Khan-Marquez in Dec & Bradley-Alexander Jan 2011

[ono]

Marquez has more of a chance of ko'ing Khan. He only has to get hit by somebody with average power as he proved against Willie Limond for him to be on queer street. This fascination with wanting to see him in with a very limited banger doesn't make any sense, seen as though Marquez should land quite frequently with good power.

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?

[Violent Demise]

ha exactly like I said. I told you all 18 months ago that by the end of 2010 Khan would take on Marquez and would beat him and everyone laughed at me, saying Marquez would kill him.

I explained that by the time it came around you'd all change your tunes and say Marquez was too old, too small, it was a handpick job for Khan etc, and I think it was Missy who told to get fucked and stop smoking.

Anyway, as you were...

I've changed nothing. Marquez still kills him

yeah his 2 wins were great for a fighter moving up in weight to lightweight, that still didn't make him a solid opponent for a guy another 2 divisions up(PBF) or even at light welter...
Personally I think he's no business fighting above lightweight, hopefully he proves me wrong and sparks Khan

How do you figure that? Didn't Manny move up, after arguably losing to Marquez, to the same welterweight weight class and then batter the fuck out of Miguel Cotto?

What you mean is that Mayweather beat Marquez easily therefore you can confidently state from your armchair that he obviously was no challenge.

Marquez was clearly far too small against Mayweather and Mayweather refused to even attempt to make weight. A total mismatch. Pac and Marquez are different fighters. Marquez is much older and been forcing himself to bulk up. Manny has done it in a way we have never seen before. Marquez went up in weight in a much more typical manner.

I want to see how Marquez looks against Diaz first and if he looks grand then bring on Khan. But Khan's team are a bunch of dicks. They look at the age, then the size and keep him away from threats. He hasn't really beaten anybody besides Malignaggi yet.

Yes his resume is piss poor compared to the othe 23 year old prospects out there. He'll be 24 in just under a year and he's only beaten one Hall of Famer and 3 world champs.

Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors. In an age of global belt expansion it isn't that hard to do. And he did not beat Barrera.

Yeah i know what you mean mate, what with all those other 23 year old fighters with much better resumes.

Marquez is a great fight for Khan. Dangerous too. If he can stop Casamayor and Diaz, he sure as hell can stop Khan. I don't get the waffling. Well i do purely down to the fact i'm used to reading it, but it sure as hell doesn't make any sense.

Yeah but Manny injected peds to move up while Marquez drank piss

hahahaha yeah there is that, Marquez really lucked out with his choice of training team

Ya, but Marquez has been through so much in the last few years. And after him fighting Mayweather, then having to drop back down in (2) weights etc etc. War Casamayor, War Diaz, war Pacquiao. His body is just going to quit.

Hell, I'm shocked everyone is writing off Juan Diaz. He has almost nothing to lose, he sounds more focused than ever, he's training hard, and dropping back down to a weight where he can impose his will.
