    I got the Panamanian to KO/TKO the Irishman...

    I agree Cordoba is a monster. Dunne is a decent fighter, but not near enough power to keep Cordoba honest.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Having a win over Celestino "THE TOWERING INFERNO" Caballero is quite an impressive achievement... Cordoba is one reason why the 122 division is one of the hottest division in boxing right now...

    Just look at these names; Israel Vazquez, Celestino Caballero, Juan Manuel Lopez, Gerry Peñalosa, Rafael Marquez, Ricardo Cordoba, Poonsawat Kratingdaeng, Jhonny González... to name a few...

    Must admit never seen Cordoba fight, but I do like the carnival atmosphere that Dunne brings with him and a packed Irish crowd cheering to the rafters will have me rooting for Dunne and hoping everything goes Hunky Dory

    Yeah actually this highlights the point I was making with CutMeMick about Khan fighting Marquez.

    He thinks the fight would never happen and it would be a sell out for Marquez to take it but he's simply underestimating the appeal of popular fighters. Dunne got sparked in a round just like Khan to a fighter who has since twice been beaten by a decent domestic level Brit in Munroe yet its Bernard Dunne because of his popular appeal that not only gets the world title shot but also has the bargaining power to drag the champ over here.

    Now look at Amir Khan, who has achieved far more than Bernard Dunne being an Olympic Silver Medalist and boasting a win over a legend in Barrera (whatever the circumstances). He's more popular in the UK than Dunne is in Ireland even capable of doing PPV's on Sky Box Office.

    The media interest in a fight between Marquez and Khan would be huge. If it was in American it would be a FAR bigger attraction and an easier sell than any of the other challengers left out there, Funeka, Prescott, Peterson, De Marco etc.

    In fact unless Marquez gets Manny again or rematches Juan Diaz I cannot see a bigger opponent for him than Amir Khan.

    He will have to move up to jump weight classes again and fight at a catchweight against another divisional star as there simply arn't any other big fights for at lightweight, and none that come close to the money making potential and media appeal than Khan.

    Don't get me wrong I don't believe that Khan is ready for Marquez but I'm certain if Warren wanted to negotiate terms with Marquez, only a third fight with Pacquaio would stop Marquez and his team from being all over it. They may even come to the UK to fight him as I'd imagine Khan is a bigger box office draw than J M Marquez even if he is the second best fighter on the planet.

    I fully agree Master Bilbo... If you can lure a boxing legend (Barrera) to fight you in your own backyard then it says a lot about your drawing power...

    I'm sure with moderate money (maybe $333,333 US dollars), Team Khan can convince JMM to fight Amir in the UK... JMM fought one time in Indonesia (Far East) for US $30,000 and lost to local hero Chris John...
