Thread: Khan-Marquez in Dec & Bradley-Alexander Jan 2011

Ross Greenburg from HBO interview on espn about future HBO fights

Ross Greenburg, HBO looking forward to second part of '10 - ESPN

Looks like zero heaveyweight fights for the forseeable future as well LOL

Bradley-Alexander would be a great fight, think Bradley takes it on the cards.
As for Khan, sounds about right him going after a smaller guy as usual, god forbid they ever
put him in with anyone his own size who can punch

Khan's team picking on lightweights.

After his win over Paulie, they wanted Katsidis and Casamayor and when they fights didn't go down they decided to wait on the winner of Marquez/Diaz 2 (which will be Marquez).

All those fighters i mentioned are natural lightweights.

At this point it's clear Khan's choice of opponent is either too old, too small, have no power or are not close to good enough to beat him. Khan's last 5 opponents will at least equal to one of the things i named previously.

Khans last 5 opponents
Fagan ( Useless although i give Khan the benefit of the doubt because he was coming off his devestating first loss )
Barrera ( Old and Small)
Kotelnik ( Top 10 JWW and had a title but no power)
Salita (Useless)
Malignaggi ( top 5 JWW but No power)

If Khan's next opponent is Marquez, he will probably be too old and small to beat Khan especially when we don't know how much he has left after Mayweather beat him up.

Khan should be fighting Marcos Maidana next, simple as.

I hope Katsidis gets his shot at JMM.
If not where does that leave him? Who now?

If cotto does fight margacheato i hope he brings the end of Margs career closer.

Khan's people won't go anywhere near Katsidis, that would just be too dangerous a fight for Khan. A humiliating defeat at the hands of the little K man and Khan's marketabilty goes down the toilet. He will pick smaller, washed up or lower ranked fighters at least for the next 12 months.

So much for Khan-Maidana.

God please no i already had to have one of my favorites lose to Amir Khan, please not JMM aswell. JMM isn't even a natural Lightweight, what is it with boxing today. Pick on someone in your own weightclass.

Marquez has more of a chance of ko'ing Khan. He only has to get hit by somebody with average power as he proved against Willie Limond for him to be on queer street. This fascination with wanting to see him in with a very limited banger doesn't make any sense, seen as though Marquez should land quite frequently with good power.

Marquez is a solid opponent for Mayweather at 147 but he isn't good enough for Khan at 140? How highly must you all be rating Khan.

Marquez was hardly a solid opponent for PBF. I doubt anybody on here thinks that but I totally see your point. Marquez is P4P afterall and a class act. He will land plenty punches on Khan but maybe that's what GBP want. They can then assess Khan's chin against admitidly a smaller guy but no means a soft puncher.

I don't think anyone thought Marquez was a solid opponent for Mayweather and it show'd he was way to small. As for not been good enough for Khan, sure he's a better p4p fighter but he's not the biggest lightweight and he's giving away 3 inch in hight and about 4 inch in reach against a light welter in Khan...
Since been sparked by Prescot, Khan has beaten a bum, a small Barrera by headbutt and didn't have the decency to give him a rematch, and 3 guys who have no punch power and now he's going after a guy much smaller than him again... wow what a great champion

If this is a semi final and Khan fights the winner of Bradley v Alexander then this is good match making.

ha exactly like I said. I told you all 18 months ago that by the end of 2010 Khan would take on Marquez and would beat him and everyone laughed at me, saying Marquez would kill him.

I explained that by the time it came around you'd all change your tunes and say Marquez was too old, too small, it was a handpick job for Khan etc, and I think it was Missy who told to get fucked and stop smoking.

Anyway, as you were...

timing is everything (& he's still a cunt & so is his ginger cripple sidekick)

Of course Khan would want this fight, its just another legend on his P4P resume.
