    Khan by close and controversial decision...GBP knows Marquez is on the decline, and Khan is on the (marketing) rise.

    Urgghh. No Maidana - Still a good and scary fight. Source please?

    Khan by a controversial decision imo. Depending on what JMM turns up on the night

    I picked JMM by KO but I think Khan actually takes this one. He will have the reach advantage Pac didnt have and the same speed and hes got skills too. Khan UD.

    i just think that jmm has no capacity to be that great at these higher weights. he looked fine at 135 but we can see signs of slowing down. interesting fight though.

    This is actually a very easy fight to predict. People will be shocked at how easy Khan makes it look. I am never wrong when I feel strong right about a fight, and I feel strongly right about the result in this one. Barring a punchers chance, Khan all the way, easy.

    JMM struggled to outbox a chinny past it Casa, Khan will provide much more speed, height and reach and size. JMM got tagged lots by Juan Diaz, Khan will tag him even more with more power.

    I imagine this fight will take place at 140. JMM at 135 was already past it shown by his stuggles against B level comp, at 140+ hes gonna be hopeless.

    Even though he has those two KO wins he still was in a tough fight with baby bull and Casa before he stopped them. I think he only has so much time left, I hope he wins but its likely he will loose.

    So do they have to vacate the belt for not fighting Maidana?

    it's clear people are voting for Khan as some kind of joke right?

    right?

    That is a rotten idea. But it makes sense.

    Marquez UD, unless he has severely deteriorated since the Casamayor and Diaz fights.
