I think this is a good fight based on their respective performance against a common opponent in Timothy Bradley.

Didn't even think about that. Now that fight I wouldn't mind even with juans layoff. Better than Bradley rematches

Marquez won't get a better shot at a 5th divisional title than Vargas. If Marquez gets a tuneup in first I think it's a 65-35 fight leaning towards Marquez, and without a tuneup I think it's 50-50.

We've seen that Vargas overcommits and is subject to getting timed. Would be interesting to see if Marquez's tight counters + power would be enough to win. I think Marquez would drop him at least once but ultimately lose to a decision. Vargas has enough reach to trouble Marquez, who likes to plant his feet.

That's a good fight for Marquez. It would be doubly fun if Erik Morales was back in Vargas' corner.

Vargas has belt at Welterweight which is one motivation for JMM to go after this fight. I also think Vargas is willing to go to Mexico to fight JMM.
