You can tell that 135 is more than likely his max. Plus consider that JMM will be 37 this year with a lot of wear and tear on his body who's giving up 4 inches in height and a few inches in reach and this smells like a massive bullshit fight in Khan's favor.
And enough with the "he's 23 years old" crap. Guys like Foreman, Ali, Tyson, Leonard, Pacquiao, Mayweather, DeLahoya had already achieved a lot of success in the fight game by being lineal champs in 1 division or moving up and dominating another division at the same age!
The kid is nothing but a hype and con job. And I was starting to be a fan of his when I thought he was going to take Maidana, but an old and possibly shot JMM as his next opponent is a laugh.
How do we know Marquez doesn't look good past 135? He was up against Mayweather....probably the most talented fighter of a generation. How do you think Maidana would look against him? Much worse would be my guess.
The thing is, you're rating him as a con job and a hype job yet your using all time greats as yard-sticks to who he should be fighting.
This forum is unbelievable at times.
