Rafa is trying to Tune up agian, and then take out a Rusty Izzy Vasquez.... im not to hyped about a 4th fight. If Rafa wins.. they would need to do a 5th fight to settle everything once and for all..... ******.

Get em Rafa

Ive seen all 3 fights Live from bell to bell with excitment.... but i think it all should just stop at a trilogy. Now if they fought 2 or 3 top notch fighters at 126 and than fought each other. Than i would be more in to it. But just jumping in to a 4th fight after a long layoff doesnt have the same spark.

I don't want to see this bull**** 4th fight.

They've destroyed eachother enough.

[MJ406]

yeah really. nothing against either man, but enough is enough

and like everyone suggested already if a 4th fight does happen and Rafa wins .. they'll probably do a 5th.

the cycle never ends, lol

Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez need to accept the fact that the networks and the fans are not interested in a fourth fight. There are other fighters out there they can fight. I hope Rafael can shake the rust off better than he did in his first tune-up. I still want to see one of these guys take on Jorge Linares. Soto is probably too big for them and he is moving up to Lightweight. Caballero and Lopez can fight each other in the mean time. Because hardcore boxing fans are dying for that fight due to Stella Cella's trash talk.

linares is at 130, just like soto........rafa and izzy just moved up to 126........
raf should fight nishioka first, grab his belt, then a remtach with vazquez will be interesting.....

I'm a big fan of both men but I do not want to see these guys fight again.

They've already done enough damage to one another.

Yeah, but you never know if those guys can keep making 126. And we know Linares is not going to fight Soto even though he has been wolfing about it, so why not one of those guys? People talked about a potential match-up between Vasquez and Linares when Vasquez was champ at 122 and Linares was a title holder at Feather. That would be a tough fight for Marquez and Vasquez, but I think Linares is overrated and untested. And a fourth fight between Vasquez and Marquez might interest you, but it's not interesting to a lot of other people.
