First of all im a marquez fan so im not hatin on juan but he needs to fight someone and do it right now...and I know Rafael said he doesnt want to step on his brothers toes, but he needs bigger names, after and if he gets by the winner of gonzalez-vasquez which i think will be gonzalez then theres not to many big names left to fight inless he bangs it out wit ponce de leon and or if bautista steps up, maybe he can get a fight wit scott harrison as a featherweight first, and then jump up to the big name division, i know hes only 118 but i think his skill and power will move up with him, but who knows, i know one thing though, if juan aint gonna fight none of the named opponets than rafael mite as well say fuck it and step on his brothers toes, i mean why waste a chance at big fights and greatness because ur brother is in the weight class above u but isnt doin shit but fightin people that have no names, pac was able to move up from flyweight and even started his career at 106 even though he was young, i think rafael could do it to, power is a big thing and he has it and he should use it against marquee named fighters, since juan doesnt seem to be in the rush to fight pac, i would luv to see rafael do it and see how he handles the weight, and pressure of a ppv headline...
Yes of course. First things first. He should never overlook anybody at this point of his career. That will be a very good action packed fight.
I agree, how do you see that fight going? Vazquez-Gonzalez?
Yes I believe Rafa will be better off at 122 lbs first. A fight with Israel Vasquez would be inevitable.
Israel Vazquez has said, he would love to fight R. Marquez...

Vazquez is going to beat Jhonny Gonzalez!
Rafael should win some fights at 122. It's a tough division. I want to see what he can do but I definitely see him moving up in the future to feather or super feather.
he probably would, but id like to hear what everyone really thinks about this, is rafael good enough to take his skill up in weight, and should he because of his brothers lack of big fights and seemin unwillingness of lately???
hopefully gary shaw can give these guys good fights. IMO they both have tha tools to run 122-130 division/ for the next couple years if there managed right.
yea, i just hope i can see them both in big fights asap...cause thats a lot of talent for rafael to have but cant use because he doesnt want to get in his brothers way...

It would be interesting to see him move up to super featherweight eventually.It sure would set up some great fights.But a jump from bantamweight to jr lightweight wouldn't be very wise IMO.Lets see what he can do at jr featherweight first.I agree about the Pac thing!Rafael versus Manny has been a fantasy fight of mine for a while now!But it probadly will never happen :(

i think he should prove first his worth. I like rafael but i hate juan manuel cause i hate chicken wussess. Rafael should not rush things yeah he should dispatch all the closest boxers in his name in his division. Yeah harrison as a starter at 126 but he should fight another decent boxer then dispatch his chicken wuss brother juan manuel should retire cause he is just a disgarce for there family. Then he is ready for some ppv fights but not for pacquiao... the gap is too much for rafael but in future maybe he can pull an upset
