    Well...no, I didn't. I really do think that Khan's chin wouldn't be much more relevant in a JMM fight than Wlad's chin against Ruslan Chagaev though. I'm just being realistic. When he fights hard with Juan Diaz at 135, you yourself putting it that he looked worse in terms of damage than against FMJ at 147, Khan at 140 will be worse. I can almost guarantee it. Diaz's speed troubles him at 135. Khan's speed at 140 AND coming from the outside? This is, again, a HORRIBLE match-up for JMM. Winnable, but at massive ****ing disadvantage from the start. This is not, and I repeat, NOT the same fighter he was as a super featherweight facing Pacquiao. JMM is great, and he's been one of my favorites for years. P4P, I think it will end up that Khan comes nowhere near him in boxing history. But this is the reality as I see it for that fight. If I'm wrong, ...I'd love to be wrong, it would be great.

    I'd rather see Marquez slug it out with Katsidis (who deserves a break) - or get his sought after ultimate payday against Pacquiao.

    If it winds up being Khan I won't complain but as a Marquez fan it's not my top choice in terms of risk/reward (with Katsidis being lower reward but MUCH lower risk - and a more exciting fight - and the right thing to do; and Pacquiao being MASSIVE risk but infinitely higher reward than anything else).

    Speaking of Pacquiao - it's interesting that this thread has received almost twice as many replies as the Pacquiao-Clottey RBR thread (and that's even discounting the first few pages from before the night of this PPV, which only account for like 80 posts).

    Oddly, even though Marquez knocked out two guys that Katsidis lost to, I think styles match up so that Katsidis is a big risk for Marquez at this stage in his career, at this weight. Kat can bring it and bring it fast, before Marquez gets his adaptation on. I would still favor Marquez a little bit, but not that strongly.
