Marquez should be able to beat Hatton at 140 but Khan would be close because of his speed and footwork

JJM is one of the great modern fighters. He has every punch in the book, power, a solid chin and unrivaled ring intelligence, a true mexican warrior. I’ve always been a huge fan of his, if any young boxer out there needs a role model, JJM is the man.
He has nothing left to prove in my opinion, I would like to see him take Valero’s WBC belt.
Juan Manuel Marquez WBA,WBO,WBC, undisputed lightweightchamp of the world has a nice ring to it, and would cap a magnificent career.

As for Valero v JMM i’d pick JMM in that one as Valero is ferocious and relentless but i think that would be his downfall in a fight with JMM as JMM is probably the best counter puncher in boxing and Valero leaves himself wide open when unloading with those heavy but wild hooks!

Readers, by saying Marquez is washed up
I mean that is what the people would say if Khan beat him. Can you not see from the rest of my article that I think he is dangerous?

phew Tres i agree with your observations about Marquez, he also holds a special place in my heart but as far as Valero getting beat by JMM well i just cannot agree with that. I think that would be a tough one.Valero aint no joke.

JMM washed up? Man JMM might be a bit on the old side but he is still one of the best fighters in boxing. Intelligent, strong puncher, with a great chin, counter boxing genius, and just to much for any boxer at 140, and he has only ever looked bad against PBF, and PBF never even tried to make weight for thier fight and still went 12 rounds with the guy! Amir, Ricky, Diaz, Valero anybody would get beat by JMM, at 140. And u can bank on that.

khan is a gr8 fighter but he has been exploited once before and that was by prescott in 54 seconds!!

and on the point about khan s chin i have this to say; every fighter has a weakness, just ask master freddie roach, he has found and exploited weaknesses on some of the best in the buisness, and on khan; what he lacks in having a suspect chinn he more than makes up for it in quick feet quick hands and good agility, and an all round good boxer

Khan would have a good chance against the smaller man. Marquez struggled to overcome Diaz at lightweight and he is looking older and slower with each fight. I’d like to JMM fight Valero myself.
