My guess - JMM vs: Peterson (W) - 12 round decision, counterpunching masterclass Khan (L) - can see Khans speed overwhelming him, decision loss. Bradley (L) - Bradley would probably edge out a close competitive fight. Guerrero (W) - See Peterson. Would love to see the Bradley fight out of all of them, think that has the potential to be an extremely good fight.
Do you think Khan is that much faster than Pac? If Marquez was timing pac and landing with ease with Pac having limited success do you think Khan will be able to do better?
Its not so much about him being faster than pac (think they're about the same FWIW), i think Marquez' benefit was knowing pacs style inside and already knowing what to expect and how to anticipate his shots. Whereas with Khan, although i can see Marquez counterpunching some of Khans flurries, i cant see him being able to do this consistently for 12 rounds or being able to back Khan up for long enough periods. I dunno, just a hunch.
Khan has a greater reach than Pacquiao and would let his punches go from a further distance, which would make it more difficult for JMM to counter. But I expect JMM would make adjustments after the early rounds, draw Khan in and make him look a bit silly as the fight went on. Bradley would obviously fight him from a far shorter distance, much like Diaz and Katsidis, and would get countered all night. I think he'd beat both by UD, Bradley 118-110, Khan 116-112. Or something similar.
Some? Khan's flurries leave him in danger every time he throws, Marquez is an awful matchup for him. Also, he'll find Khan hard enough to counter but Guerrero will be a 'counter punching masterclass'? I don't rate Guerrero at all, but his style hardly lends to a huge amount of countering opportunities.
Your opinion but i disagree, Khan leaves himself so open when he throws those pitter patter flurries. His range and speed will cause Marquez some problems early on like i said possibly dropping him with a body shot or something. MArquez will then begin to land over and over especially with his uppercut a shot Khans very open to. Maybe stopping him late if not a clear points decision. With khan taking the first few rounds and stealing one or two at a push later on on workrate alone.
True dat, but i dont personally see Marquez being able to bring the fight to Khan and keep him backed up for long enough in the fight. I just feel Khan would do enough to flurry-and-run his way to victory.
Khan could flurry and run to beat a fighter of Marquez ability? He flurries and gets straight on and then jmm would counter the crap outa him
Fair points, as you say its each to their own. I think that Khan would have the beating of Marquez purely due to his flurry-and-run style, also having a slight reach advantage would only work in his favour (obviously this is depending on him actually using his jab and not getting drawn into another war.
No siree. :bart More of a hater. I just appreciate that he has got certain talents which i feel he could utilise better vs certain opponents.
