My views as stated earlier, were more on the handicap of which I consider quite severe to overcome, facing JMM in a bout against Amir Khan.
Amir has size that seemingly is being way overlooked here by some.
How tall is Amir, 5'11"? That is an imposing stature at light-welter, 140, by any means of imagination. Goodness, Khan is even being groomed, or in the process of, by the Wildcard Group, to compete for belts at jr middleweight in the not so distant future.
We can put blinders but it'd still be a blunder, to proclaim JMM can hurdle this "Amir obstacle", just by our sheer memory of the fighting qualities of the HOF fighter, in Juan Manuel.
Seriously though, with proper perspective, that is quite a bit of "size" for Juan to deal with while being out of his most competitive division at 130-135lbs. To expect JMM to handily win might just be a case of too much optimism? Maybe.
If the fight is at 130-135, my money is on Juan Manuel Marquez, regardless....
