The sad part is...their goal has already been accomplished, Alexander and Bradley are gonna kill eachother, all the while Ortiz and Khan feast off bums/ undersized opposition. Also, I don't care what anyone else says, Maidana poses no kind of threat towards Khan. This is exactly why everyone wants a piece of Maidana at Jr WW.


    Khan should look to face Katsidis, I know Katsidis got dominated by Juan Diaz but Katsidis has greatly improved since then. He's sort of reminding me of Tyson. Marquez vs. Katsidis would be a war.
    There is nothing about Khan that concerns me in anyway against JMM outside of the natural size disparity.

    Katsidis is naturally closer in size to him, which is probably why they want JMM.

      There is nothing going for him in fighting a guy who will end up a career WW and maybe even a Junior MW by the time he's done.

      I feel GBP is setting JMM up as a big name for Khan to feast on the same way they did for the coward Mayweather.

      A big name fighter, who's too small and too old to pose a serious threat.

      Khan himself should be ashamed of himself in taking this fight fully knowing that not only is JMM nothing near a 140 pounder, but he's also old and on his way out.

      In my view, JMM is only damaging his legacy by fighting and probably losing to Khan not on skill, but on physical disadvantages and age disadvantages.

      If there is a more horribly mismanaged ATG in boxing, I can't think of him. JMM's handlers are bungling his career in making this match. I just hope he's compensated for it well.
      I dont like the fight either but I think the situation is more about JMM wanting to make as much money as he can before he retires. Ofcourse Golden Boy has gotten him more money in his last few fights than his whole career combined. JMM definately is about legacy first but who wants to be broke when its all said and done?, JMM gave our sport so much the least he can do is get "compensated for it well"
