I don't think he needs Marquez just yet. He needs at least one solid, world level opponent first to give him that experience, and also the inner confidence needed.
My guess is that if he beats his March opponent on the Pacquaio Floyd undercard and looks good he may well get one summer fight in before a big showdown with Marquez this time next year.
He could well go into that fight the bookies favourite.
To be fair though mate at the time Khan was still at 135 and Marquez had just blasted out Diaz now Khan seems to be bigger and stronger at 140 and Marquez looked a bit soft and way above his natural weight at 145, I think at 135 Marquez wins.
But I suppose what has happened recently and the progress Khan has made with Roach makes it very possible Khan can use his physical advantages to win this fight.
I think it could well happen especially if Marquez fights Hatton which I think he wins it would make sense to make the fight.
