Khan Vs. Marquez

[Onix]

We've gotten a look at both guys this year. Khan is def faster but Marquez I think is the harder puncher and has a better chin.

its either Marquez by KO or Khan by decision, either way good fight

Thought?

[generalbulldog]

Khan is taking Marquez at the right time and right situation. JMM is 37 with lots of wear and tear not to mention if the fight takes place it will be at 140. All of this favors Khan. Not to mentioned Khan is calling out Marquez but is pretty mum on guys like Bradley, Alexander, and Maidana, guys that are naturals at 140 that poses great danger. Khan is doing this because he knows he has a great shot at winning.

The only part of thos fight that I think gives Marquez trouble would be the fact that it would be at 140, Marquez looked terrible (physical shape) at 147 but as soon as he came back down to fight this last weekend he looked in great shape and obviously had a great fight.

I think Marquez would has a 60%-70% shot at beating Khan, too skilled for the younger fighter and of course if he tags him Khan is out.

Fanboyism aside, I can only see one winner, Khan.

I think he wins in every department, speed, power, reactions, reach. The only thing I think Marquez has is a better chin, but I don't think he has the power anymore to knock out a top fighter.

I see Marquez getting his face mashed up and getting stopped by the ref late on. At this stage in both their careers I just can't see anything else. Which is a real shame as Khan is starting to collect some marque names on his record now by fighting them late in their careers.

One shot power no, but I thnk Marquez can still add them up to wear out an most fighters. He still has the technizue to counter Khan all night and he does have to hit Khan too hard

[0james0]

I just don't think Khan will allow himself to get hit with too many. Kind of a Klitschko sydrome after the Prescott loss.

Khan's said he'd fight every single one of those guys.

On Maidana

"Maidana's the one i'd most like next. I've told Golden Boy to make that fight. Kotelnik managed to beat Maidana by frustrating him and that's what i'd intend to do. Victor Ortiz told me i'd take him apart"


On Bradley

"I think i'm already the biggest draw in the division but me apart, Bradley's the best name out there and it would be a good fight to see where i am and establish who's best at 140. Jose Benavidez (Khan's stablemate) went away to spar with Bradley and apparently Jose took him apart. When he came back to L.A. he told me i was miles ahead of Bradley - quicker, hit harder, better skills"

On Alexander

"I think he's seriously overrated and i know i'll destroy him, if and when we meet."


Let's not let the truth get in the way of an agenda though.


BTW i think Marquez has a great chance of stopping Khan. Marquez turned down the fight a while back anyway. Roach isn't that confident of a fight happening.

[Saddo]

Marquez looked pretty good over the weekend so i doubt this fight will be happening now.

[gest12645]

Khan's height would be a big problem for Marquez. It wouldnt be another Barrera Khan type fight. But I see Khan winning a 117-111 decision or wider

Words and actions are different. He also said he would beat Pacquiao and would take him on in the future. And he also famously said he wants to fight guys past their primes and then tried to use Oscar as an example.

You're right let's not let truth get in the way of an agenda though.

Haha no disrespect to the poster but is that a joke? How can anyone feel confident about fighting a certain fighter just because his buddies tell him he would kick their Ass??

I think every one of those fighters except maybe Maidana beats Khan and if Maidana catches him its lights out.

I can see what your saying especially after the inteview with them two, but Ortiz has been in the ring with them both ok Kham was in the AM'S and a longtime a go.

I do think unless Ortiz has lost it mentally after a defeat like that he would run rings round him in a rematch.

[ICB]

Me being a JMM fan i don't want to see the fight, JMM is far too small. I mean he's pushing his luck at Lightweight, i'd rather him just stay where he is. Im sick of fighters having to move up and down. JMM has plenty of challenges in his own weightclass, and so does Amir Khan.

No shit. Your initial point was that Khan was keeping 'Mom' about fighting either of these guys. I presented you with quotes which suggest your initial statement was a load of fiddlesticks.

Practically every fighter out there will have a 'coming out' fight where it will be against a former world champion or a past his prime future Hall of famer, and it'll be a fight which the up and coming fighter will be expected to win if he is to go on and reach his potential. Khan's basically admitting he'd take this route if it presented itself to him. Every other fighter would do the same. All Khan is doing is being honest about it, and he is right, Oscar did do it.

Alexander did it not so long ago when he fought Corley and when he fought Witter, although Witter nor Corley were ever really that good to begin with. There's nothing wrong with it because Alexander is still young and he has plenty of time to make great fights. As does Khan.

It's not about that. General Bullshit insinuated that King Khan was only talking about fighting past their prime fighters. I pointed out that that was not true, and i presented him with snippets from an interview conducted by Boxing Monthly.
