Should Khan risk a fight with Juan Marquez in Dec??

I think Pacquiao had faster feet around the time of the second fight than Khan has.

The issue here is that Pacquiao had the left hand to keep Marquez honest, who in turn had the right hand to land on Pac at will.

The only way Khan could conceivably win this fight is to basically repeat the Kotelnik performance and hope for the best, a 12 round snoozer.

But Marquez is easily the most intelligent fighter he's faced so far, albeit one who prefers fighting fighters rather than boxers. If Khan starts planting his feet and throwing big ones he'll be beaten up and stopped.

If he tries to be fleet of foot he'll most likely put himself in harm's way or bore the judges into submission. Marquez will throw punches and will land - Kotelnik wasn't able to take the jab away and get off.... Marquez can do that, without being what you'd call a defensive master.

 

Marquez is a bad match-up for Khan IMO. Marquez is a superb technician so one mistake by Khan and Marquez will capitalize. Khan makes to many mistakes and that'll be the downfall for Khan.

Marquez is a very dangerous fight. I'd have to favour Marquez.

 

Yep i agree, Kotelnik is a much more passive fighter as well. Marquez punches with different angles. The negative displays for Khan were all well and good but it's not the formula against top level fighters. They aren't just gonna follow him around the ring.

 

Who do you realistically think he'll fight mate? and who will be in his corner that night?.

 

did the starter of this thread see the third pacman fight last year

i see khan getting the better of early rounds with his speed and marquez is a slow starter t time. but once jmm finds range it over

marquez mid rounds stoppage

 

Would you accept a 10 rounder on a undercard as a fan?. Or do you feel Khan is able and willing to jump straight back into another world title fight maybe at 147 if needed?.

Yep Richardson is sort of guy Khan needs around him, Roach allowed his ego to take over his training IMO. To much time telling people how his fighters will knock the other guy out..

 

We just saw Khan get timed to perfection and brutally knocked out, so any suggestion of Marquez any point in the future is a bad one.

I'd support Khan all the way but lets just say for 12 rounds I would have my fingernails firmly in my teeth.

 

Yeah the rebuilding process shouldn't be to lengthy, I agree team Khan will probably say no to that.

The stoppage loss was coming, his mentality wasn't right and Garcia did what he had to do.

 

the fight shouldn't happen because khan is undeserving of the fight he's coming off back to back losses . he should do the right thing and retire, the sight of seeing his young finance nurse him through irreversible brain trauma saddens me, he's achieved all he can. I'd rather see garcia-marquez makes more sense, perhaps khan should fight prescott rather then chase fights with boxers who are leagues beyond him.
