    Are you talking about 21 year old prospect Amir Khan with 18 fights fighting unified champion Diaz and hard hitting Katsidis?

    Or are you saying Amir would never go down to 135 to fight Diaz and Katsidis now?

      On top of that Nacho said that Amir is too young, big and fast for JMM and he doesn't want JMM to fight Khan. FACT.

      Khan is bigger and faster, nobody is denying that. It's just that fans like you think that JMM was avoiding Khan, in reality there's nothing there for JMM.

      JMM wants one thing and that's Pac, he understands any fight before that at a high risk isn't worth taking because one loss and he's out of the running. I don't think he will ever get Pac again but he seems to think he still has a chance.

        Khan by fairly easy decision. just a bad style matchup for Marquez, especially at this point in his career.

          That Khan who fought at LW would never have fought either fighter..I also don't know about 18 fight pro being a prospect anymore..Khan's next fight after being KO'd was against MAB at LW..No excuses,the fact is Khan never did fight any of umm and I really doubt he had any plans to fight any of umm..

            I've never said that JMM is ducking Khan. JMM doesn't need to prove anything by fighting Khan. But what I am saying is that JMM declined the fight because of what Amir brings to the table (I guess high risk/lower reward if you compare it with fighting Floyd or Pac).

              He also want another belt in another div and Khan had that..Listen I like Khan but I'm not a big fan of his..So I'm un-bias in this..I will tell you JMM ducked/avoided Khan,the risk far out weighs the reward in that kinda fight for JMM..He loses to Khan there is no Pac fight,and really no reason for him to move up to 140lb..His best fight at 140lb right now is Judah..A winnable fight with a belt on the line,Khan's style will be very hard for JMM to beat..

                If you're 21 years old, have only had 18 fights and have never been in the ring with a top 10 fighter in your weight class, you're a prospect.

                Amir fought the past prime overblown MAB to bring himself back in the limelights again after the KO.

                Amir moved up to 140 and fought Kotelnik after and never returned because he understood that 140 was his ideal weight class. You're making it out to be as if Amir ducked Katsidis and Diaz, .

                  Marquez stops Khan without a doubt. Marquez has superior boxing skills and has the power to knock him out, which i think he will.

                    c'mon man. just cause morales had a close fight against an unskilled limited brawler in maidana doesn't mean morales has a chance to beat someone as skilled and fast as jmm.

                      Never said that Khan ducked either fighter,did not want it to come off that way..This was all in response to you saying that JMM fought LESSER fighters in Diaz and Kat's..I said in all fairness Khan would/did not fight(at LW)either fighter..Not saying Khan is a duck or anything like that just some facts,we can't bash JMM for taking those fights that was what was there for him as he enter the LW div..
