I think thats the best option for Marquez right now. Id say he would easily beat Soto and then move up and fight Maidana to prove that he can fight a bigger fighter and id say he would beat Maidana. Maidana is made for Marquez, slow and easy to hit!!
JM Marquez lineal (Ring Magazine) /WBA/WBO lightweight champion
Humberto Soto WBC titleholder
Miguel Vazquez IBF titleholder
& Miguel Acosta WBA regular titleholder/paper belt
Marquez is the champion and the rest are just titleholders nowadays that's how I look at boxing because there are so many so called champions it's insane and there is no way to actually remember all 100+ so called champions so if there's a lineal champion then that's the true champion ie W Klitschko, J Pascal, S Martinez, JM Marquez, P Wongjongkam, G Segura and the rest are just titleholders that don't matter cuz who has the time to try to remember 100+ titleholders

just skip the soto fight and fight khan or maidana
Marquez is scared to fight Soto.
thats why JMM has avoided soto for years.
Why do you think, JMM wont even mention the name Humberto Soto, when he talks about future opponents???
Get over Soto already, Marquez would school Soto anyday. Marquez would even finish him!!
i love maidana but i think marquez is too accurate and too skillful for maidana.....BUT, i would LOVE to see katsidis move up to 140 and fight maidana.
The fight will certainly produced a unified Lightweight Champion!
Let the winner fight a Champion in Jr Welterweight Division!
We already have a true champion at Lightweight. One of the few divisions we actually have one.
But Marquez should fight Soto to defend his title.
Not like that's ever going to happen though...
jmm already unified lightweight hes done it allThen he should move up to 140 and beat Maidana to get a fight with Khan. Once he beats Khan, Pacquiao qould have to try and avenge his gym partner!!
what belt does soto hold??cause jmm already unified the division once
Soto is the WBC lightweight champ, he won it when he beat David Diaz earlier this year!!
Id say Soto would give Marquez a harder fight, Maidana is a Counter Punchers dream and JM Marquez is the second Best Counter Puncher in the world after Mayweather!!
If only we could get that fight to happen. Marquez-Soto.
Edit: They don't need to unify anything anyway. Marquez is the champion. If he fought Soto, it would be a defence. Soto would be the challenger.
