I'm not saying he is a legend killer mate I'm just saying how the fight would be hyped.
Beating Khan may or not add to Marquez's legacy but how many fights in a boxers career can be legacy definers?
Marquez has just fought back to back against Pacquaio, Casamayor and Juan Diaz, three huge fights. You don't think he might want to take an easier fight and still make the same money?
I reckon he'd actually make more for fighting Khan than he did for Casamayor and Diaz, seriously.
Khan is the second biggest draw in British boxing behind Ricky Hatton and people are queueing up to fight him.
Khan is an Olympian, a top prospect, fast and exciting and he's beaten Barrera.
That makes him a marketer's dream matchup.
Providing Amir doesn't fuck it up by getting sparked in his next fight, which lets face it is never out of the realms of possibility I'd say this fight WILL happen AND it will be huge.
And how can you say you'd be 'disgusted'? Can you name any other fighter in recent times who beat a legend and didn't get a title fight off the back of it?
