    Khan 149lbs in the ring in his last fight.

    Marquez 150lbs in the ring in his last fight

    Are you sure about that?

      JMM 5'7, Khans around 5'10/11 ontop of that Khan's getting bigger with every fight he has which is understandable since he's only 25.

      Plus JMM was fighting in the ww divsion in his last fight not LW like Khan. If Khan was fighting at WW he'd be much bigger.

        Marquez looked good at 150 vs Pac actually but Amir is the taller, rangier guy and more natural at the weight even if he didnt balloon up quite the same, he does tho as seemingly he was up in the 150's vs Mallinaggi

          They would be fighting at 140lbs, so you can expect Marquez to be 150lbs again.

          Tyson was 5'10 and Williams is 6'2 but I think we all know who the bigger man is.

            Can JMM fight this way effectively?
            Nope look at the Mayweather fight...

              Comparing a natural featherwieght to a stocky 15 stone fighter is ******ed. But whatever if you think Marquez is the bigger fighter good for you. At 140 or above Khan is the bigger man not to the extremes of what Margarito was against Pac but still the slightly bigger fighter who imo still is'nt fighting as his natural weight.

                I would still prefer Khan, the way to beat khan or be effective against him is to be very aggressive like Peterson but JMM game is to counter punch more and cannot be as aggressive as Peterson was.

                  Khan has no power hes all speed and volume like Calzaghe. Both ****s. Khan is too fragile for Marquez. Marquez would put him to sleep.

                    Marquez doesn't have the coordination/foot work it takes to get him in close enough to be effective against taller fighters with a longer arm reach. On the other hand, Khan isn't a very polished fighter. A lot of times when Khan misses a punch, he falls in on his opponent. Khan gets away with that against B and B- fighters. Marquez is an A fighter and is one of the best counter punchers in the sport. I can see Khan missing a punch and falling in on one of Marquez's beautiful counter punches That would be a rookie mistake that Marquez would make Khan pay heavily for.
