    In hindsight should JMM have taken the Amir Khan fight?

    The way Garcia was countering Khan last night i have no doubt that jmm would have knocked amir khan out. Jmm is much better than Garcia and he was able to easily touch khans chin......did jmm really believed he woulda been a stepping stone for khan? I never understood why JMM never took this fight......

    Marquez is smaller doesn't hit as hard as Garcia and Khan would have fought him smarter

      I don't think so, khan fights the same way, he would have thought he could beat up the old guy and jmm is a better combo puncher than Garcia

        that was the most aggressive i've seen Khan...he usually fights from the outside and uses his feet to dart in and out to throw combos


        he probably didn't respect Garcia's power and forgot about his chin issues


        he got caught with a lucky shot and never recovered


        he would be much more cautious if he fought JMM...especially after feeling that first counter combo he encounters...Garcia countered him a couple of times, and he didnt respect it

          .......yes

          Inb4 Marquez can't do what Garcia did because Garcia's wide looping counter hooks would be more effective than 16 punch combos on Khan's glass. Garcia is the new Julian Jackson.....

            You think khan would have beat jmm? The same jmm that just arguably beat PAC at ww last year?

              not sure...i think it would be a great fight but i was alluding to your reasoning...he wouldn't have fought that way against JMM...he wouldnt have stood toe to toe...not after eating those counter combos

              garcia's counter combos = lucky shot gets in
              JMM's counter combos = no luck, thats all day ****

                Agreed. Have to disagree with the TS here.

                  If Khan boxes like he did for Kotelnik, using his range and tapping shots and ducking out, it may win. However also at the time, people thought Khan had a chin, and a Khan with a chin is a hard mofo to beat.
