another possible 12 rounds to zip shutout in front of your crowd is probably not the way to go lol. beat down some bums in tijuana is a better option.
But the money, bro. JMM's earning power is at it's absolute peak. Put that together with Money May and both guys will get huge paydays. No other opponent brings that to the table for Juan.
I'm assuming of course that Marquez will fight again. If he walks away now then of course this is all moot. And it's probably better to go out on a high note.
Wouldn't that be a good way for JMM to say farewell and close out his career?

You don't think the new, improved Marquez can give him a better fight? With over 100,000 of his countrymen cheering him on?
Plus it would give him the biggest payday of his career so that he can go into retirement very comfortably.
Marquez didn't magically acquire the skills to beat a fighter that he didn't win a single round against. Marquez is an ATG great, don't get me wrong - but as we all know "styles make fights", and Marquez hasn't really changed his style. This thread is dumb.
To make it as fair as possible. Marquez weighed in at 143. Why should he have to step up again? especially when FMJ can make a lower weight easily.
Hell Marquez was losing last night's fight on the cards and had his nose bust open, let's not pretend he's comfortable fighting at WW.
Losing or not, he won the fight and in great fashion. He's small at WW but he's obviously very legit at WW.
And I don't believe Mayweather can make 144 Lbs comfortably. When was the last time he was ever near 144 Lbs? Been a long time.

My thoughts, too ^^^^^^^^
Why should it be at 143-144?

Pacquiao weighed in at 147 lbs for this fight. Why can't Mayweather do the same?
Hell, Floyd weighed in at 146 for the first Marquez fight.
Why can't Mayweather weigh in at 143-144? Roger and Sr say Floyd can make 140, so have the fight at a catchweight.
What's the issue, I mean Floyd dominated him right...nothing to be scared of.
Why would JMM close out his career losing 12-0 and humiliated in front of his people?
Because he would get the biggest payday of his entire career. There's no one out there now that can bring in the PPV revenues that Floyd will.
i think juan should fight bradley in mexico next then retire. Theres no one left to fight in top rank
Now Bradley in Mexico would be great. I think Bradley would take that fight if the money right.
I don't think Floyd or Bradley would want to go to Mexico city to fight Marquez due to the elevation and possibly the judges. I would rather see Marquez get a KO victory against his major rival and retire, than possibly get a questionable hometown decision against another boxer.
The elevation in Mexico City is a killer.
Marquez going up to fight Mayweather, and just after moving up to 135, is the same as Mayweather moving up to fight Martinez. Only difference is that Mayweather doesn't have the balls.
I guess you don't realize Mayweather started his career at 130. Not 147.
You missed the key part OP, forget the venue, it should be at 143-144lbs.

this basically, i guess if marquez wants a payday he could try and get the fight but he'd be best off either going out on this high (which i don't think he'll ever top) or perhaps beating up on somebody like bradley and or rios and then retiring.

plus Marquez went the distance, Floyd would get sparked v Martinez
