Marquez vs. Pacquiao

By Chris Williams: 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez still prefers to fight WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao next, but if he can’t get that fight then Marquez, who turns 39 in the summer, will go ahead and look for the next best thing and he feels that’s WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KO’s).

By Gerardo Granados: I believe retirement is not an option for the authentic World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion; Marquez may have two more fights inside him so he better gave to the boxing fans the chance to see him fight at least one more time before retiring.

By Michael Lieberman: The last three years has been frustrating for Juan Manuel Marquez, as he’s been trying repeatedly to get a third fight against Manny Pacquiao to prove that he’s the better fighter, but hasn’t had much luck.

By William Mackay: Bob Arum, the promoter for Manny Pacquiao, has said more than once that if Juan Manuel Marquez (51-5-1, 37 KO’s) wants a third fight against Pacquiao, Marquez needs to prove himself against a top welterweight like Joshua Clottey (35-4, 20 KO’s) or World Boxing Council welterweight champion Andre Berto.

By Dave Lahr: Since we’ve already seen that Manny Pacquiao has no issue with fighting different opponents at catch weights, so why not have Pacquiao fight Juan Manuel Marquez at a catch weight?
