    Fair play to Bernstein. I'm glad this call has been made. Mayweather beat him up clinically that night and even against Juan Diaz he was getting hit a lot. He hasn't had it easy recently so i think they made right call not throwing him straight back in to top level.

    Yeah, the options are pretty limited for Khan as everyone is booked up.

    That is unless they agree to co-promote with Dibella for Mallignaggi. He could possibly fight Kendal Holt on May15th. He's fighting on the 27th of this month, assuming he wins that should be enough time.

    Failing that they might have to start looking at Lightweights.. or dare i say it.. Welterweights

    Khan must be close to P4P#1.

    General forum are saying Marquez is too small and will get outclassed.

    And Katsidis known banger and somebody who people say will cause Hatton fits will get outboxed and it's a pointless fight.

    Who is good enough to face P4P Champion Khan?

    In less than three weeks the winner of Alexander-Urango will be available. I will be very dissapointed if Khan doesn't fight the winner of that fight or Malignaggi seeing as everyone else seems to be tied up around 140.

    The fights not off, yet. ODLH is trying to sort it out.

    What's the point?

    Maequez's trainer has already told the world Khan will win, how can he motivate Marquez now?

    Khan is due to return to the wildcard in 3 weeks to begin training so that could fit in.

    This entire argument about , why is Katsidis good enough for Hatton but not for Khan. For me personally, I'd like Hatton to fight Katsidis because I think Hatton would win and it would be good to watch, and one for him to retire on whilst giving the fans a fight in Manchester.

    Katsidis can punch, but I just don't think he is world class. Against Khan who IMO is an 'Okay' fighter with world class speed, I think he'd lose badly.

    It was only 5 fights ago or so that Graham Earl fought Katsidis, and Katsidis did win, but went down in the process. Khan dispatched Earl in under a minute I believe.

    Earl dropped Katsidis as Katsidis was looking to finish and countered him..really just a flash knockdown..wasn't hurt just careless and Earl landed a sweet shot.

    Reason Khan blitzed Earl is a lot to do with Katsidis...Earl was shot to pieces when he fought Khan and Khan has the ability to explode from first bell. The Earl that fought Katsidis had a bit left in tank and they went to war and i think that war was one to many for Earl and never was same again. Katsidis has improved a fair bit since.

    Money talks my friend. Who would Marquez take and get as big purse?

    Against Katsidis? No..
    Against Valero? Yes, but I see Marquez getting destroyed in that.
    Against Hatton? Yeah, probably a good fight for him but I don't see him taking it.

    Whats wrong with just fighting his mandatory??What better way to start his career in the US than taking on Maidana and showing everyone that he is not ducking the fight.The big money fights can wait until he has proved himself...

    Happy this fight isn't happening. There's no need to for JMM to be talking on guys with a big size advantage over him at this stage in his career, he's got nothing to prove.

    He can defend his LW title and let Khan face one of the big names at 140.

    Exactly. If he wants to impress he should stop being a ***** and fight Maidana. The Marquez fight was a reasonable enough alternative but now if he fights some nobody he is going to be the laughing stock of boxing and rightfully so.
