Two weeks ago, Beristain told reporters that Marquez was targeting a fight with WBA/IBF champion Celestino Caballero. [details]

I think Celestino is taylor made for Marquez. Marquez dominates him and probably drops him a couple of times. The reach and height of Caballero won't matter against someone of Marquez' caliber.Comment

I was thinking something similar to this. Marquez is the kind of masterful boxer that isnt too thrown off by something like height and reach.
As long as they are both healed up from there wars, I see Marquez and Vazquez both beating whoever at 122.Comment

THis will be a good test for Marquez, I dont think he has ever fought someone that tall, Hopefully this takes place in Carson "Home depot center".Comment

Wow! I hope this fight gets made! Just another great matchup for '09...and NO PPV!!!
I think this has the makings of a great fight to watch. I'll be picking Marquez to dethrone the champ, but it'll be interesting to see how he deals with Caballero's huge height/reach advantage.Comment

whos he gonna fight, cabba? juanma? i hope not, i feel that he need a lil tune up before he goes in there with the likes of the two i just mentioned, not because of skill, but because he is coming off of 3 wars with izzy, he should see what happens when he takes a good punch and how he reacts to it, i feel he has the skill to beat both of them but its all gonna depend on how much those 3 fights took out of him, cuz there is no way that they didnt take even a lil something away from him and the way he looked after the last fight wasnt to positive. i just dont want to see the man get permanatly injured, and cabba and juanma are both ****ers, rafa should ease back into the mix instead of jump right in there
