Imagine the beatdown that Marquez would administer on Brandon Rios. Bob should make this fight next.
On a side note, I was watching Filipino television this morning and they were talking about Pacquiao vs Alvarado. Bob, please don't do that to Mike.
I personally don't care at his point. I much rather see JMM-Bam Bam and Pac-Provodnikov over a 5th Manny Marquez fight. I've always got excited over the war we would see between Rios and Marquez. That has to happen before Marquez retires.
On the other hand. PAC deserves to get sparked out by Marquez again after signing that extention.
Rios would press the action alot more than alvarado did. But I see marquez ripping off insane combos and maybe even stopping rios on swelling/cuts. Cotto/Marquez at a 150 CW is the fight id loveeee to see!
Rios' biggest accomplishment was beating Alvarado and so was Mike's in the rematch. Marquez will have a field day at this one.
I agree with you, I wonder if he'd be able to drop Rios with one shot too.
Yea, cotto would be in my top 20 since the year 2000 for sure along with Jose Luis Castillo. Maybe Bradley and rigo.
I always liked Castillo. The shot that he dropped Corrales (RIP) with in the rematch was beautiful. He should've won the first Mayweather fight. Great fighter, wish I could have seen him in better fights.
I kinda hear you, but among "current" fighters, he should be ranked up there. Sadly, boxing is not what it used to be.

it's obvious Alvarado ain't next. Arum has been losing it a bit in his old age but he isn't that far gone just yet.
If JMM 5 isn't next then TR will have no choice but to make the Prov fight and for whatever lack of appeal it has to the "casuals" as a sheer fight, that would be a hell of a lot of fun!
If Pac fight Prov next, he'll be easy pickings for Marquez after that war.
