Khan won't be claiming Marquez ducked him anytime soon....

Khan claims that Marquez avoided him 2 years ago, I think its highly unlikely he will be mentioning that again!

Both Khan and Marquez were very different fighters 2 years ago.

The floor is yours, Coxy....

Marquez was, but I disagree that Khan was that different 2 years ago. The obvious conclusion from that statement is that Khan had peaked and was on the down hill slope, which, given his youth etc is wrong for all to see. Kahn's issue with taking a punch etc have been plain to see for years (see Willie Limmond). Mind you, if he can put in a good showing in his next fight, I reckon he will still be around as a tier one boxer for a few years to come. Khan is far from the perfect fighter, but there is still a lot that is good about him as well.

Khan has so many likeable traits as a boxers, yet I just can't bring myself to give him the time of day... Not sure what it is.

Hopefully Molina ko's him this weekend.

I have trouble backing any non-UK fighter against a UK fighter to be honest. So I will be wishing him well this weekend.

You're not Richie Woodhall, are you, bhb?!

If he was he would have hanged himself by now solely due to the abuse you mete out to him.

I'm sure Az will be more than happy to enlighten you....

Re this weekend, definitely backing Khan this weekend. He can be a bit of a wally, and it gets my back up when people try and say I'm not allowed to simply think that or criticise him in any way, but as I have no connection to Molina whereas Amir still has the likeable qualities of being a young hungry very talented British athlete I'll be backing him all the way.

That said, can't see anything past JMM winning by KO, having watched this weekend's fight, if they were to meet anytime in the next 6-12 months. JMM just looks so sharp and strong at the weight now, not a blow-up LW anymore.

Marquez style was all wrong for him, Khan would throw far too many punches recklessly, Marquez would time him and pancake him.
