Will Khan be able to handle Marquez?

[Pugilistic]

Some people are seriously underating Marquez since his loss to Mayweather if they think Khan can beat him.

Marquez was outclassed by Mayweather who was naturally bigger, faster, stronger and........better.

Khan is nothing like Floyd expect in the speed department.

Khan has improved over his last four fights but has he improved enough to deal with someone of Marquez's skill level ? hell no imo.

Marquez has proved he can deal with fighters faster and naturally bigger than him (Pacquiao) so why would he have trouble with Khan who is a level or two below Pacquiao ?

Marquez stops Khan imo.

Have to disagree with a few things there mate first off the adavntages Mayweather had over Marquez are more or less the same advantages Khan has you like speed, power, naturally bigger and stronger all them apply to Khan.

Marquez has fought above 130 three times and only once over 135 and is or will be 37 years old he isnt improving Khan is, Marquez is an amazing fighter and someone I love to watch but imo Khan if he sticks to the gamplan can beat Marquez at 140 which is not natural at all to Marquez who had never been near 135 until he was 35.

Also you say he has dealt with bigger guys in the past like Pac?? Bigger in what way?? Marquez is 1/2 an inch bigger in height and only an inch shorter in reach so hows Pac a bigger man??

The main problem for Marquez against Mayweather wasn't just weight, it was the fact that Mayweather was the superior counter puncher and took Marquez apart because of it.

Khan doesn't possess the counter punching ability or defense, all he has that is comparable is handspeed and footwork.

Obviously the move up in weight will make Marquez slower which was clear against Floyd but, one thing Marquez has showed while moving up in weight is that he carries power and with Khan's leaky defense and glass chin, i think even a tiny Marquez can take advantage of it.

If Marquez was to land a few of these:



Ignore the fact Mayweather lands also , i can't see Khan being able to take alot of them.

Regarding my opinion on Pacquiao being bigger, height and reach aren't the only factors.

Look at the difference in success both fighters have had while moving up in weight.

Pacquiao is grinding down natural welterweights.

Marquez was struggling with lightweights.

Pacquiao has been more effective because he has been able to fill out more and maintain his speed, power, etc while the smaller Marquez could only move up so much before his speed took a hit.

I think Pacquiao could even be effective at 154 where Marquez's limit at the moment appears to be 135.
