Win or lose marquez should fight brandon rios next @ 140

[Russian Crushin]

4th titles won't matter when marquez whoops paciquaos ass again but I believe they both should be at 140, and it'd be a nice tune up winner faces morales. Either legend vs legend or legend vs the present. It'd be kinda crazy for marquez to go from 135 to 144 then to 135 then 140.

Why is that???

[chiguy91]

marquez/morales at 140
rios/matthysse
guerrero/maidana

those are the fights i'd like to see next year.

Interesting because I think Marquez would beat Rios.

[Und1sputed619]

Id like to see it at 135. Its the weight class that they are both currently at, so why the F ck would they fight at 140? Marquez' best speed and power is at 135 his natural weight class. Not this BS 144 catchweight in which hes fighting Manny.

i like it marquez would beat him, he punches way harder than acosta

And until age and wars finally show their toll nothing will convince me that marquez would stop rios late in a war just like diaz katsidits and casamayor. Hell take as much a beating if not worse then what he lands but hell get his in then after rios slows down in the middleish lateish rounds that's all marquez will need to eventually pick him apart and break him down. That's why I feel pacs still in trouble. Pac struggles against guys who can fight backwards. Margarito cotto clottey and hatton can't fight backwards. Oscar and mosley were just too shot. But mosley still made pac look ugly and beatable. Hard for marquez to Chase a faster slickery defensive fighter then himself in Floyd. Marquez has quick counters but not as good coming forward which is what pac loves to do but nobody has tested him defensively since the last marquez fight. Just watched them both again recently still have marquez by two rounds in both. Pac still has same holes.

it would be like marquez/diaz all over again

Remember marquez diaz 1? i thought feather fist was actually going to stop Marquez thats how much leather he put on him.

If Bam Bam hits Marquez like that its over.

This fight will happen after Marquez gets knocked out by Pac. Marquez beats Rios in a war and then retires.

That fight would be a Fight of the Year candidate if it happens, Young Warrior against an old dog. Their styles would make it a delight for the fans, age and time is on Rios side but I would pick JMM over the young warrior.

Rios whips Marquez at 140 but not at 135.
