Stay busy fight until they find other opponents... As I mentioned JMM wants top names.

Khan aside from money brings nothing to his legacy.
I mean absolutely nothing and that's what JMM is after.
The money is a plus.

Khans spees will giva just about anyone problems but doesn't mean much.

Mick I usally admire you boxing knowledge but you're way wide of the mark on this one.

Amir Khan very possibly just retired Marco Antonio Barrera. Forget the cut, forget whether he deserved the win, but those are the facts. He won, he won every single round on the judges scorecard and he's only 22 and an Olympic Silver Medalist.

Assuming Manny won't be fighting Marquez any time soon, Campbell has moved up, he's already dispatched both Casamayor and Diaz.

From a financial point of view, from a media interest point of view, from a name point of view who else is there out there bigger than Amir Khan?

You're saying he so many bigger options but what are they?

My bet is Marquez would most certainly agree to fight Amir Khan, relishing the chance to take on a young prospect who just defeated a legend and who has an Olympic medal, how could you possibly think otherwise?

Calzaghe fought Peter Manfredo to make some big money from the Contender fans you don't think Marquez would fancy a huge payday against a legend killer?

How many fighters defeat a legend and then don't go on to get a big world title fight?

Danny Williams went from nobody to fighting Vitali Klitschko after beating Tyson.

Whether you rate Khan or not the boxing world will much rather see Marquez fight Khan than they would Ali Funeka, Breidas Prescott, even Humberto Soto or Juan Guzman.

Why? Because he beat Marco Antonio Barrera. That's it, he's an Olympian, he's exciting, he can sell a shit load of tickets and is already a ppv star in the UK, and as I said before he beat Marco Antonio Barrera.

He jumps to the very top of the list of potential, lucrative opponents for Juan Manuel Marquez and my bet is Juan and his team would love that fight.

HBO would love it, they could easily hype a young 22 kid, an Olympic star and a Marco Antonio Barrera conqueror.

He's a promoters dream now.
