Yes Marquez skills have eroded a bit and yes Khan is a clear favorite but Marcos Maidana a hard punching brawler being a bigger challange is mind boggling. Marquez would be hands down the smartest fighter Khan ever faced and if anyone knows how to counter speed in that division it's Marquez. I'm not saying Marquez would win but i am saying it would be a very tough fight for Khan and by no means be any easier then fighting Maidana, Bradley, or Alexander.
      U need to quit fooling youself,, "any easier then fighting Maidana, Bradley, or Alexander...If that was the case then why isn't he begging for a fight with either of them guys..A boxer can have all the smarts, but if you don't have the tools to do it, then your clearly at a disadvantage....

        Maybe because he's picking on LW, past prime fighter, and JMM is not competitive at anything over 135.

        Why is he going to fight JMM when he called out Marcos, Devon, and Bradley?

        Remember guys, Khan said he only wants to fight big name fighters, when they're past their prime and coming on the downside. He said this in an interview.

          Man people must have really been overestimating Marquez's wins over Casayamor and Diaz big time because at the time no one would have picked Khan to beat Marquez . He gives all he can against a bigger opponent in Mayweather and loses wide , now he's shot? Dont get me wrong i'd much rather see a Maidana fight but people are really underestimating Marquez in this one , Khan won't walk through him but he'll win IMO .

            No one is saying JMM is shot, he should not fight above 135 because he will not do good. Khan is cherry picking here, he should fight someone at 140 or get his ass down to 135 if he wants JMM that bad.

              Khan's not wanting anybody 'that bad'. he's fighting whoever GBP put in front of him. When are people gonna start understanding this fact? Even if Khan wanted any of the top guys this saturday night, unless GBP makes the deal and sorts it out, there will be no fight.

              GBP are the ones that are protecting him and building his name. They want money and Khan is a cash cow for them.

              GBP need to give Khan what he wants, as thats what we, the boxing fans want... BIG fights!
