Marquez v Khan nearly done deal for May 15th HBO

[Gandalf]

If Marquez has maintained the same form he showed against Casamayor and Diaz, then Khan is going to get starched quite badly. I hope the fight happens.

Khan doesn't deserve this oppertunity. He has done nothing to warrant being in there with a top p4p fighter. I'm sick of this bullshit that Roach is feeding us about how they want to build the Maidana fight. In truth, they want Maidana to get beat so they can avoid him like the plague. Khan's career thus far has been a complete con. It's bad for boxing. If ths fight happens, I truly hope Marquez lands the money shot and lays Khan on his back.

My only worry is now that Khan is a GBP fighter, JMM career is winding down. If they put in a ref that might favor some fast bullshit pitter patter combos they could do a bullshit stoppage. But that is just me speculating and completely unjustified

After the Mayweather Marquez fight, in a magazine over here in the UK called shortlist, it showed Mayweather taking a completely flush shot on the nose from Marquez, perfectly clear. Now if Marquez can land perfectly clear on Mayweather, then I'd say Khan is in deep water for sure but probably his speed will get him out. I'd even go as far as saying that Khan is faster than PBF, just without the chin..... Ha

If its the real Zab, Judah TKO 1, if it doesn't happen then I won't feel bad cause we'd know that it wasn't the real Zab.

I think they think JMM isn't as good coming forward, is old, etc., and Khan's feet will be way too fast, he'll move, turn, never let JMM get set and pitter patter his way to a win. They could be right but it might be a step too far. Zab TKO 1.

I couldn't handle another one of my favorite fighters, losing to Amir Khan. I mean P4P JMM eats Amir Khan alive, but this fight is taking place at 140 right ?

And IMO JMM hasn't really got the body shape, to move up successfully like Manny Pacquiao. And as we've seen vs FMJ he looked slow and fleshy around the midsection.

Freddie Roach is a smart man and i can't see him taking this fight, unless he really believes JMM is past his best, and the weightclass is a big disadvantage.

Plus lets look at the size difference here.

JMM

Height 5'7
Reach 67


Amir Khan

Height 5'10
Reach 71

Im not trying to be an ass here Ouma, but what is the real Zab Judah ? i don't think i've ever seen Zab Judah ever keep it together against an elite opponent for 12 rounds. Maybe against Cory Spinks but he wasn't pressured, in any of those fights.
