    Yes Marquez is smaller, a good fight though, who you got? Khan wins this on size imo

    Think Marquez wins. Khan is still very sloppy
     
  3. Marquez by TKO. Juan is the more proven fighter and quite simply, his game is just all-around better.

    Hey power, could you put the quote

    “Amir and Freddie Roach tell me they want Maidana, but I think Márquez, if he beats Juan Diaz in their rematch will be bigger,” Schaefer said. “That fight could be in England or the US.”

    So the haters know that Maidana is preferred by the team.

    Khan would win every round as he has been doing under Roach, and the ref would stop the fight around 9th/10th rounds due to Khan's output and beating, Khan would Iron Jab JMM small head off.

    Fight shouldn't happen and GBP should be ashamed of themselves.

    I hate to see great fighters being sacrificed to other great fighters. This is worse because Khan is being matched against men who have little chance of hurting him, in this case Marquez is way too small.

    Nacho didn't want the fight before and I hope he steers JMM clear of this. It's a money making exercise and that's it.

    Not sold on Marquez at 140lbs at all.

    Khan by decision, easy one aswell.
    Too athletic.

    The size, sure, and the SPEED. Aside from having the chance at breaking the glass, Marquez has no reason to take this risk. Well, it would be money, and it would be a slim chance at being the first(?) four division world champion. But he's so close to the end of his rope, imo.

    Nacho did say for GBP to f*** off from using JMM as a stepping stone.

    JMM recently said he wants to be a 4-time world champ. I don't see him turning the oppurtunity down.

    Lots of things to consider and it all depends on how hings fall into place - JMM lost to Floyd which is nothing to be ashamed of (he was WELL above his optimal weight and completely outmatched), but maybe even 140 is just too much and he'd wilt against Khan too.


    This may be a dumb question but: when we get a fight like this that would be at 140, we all know JMM has performed better at lower weights, so shouldn't he come in at that optimal weight, rather than bulking up to get close to 140?

    Shouldn't he weigh in at 136 fully clothed, full stomach, pockets full of loose change?
