bradley or Alexander in this statement. He's shook when it comes to putting his fighters in with those guys. This is why Alexander being on HBO is going to be a big plus for him because you would think HBO would be forced to lay their foot down on this corrupt ass company. Bradley needs to try to convince Shaw to let him fight on HBO too. If Dawson can, then why can't Bradley?

That girl in your avi has ABSOLUTELY NO ASS.... At All... What's the point of that picture, really

JMM is not only small at 140, and old at almost 40, he also got his ass beat in his last fight. I mean, at least fight a guy who won his last fight. This is exploitation plain and simple. The only way JMM makes any money is to fight younger, bigger fighters, while it's quite the opposite for Khan. Welcome to America.

well said.
its a shame what GBP is trying to do to JMM.

khan should fight maidana

nacho is right tho... i felt the same way on it... using him as a steppin stone....

richard is a greedy guy.. he'll b on som1's nuts 1 day then turns his back on him... oh well
its a business..

Ricky Hatton? Edwin Valero? It's not really a bad move. JMM can make some money elsewhere. Valero/Marquez is a dream fight. It's gotta happen.

when all the real fights break down you know what to do. bring in urango or malignaggi to lose. the hbo special. since urango is already scheduled to lose you know who is getting the call.

Khan should definitely fight an American fighter imo. That way it'll raise his profile in the USA even more.

I think he should take on Kendall Holt (25-3), providing he gets through his fight with Mabuza on 27th Feb. It'll be a good fight, though I have Khan winning comfortably. Holt, providing he doesn't get injured, would have 2 1/2 months to prepare so he could probably take a week or two off and then get back into the gym. It's asking a lot but he'll be guaranteed a good payday and I don't think he'll pass up on a title-shot.

I think another option is Lamont Peterson (27-1). No doubt he'll jump at the chance for another title shot. This would be an interesting fight because we can compare Khan's and Bradley's performances against Peterson and see who did better. Khan has more pop than Bradley, and a tiny bit more speed, so maybe he could stop Peterson, considering Bradley knocked him down.

A fight with Paulie Malignaggi (27-3) would be the most high-profile and generate the most money though.

Mike Alvarado (26-0) is another option but he's unknown to a lot of people, Khan would blow him away inside 4 rounds too imo.

But, like I said, I think Kendall Holt would be best for him right now.

Amir Khan should just step & defend his title against Maidana. Golden Boy couldn't get Paulie & now they muffed on trying 2 get Marquez 2 fight him.

Amir Khan should just step up 2 the plate & defend his title against Maidana. Golden Boy couldn't get Malignaggi & now they muffed on trying 2 get Marquez 2 scrap with him. Smh.

Thought you were talking about Khan/Valero for a sec, I don't think that would be wise for Amir right now.

Hatton is the fight JMM should take, the most money out there beside maybe Pac, and much more winnable.

I'm pretty sure Nacho is one of the worst managers in the sport today. Can't believe Marquez passed this up.

your an idiot... marquez is a featherweight not a welterweight, obviously marquez cares about winning and not just get a paycheck... go sit down.
