By Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-2, 40 KO’s) is more than ready to get in the ring with Filipino Manny Pacquiao again so that he score another knockout over him and prove that his KO win earlier this month wasn’t just from a “Lucky punch” like a lot of Pacquiao’s fans have been saying. But unless Marquez’s wife gives him permission, he’ll be retiring and won’t give Pacquiao the opportunity to try and avenge his loss.
Marquez said to the record.com.mx “I wish my wife would give the green light…and hopefully give me a chance to do another fight.”
The fourth fight with Pacquiao was supposed to have been the 39-year-old Marquez’s final fight of his career, as he had promised his wife that he would retire after the bout no matter what the outcome.
