Amir Khan Wants To Snatch Marquez Fight From Hatton - Boxing News
He's being offered a fight with JMM and says he wants it. Roach says Maindana too dangerous and not well known. I sure wonder what happened to the Maidana fight? I thought that was a done deal. Also Diaz and Malinaggi are the other possible fights. Same old Khan.
I still think Marquez kills him. I thought Diaz was going to tramble Juan Manuel and it just DIDN'T happen.
Seriously if this happens it crazy khan has 0 chance, why are people saying JMM all of a sudden is too old? He loses to the p4p king and he becomes too old and rubbish? wtf! Hehad a great fight with Diaz last year where he showed he still has it. I can see khan getting KTFO!:D
Funk im bias! lol
I think Marquez is too small and too old for faster bigger and stronger guys.Quote:

Roach never said he was too dangerous. Marquez is a step up so I buy Roach's actions with taking the chance against a named guy.Quote:

Khan thinks he has another Barrera fight in the works. Lightning will not strike twice here though. Marquez will soak up a little powderpuff, before walking through Khan and knocking him out once and for all.
That's if the fight gets made mind.
amir beating marco gave him confidence on taking jmm next
khan is not ready for jmm.
Marquez has a better chance of beating Khan that Maidana does. This could be a big mistake, but it's a typical high risk/high reward fight.
I think JMM wins this one by stoppage. Fair play to Khan for wanting the fight. Makes more business sense than a fight against Maidana. Khan can come back if he loses to Marquez, but i'm not so sure he can if he loses to Maidana.
I must be the only one that favours Khan in this one. I think his 4" reach advantage and quicker hands could cause JMM problems from the outside. Freddie Roach doesnt get much wrong when it comes to working out the stylistic stakes in potential match-ups. Also I think the timing may just be right for Khan, not as blatant as the Barrera fight, but still tipping in Khan's favour.
Manny caught out a better and younger JMM initially with his speed in their first fight, Khan could do something similar for me. Also, and I appreciate that it's hard to judge any fighter on his last performance when their opponent is Floyd, but for me JMM showed signs that he got old that night. Weight issues aside, he just didnt really offer anything, and that suprised me. Maybe Roach knows this, in the same way he knew Oscar was finished during the Stevie Forbes fight, and struck whilst the iron was hot, or cold as the case may be.

At least JMM has been active unlike when Barrera fought Khan.:cool:
Interesting match-up if it comes off.
I'm still calling Khan a puta.;D
I would favor Khan in this one. JMM is 36, will be 37 this year, and fighting at 140 against someone who is sleek of hand and foot. Yes JMM was the lineal champ at 135 but he had to really dig deep against Casamayor and Diaz to win those fights. I feel 140 is a tad too much especially against an younger and bigger guy.
Roach knows when to take certain fights when the other guy looks weak or finished. See Delahoya-Pac, Khan-Barerra, as prime examples. Roach knows when certain guys are ripe to be picked.
