This is not a knock on JMM, he is one of my favorites to watch, but since I am unbiased I have to tell it like it is, and be real.
What I would do for Marquez is to wait on the outcome of Mayweather-guerrero. Since Marquez is not tied down to Top Rank and can freely do business with other promoters, he should try to get the winner of that fight, its the biggest money fight and more meaningful fight out there. Its also a viable option for Floyd since he has a six fight deal with showtime, Marquez is the man, he is the man who beat the man aka Pacman in a shocker, and did it in impressive one punch KO fashion heard around the globe. If he is going to fight a defensive boxer he should do it in a rematch against Floyd Mayweather, that fight is extremely marketable no matter what anyone here thinks, yes Floyd shut him out, but JMM knocked out Floyds biggest threat in Pacquiao and every casual fan who just tunes in to big bouts knows this, this is how they will market that fight and it will do big numbers. Fighting Tim Bradley is a low fight, financially its horrible, Bradley has no fanbase and his style is all wrong for Marquez we will see headbutts galore here, and the home depot center was almost completely empty when he fought Ruslan Provodnikov so he will not get big bucks for this bout.
Tim Bradley will not trade with Juan Manuel Marquez because he will not have to. Ruslan came at Bradley and JMM is not a come forward fighter the majority of time he comes forward he gets put on his ass, anytime Marquez tries to come forward with combos he gets dropped or hurt.
This fight reminds me of the fight Marquez took after declining the immediate rematch with Pacquiao and he wen to fight Chris John for less money, people forget that Marquez demanded a lot of money in the rematch, same as he is doing for this one, but when he fights Bradley he will not make more than 3 or 5 million. Even if he doesn't get 50 50 with Pac he will still get paid more than 10 million.
Nacho also advised Marquez to just take the 5th fight with Pacquiao because Pacman is a much easier fight for Marquez stylistically.
I for one don't want to see a rematch with Marquez vs. Pacquiao 5, JMM already sealed the books there. I personally think Pac gets knocked out again, or if Pac wins JMM will want another round, its a never ending story, but financially that is the only fight that will give JMM the money he desires.
Bradley will beat JMM by decision, JMM is not a typical Mexican style fighter, he is the bullfighter who fights the bull, back step counters all night he doesn't even know how to block punches, he mainly backs up or side steps fights fire with fire and side steps out out the way, his defense consists of offensive counters while on the back foot.
Bradley will not fight JMM the same way he fought Ruslan because JMM will not pressure him, Bradley only fought Ruslan that way because he had no choice he was fighting for his life in that fight, he was fighting to survive and fought like a guy who had no choice but to fight back.
Bradley beats Marquez by UD, Pacquiao beats Alvarado by knockout (unless he is completely shot and his chin no longer the same), and Marquez will be sitting out again with egg on his face and urine in his cup once again like after the Chris John bout.
