To be fair hes a world champion, this is exactly the sort of person he should be fighting to earn respect and get to the next level. Having said that Marquez is the better fighter with a truckload more experience. A slow, feeling out start, it would warm up in the middle rounds and turn into a very exciting close fight before Marquez takes over and stops Khan in the tenth.
Khan takes this at 140 no doubt. 135 marquez all the way but at 140 khan is too fast, too strong too powerful and just too hungry, expect this on the pac floyd undercard
jmm , he wouldnt give Khan the room he needs , would be bloody and a hard lesson , JMM by stoppage around th 9th
Khan at 140 and 135. Marquez has nothing more to prove, and would not stand a chance against anyone who's real good at boxing. I still believe he'd be able to annihilate Hatton and maybe even Ortiz or Maidana, due to the fact he has a heart like noone else.
Favour Khan, though i haven't seen enough of him to make a definitive pick. I think if we see Marquez again we will see he was never going to be truly good above 140 and was never going to be close to significant in a long term sense above 130. This isn't to take a potshot at Floyd, as he showed he was simply far more skilled than Marquez, but i think we saw in the Diaz and Casamayor fights that Marquez at his age will never be that good above his natural weight. *Didn't realise this thread was old.
Marquez an old original featherweight vs khan a green 140 pounder, and still Marquez has a big chance of beating this young boxer, just shows how Good the Marquez is
i think kahn could win, he is as fast as any1 in boxing at he moment,he is getting better and seems to have some power at 140 and i think goin up in weight he will be able to take a better punch aswell we will have to wait and see. Also he would have a very good gameplan with Roach so i see kahn tko stoppage late or on points,wud be an intresting fight though, to see if marquez could catch Amir when he is on the way in being the good counter puncher that he is.
My brain tells me Khan is just too young and fast right now, but I rewatched Marquez-Diaz yesterday and I'm still kind of on a high from how ****ing amazing JMM looked in that fight.
