    JMM is one of my favourite fighters hands down. But pretending like he didnt turn down fighting Khan just because it upsets you is silly.
    doesn't upset me just the way I view the situation

      Pac = top of p4p list's, WAY more money, bitter rival

      fight vs Khan = some guy who wants to make a name for himself fighting you, less money, and if you win they will say he beat a overrated fighter if you lose you lost to a guy KO'd by a bum
      No doubt. But he wasnt fighting Pacquaio every fight. He could've fought Khan instead of Diaz, Katisdis or Ramos. But he didnt.

      Too risky.

        the only time zone a fight could have been made was in 2010 but imo Khan was still rebuilding his career and JMM fought once that year vs Katsidis and then was out due to injury

          The fight could've been made when Khan offered it.

          But JMM turned it down.

            Uh No.He didn't fight you to pursue a bigger draw then you,a bigger name then you,an opponent who actually BRINGS ppvs unlike you,he got paid more then you,need I go on? Ducking isn't even in marquezs radar.He's fought the two top elites and has never been embarrassed unlike the way prescott did to khan.

              like I said, he also turned down the Berto and Canelo fight.
              It wasn't just because of Khan.


              He had other ambitions
