After beating the Mexican warrior Rafael Marquez, Juan Manuel Lopez sent a new challenge to another Juanma.

"I would love to fight Rafa again, I know he hurt his shoulder and he asked for a rematch and I would like to do it again, he is a tremendous warrior, a very strong puncher, he gave me the most difficult fight of my career. We have a date for next year in Puerto Rico maybe we can do it again there. I want the fight, he wants the fight, let's just tell Beltran and Arum to make everything work and we'll fight," said Lopez to the Mexican media.

"If the rematch goes on, then after beating Rafael again, I would love to fight Juanma Marquez, maybe he can come down to 130 pounds and we can get it on. I only want to fight the best and that should be a good story, fighting the Marquez brothers, I really want to fight Juanma at 130."

Juan Manuel Lopez is the current WBO featherweight champion and was sitting next to Rafa Marquez when this interview was conducted by TV Azteca, Marquez had an ice bag place above his shoulder, and Marquez also said he would love to get a rematch with the Puerto Rican star.

Juan Manuel does not call himself "Juanma."

He also longer fights at 130. Lopez would have to go to 135.

If Juan Manuel can't beat Katsidis, he might go ahead and retire.

Juanma Lopez be careful with what you wish for, you might get it.

Enjoy your win and forget about the other Marquez.

Whats wrong with going after a great fighter like Marquez who is 2 weight classes above him?

[Spray_resistant]

Its a good fight and I think he can make 130 if he came in for his last fight at 133.

Another step up for JuanMa if this happens.

Marquez aint made 130 in years.

[Russian Crushin]

Marquez aint made 130 in years.

He weighed in 133 in his last fight which was contracted at 135

And 130 is meeting in the middle. How is it fair for Juanma to go up 10 pounds?

[mexicali]

Depending on how he does against katsidis, I think it would be a decent fight even though his last fight at 130 was against pac about 3 yrs ago. If Juanma really wants to fight at 130 id love to see him against soto, guerrero, even salgado. Highly doubt that fight pans out though. Im hoping he fights Ponce de len again
