Who will Marquez face in the summer?

[Hougigo]

If he is avoiding Rios, that just means that he's just acknowledging Rios a dangerous opponent and a threat to his clamor for another shot at Paqciao. Rios might make him look like an amateurish clown.

He's scared of Rios. Plain and clear.

I like Rios, but I woulnd't say Marquez is afraid of him.

Marquez will be forced to fight Rios if he wants Pac. Arum will make sure of this. If Rios's pressure and punching power down an old Marquez he kills two birds with one stone. He gets a "legitimate" fresh new opponent for pac in nov. since he was able to beat Marquez a guy who gave Pac a hard time.While at the same time making sure Pac looks good fighting an aggressive but over his head Rios. If Rios loses then he can make a highly profitable rematch with a hurt Marquez prob making the fight happen in Sept. so Marquez has some wear on him in the fourth encounter. (not that pac needs it but to arum business is business)

I dont think Marquez is afraid of the rough around the edges Rios. He is just afraid of getting hurt since he can't expect to beat Rios in a safe UD and land a rematch with Pacquiao. He will have to go for the stoppage. He knows if he does this he will open himself for some punishment.

If Marquez wins though, he loses his rising star's undefeated record and pretty much pressures him to make a fourth fight with Pac.
Also Marquez doesn't have to take a rematch with Rios if he wins, if Arum tries to force it, that doesn't look good on him at all.

Marquez ducked a lot of fighters, actually. Khan, Rios, Bradley, Ortiz, Berto. But he's getting a pass for it. No one cares. He's still the darling of many fans.

Garcia would be nice since he'll be the interim champ and would challenge for the full title, I don't know if it'll happen though

When did he duck Bradley?
And he ducked 2 Welterweights? He's such a pu$$y right?

I think it's time for you to go to sleep and let the big boys talk boxing here.

If anybody runs the risk of looking an "amateurish clown" it's Rios, who will probably get KO'd in the later rounds after Marquez completely figures him out (I do believe Rios has a slim shot, and will at least make it a war early on). People cite the Diaz fight as a blueprint of how Rios is going to beat Marquez, but even though Rios has more power than Diaz, he's not as good of a boxer as him. And when has Rios ever been in the ring with somebody who hits as hard and accurate as Marquez?

marquez rios would be fight of the year easily.

Hope it's Pac. Pac will shut him out this time and knock his complaining ass out. Put him 4-0 and will finally seal these haters' mouths shut.
