JMM's trainer tells Marquez to avoid Khan!?!?

[sanchez786]

Juan Manuel Marquez's trainer sees Amir Khan fight as exploitation | More Sports News | ESPN.co.uk

"Khan is very strong and it's not a good fight right now because he's not fully recovered from the Mayweather fight, which was just brutal.

"I think it's better to get another opponent. He should not be exploited again. Juan Manuel deserves to retire like a true champion and not as someone's stepping stone."

Is this just to build up the fight or does JMM's trainer genuinely think Khan is too much for JMM?

[Fenster]

You should have headlined it - MARQUEZ DUCKS KHAN!!! FACT.

Been some serious mileage in that.

I think Nacho is not underestimating Khan obviously to a younger, taller,reach might be stronger to Marquez, Nacho could seen something on Marquez last fight that his fighter is not really good going 135lbs north.
Marquez is one of a name in boxing now.
Unless if the pot is really right to Marquez favor.

He just blew a fantastic opportunity for a windup thread. As a Mod you should take action and change the title.

To be fair Marquez hasn't ducked him yet and it could be just a negotiating position. But he's definitely ducking Khan, what a bottler.

[GAME]

Good. Hope this fight gets scuppered and Khan has to face someone his own size like that guy whos been his mandatory for a while.

Next foe for con boy. Paulie Malinaggi with 5 kos in 30 fights. Then we'll hear how he's becoming a man at 23 by beating a gatekeeper!

I really wish you would stop making light of Khans age and how well he's doing for being just 23

From those two quotes it sounds like Nacho knew beforehand Marquez couldn't beat Mayweather. I do remember him saying he wasn't fast enough on 24/7.

[skel1983]

I can understand why to be honest, Khan is the upstart trying to break into the mainstream in the USA and I bet JMM is feeling a bit disrespected as he is being seen as the old warrier with a name who is going to give the new kid a decent scrap but will be beat.

I think Marquez can beat Khan but maybe he feels he is still good and big enough to pick who he wants to fight.

marquez ducking khan? what a joke! as far as i know marquez has NEVER ducked anybody, much less an overrated, media-hype job in khan. besides, khan isn't a big name yet so this fight probably wouldn't sell enough for someone of marquez' status.

if khan is so good why won't he match his talent against fighters who are as naturally as big as he or in their prime! first of all, marquez is noticiably on the decline as any 36 fighter would be who has been thru several wars with even better fighters than khan.

khan should have the balls to fight fighters like maidana, ortiz, devon alexander, lamont peterson, kendall holt etc...instead of roach feeding his fighters over the hill fighters as usual, he should see just how good a trainer he is and match his young fighters with other young fighters. if he's that good a trainer, his fighters shouldn't have a problem right?

Agreed. Khan is a joke. Ducking Maidana was absolutely pathetic.

Khan doesn't want to face any live fighter who is within a decade of his own age. Fecking fraud artist! Marquez shouldn't walk away from this fight because he can stop Khan and I want to see Khan laid out sooner rather than later. I'm sure they will be looking for a Morales fight again now.

Kahn should do flying visit to Pakistan and round up some expert fight fans we can chat to about him.

Remember Naz and the Arabic boxing experts telling us all which way the wind blew for a few years,that was fun.

Why would any one want to step in the ring with Roache's PED's users? I think it would be wise to stay away from all of Roache's top fighters as they are feeding these guys 5 star hog nuts and gorilla piss

In theory your right, but I think Roach has become just as much a manager/matchmaker for his top guys these days. Like it or not, he does carry some weight in the bus and wants his fighters to do well for themselves financially first and foremost. Cant really blame him for it.

[milmascaras1]

p4p,

you're right and he should be looking out for his fighters well being but right now he's only a trainer. i just can't stand his cherrypicking his fghters' opponents. i think he does it to make his training skills look better than what they are. not to mention the guy is a classic, annoying motor-mouth who annoys and rubs fans the wrong way.
