Marquez is a solid opponent for Mayweather at 147 but he isn't good enough for Khan at 140? How highly must you all be rating Khan.

I don't think anyone thought Marquez was a solid opponent for Mayweather and it show'd he was way to small. As for not been good enough for Khan, sure he's a better p4p fighter but he's not the biggest lightweight and he's giving away 3 inch in hight and about 4 inch in reach against a light welter in Khan...
Since been sparked by Prescot, Khan has beaten a bum, a small Barrera by headbutt and didn't have the decency to give him a rematch, and 3 guys who have no punch power and now he's going after a guy much smaller than him again... wow what a great champion
Of course he was a solid opponent. He'd just come off ko'ing two of the best lightweights. If you don't think that makes him a solid enough opponent for someone who had a 2 year lay off, then you have to admit it's a solid opponent for a fairly decent light-welterweight? Shirley?
