When are these guys going to move up and get in some bigger fights at 126? How successful will they be at these weights?

I think both guys punch like trucks and could find success at heavier weights. I think Guzman is a bit better than Marquez but not by much.

if rafael moved up to face guzman, i would slightly favor marquez, but both could win by ko. marquez does have a shaky chin!!

126 is too high for Marquez.

Guzman needs to get busy he aint fought in long awhile

marquez is a killer! i love that guy. i wish he would jump up to feather or even superfeather but he has stated that he will not move up as long as his brother juan manuel is a featherweight champion :( . rafael could be making huge money right now at 126 and 130 cause hes damn good, he can be very technical but his punching power would make him popular and i would give him a good chance to beat any of the top guys.

126 or even 130 is not to big for marquez. his pretty big framed, and have you seen how heavy he comes in for all his bantamweight fights?

nah, marquez should just go up to 122, not 126. 130 is way too big for him right now!!

at 122 u have marquez vs ponce deleon or larios or guzman or vazquez. he could fight sahaprom from thailand but he is hiding in thailand never to come out!!

look at his frame during his fights, and thats weighing the lightweight limit 135. im not saying he should go up to 130 right NOW. but it think he could carry it fine.
