Also I think the timing may just be right for Khan, not as blatant as the Barrera fight, but still tipping in Khan's favour.

    Manny caught out a better and younger JMM initially with his speed in their first fight, Khan do something similar for me. Also, and I appreciate that it's hard to judge any fighter on his last performance when their opponent is Floyd, but for me JMM showed signs that he got old that night. Weight issues aside, he just didnt really offer anything, and that suprised me. Maybe Roach knows this, in the same way he knew Oscar was finished during the Stevie Forbes fight, and struck whilst the iron was hot, or cold as the case may be.

    No your not matey.

    While JMM isn't an old shot Barrera, he has still had wars and that's going to take it out of you. I also think the 140 is too big for him. At his age weight making isn't a struggle because the body is naturally growing more muscular, it's because metabolism has slowed and it's harder to get those pounds off. Marquez also has a habbit of starting slow so Iwould expect Khan to jump on him and try and blast him out in the first few rounds.

    These factors put with Khan's hight and reach advantage.......

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love JMM to put Khan on his sorry ass, but really Khan and Roach wouldn't take this fight unless they thought they'd win it.

    I suspect the strategy will be much the same as when they fought Barrera....they will also be looking for this to be a re-run of JMM vs PBF.

    Hopefully we wont get a lucky headbutt
