Marquez To Target Campbell After Diaz, Says Nacho

[mrlopez]

Word. If they both win this a is a great match, but first thing is first. Juan Diaz and Ali Funeka have something to say about it.

Juan Diaz is just gonna say no mas to Marquez, and Funkea is gonna get stopped before he says anything....

if he's already lookin at Nate, imma have to go with Diaz in their fight....it aint a tuneup marquez...you've got a proud warrior in front of you

I am surprised that JMM even spoke Nate's name. Nate will beat JMM by KO. He is too big and JMM will not be able to take his punch. The fight between Funeka and Campbell will show who the best LW is. The winner will probably beat everyone else in the division. And I am picking Nate.

oh man...the potential matchups of 2009 are amazing.

I would love to see Marquez vs. Campbell

[Doc Holliday]

What im thinking is.....Should JMM really be looking that far ahead so soon???

I think JMM is doing what he can to prove himself before time catches up with him. This is why he tried so hard to get Pac right back in the ring after their second fight, cause he knows it won't be too long before his abilities start to decline.

Much respect to JMM. Hopefully he can clean out 135.

Trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristáin revealed that Juan Manuel Marquez will indeed fight Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz in Houston, Texas, and not in Las Vegas as many previously thought. Nacho advised ESTO that Golden Boy Promotions, who promote both fighters, wanted the event to land in Houston where Diaz is a major draw. The fight takes place on February 28 on HBO. [details]

glad to hear jmm's team say they will fight campbell.... I hope jmm and mab fight campbell and both fights go on hbo...

good for Marquez. that's commendable going from Pacquiao to Casamayor to Diaz to Campbell in a row. really, who's been through four better opponents than that in a row in recent years?

Just so there is no confusion whatsoever, assuming Nate handles Funeka (which I am confident of), our FIRST priority will be to get the Marquez-Diaz winner. If it turns out to be bull**** from Nacho, and the fight cant be made, THEN we will look at making the mando with Barrera instead. But the Marquez-Diaz winner is our first priority.

Thanx, hopefully Nacho just isn't playing the strategy game with Nate's name. It would be a great fight for boxing.
