    I see Khan-Marquez being a closer fight than Khan-Maidana. With Maidana Roach is just going to get Khan to just jab Maidana to death, and Maidana's too much of a one trick pony to do anything else.

    Marquez has experience, can actually box and when it comes down to it he knows how to mix it up.

    He's never fought at 140 but I don't know why everyone's writing him off. He didn't look good at welter, but that was against the best pound for pound fighter at the time. Khan's nowhere near as good as mayweather (right now), and 140 is a lot closer to JMMs weight.

    If he can pull it off he'll be the only four weight mexican champion.

    Plus he's my favourite mexican fighter.

    Thanks mate :good

    Was only referring to him not fighting Maidana yet again. He's been the 'interim' (bollocks, but means he's first in line) since before Paulie, and yet again Khan is not facing him.

    I'm disappointed more than anything.

    The WBA won't do ****.

    The fee they'll get for a Khan vs Marquez matchup and also Maidana vs TBA will far outweigh Khan vs Maidana unifying the title and two no hopers for the interim.

    Its the truth, and you obviously cant take it. Warren offered Khan fights with Bradley, Alexander and Maidana in the UK for more money than he'd ever made before. But instead, he left for GBP and fought the mighty Malignaggi! Whats so hard to understand about that for you?

    Bradley doesn't get the same **** for fighting a career lightweight past it Campbell or, and even worse, a Super feather never that good Edner Cherry. Khan got all sorts of **** on here a couple of years ago when he was supposed to be fighting Cherry at LW but not one word said against Bradley when he took him on at 140...its double standards. I want to see the best fight the best but you can't just slate Khan for taking on **** opposition when everyone else is doing precisely the same....even Alexander is at it, picking over the bones of Khans near shutout win over the "worst world champion" out there.

    :lol:...Warren was bricking it when Khan signed to fight Barrera for **** sakes :lol:. What Frank says and what Frank ultimately does are as different as night and day...I suggest that you stop reading his saturday column:deal

    Well I think the fact that Gary Shaw and Don King officialy confirmed that they were in talks with Warren over a fight in the UK with Khan backs the claims up pretty well. Your one of those people that will only believe what you want to believe, which is fine. But when you look at the cold, hard facts, you can't deny Khan wants nothing to do with Maidana, Bradley or Alexander. And that's ok, because he wants to make a living which he can do just as easily by fighting lightweights and feather fists. At the end of the day Khans the one laughing as he's making a lot of money.

    BOSH on the button. Khan can make money how he want's/fight who he want's... But he can't complain when he look's back at his "legacy" and people pick it to bit's

    Gary Shaw did come out and confirm he was talking with Warren about Bradley - Khan. Then said when he contacted Golden Boy about it they would'nt have none of it

    Come on, talking and doing a deal are two completely different things. You or I have no idea why GBP knocked back (if they did) a Bradley - Khan fight, you are making a whole load of assumptions and coming to a conclusion.

    You my friend, assume thing's too easily, it's obvious to see you'd love Khan's balls in your mouth, so i now see why your being touchy.

    You assume, everything i say is fact, i only say what i read. If you have issue's take it up with Gary Shaw himself. I never once said they had a deal, i said they were discussing it
