    As a JMM, I would love for him to go to 140 and fight for a title to become the first Mexican to do so. But the additional weight against a fighter who utilizes speed is too much of a problem. I don't think Kahn would try to fight JMM like he has his previous opponents. I think he would try to take a page out of Mayweather's book and potshot, pick his shots making sure he doesn't linger long enough for Marquez to counter him.

    Katsidis plays more into JMM's style and if Casa took him out, I think JMM can too. But it just wouldn't be a historic win for Marquez. It would not set him above Morales and Barrera.

      Katsidis was never even close to a career FW. Its a 2 division difference.

      Katsidis is a stout lightweight.

        Morales and Barrera failed at the higher weights. JMM is the recognized man at lw for almost 2 years now.

        That alone puts him ahead of them.

        They can't do what he does.

          jmm vs kat is the way forward

          khan needs to stop being a wanker and fight bradley,devon or madiana

          it wouldnt surprise me if jmm knocked khan out late in the rounds if they ever fought

            JMM needs guys that will at least fight with him a little bit. He's not natural on the chase.

            I think Khan would run a lot and try and potshot and the fight would suck balls.

              I don't follow much about who's over who between those three but from all of the fights I have downloaded/seen from the three, I like Marquez way more. I don't really care if they're over him historically. To me Marquez is the better well-rounded boxer.

                not one vote for the Khan fight yet; that's amazing lol... I voted for the Marquez-Katsidis that fight would be great... I don't wanna see marquez fight khan... Khan needs to fight Bradley or Maidana or gtfoh

                  two of my favourite boxers - JMM vs Katsidis at 135lb.


                  mouth watering thought.


                  fook khan't, let him go cherry picking in some old folks home in bolton for his next fight.

                    i agree mate,i dont want to see it

                    jmm and kat would be a war and then hopefully 3rd fight with manny,after that jmm could hang them up

                      I wouldn't mind either since Im a JMM fan, but if I had to choose one it would the Katsidis fight. It would be exciting, JMM would be at his best weight at the moment and watching him against the come forward kind of fighters is a thing of beauty. Khan would be interesting though because of Khan's chin and I think JMM could catch him at some moment and win a title at 140lb.
