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.
