Nice, so Marquez wouldn't fight Ruslan because he wanted a belt at 147, so why not fight the guy Ruslan knocked out in a non-title bout...

Nice duck Marquez And btw last time I checked scoring errors should be changed, so Pac should have won the first fight. either way Pac has more wins against Marquez than vice versa

This article has nothing to do with pacquiao first second a fighter like ruslan is tailored made for Marquez so what ruslan hits hard mark my words Marquez would counter him back to Russia two times styles make fights and believe it or not a guy like Alvarado will give Marquez more problems than provodkinov any night of the week.

Odd matchup. I guess it is just a comeback fight for Marquez after the close loss to Bradley. Alvarado's movement may give Marquez some trouble. To me, though, the most likely outcome is either late stoppage for Marquez or wide decision for Marquez. Marquez has shown that since moving up to welterweight, he has developed real power. One does not simply walk through his punches. Which is why I'd favor Marquez over Ruslan as well. Still, Marquez wants to fight at 147 and Ruslan at 140, so that fight might not be possible. It makes Marquez look bad that he said he only wants legacy fights so he wouldn't fight Ruslan but then took this fight.

Nice avoiding Provodnikov, Marquez.

Just retire already.

This right here...

Sexy co-feature, huh? How about Chris Arreola vs. Andy Ruiz? It don't get much sexier than that, .

Slow down now, Chris Arreola, thats a little bit toooooo much sexy..

Win or lose, I'm pretty sure at some point Alvarado will put Marquez flat on his back like Kats did in my sig. Thing is, after all of Marquez's wars and KDs, and his age, and the fact that Alvarado still has KO power, will he get up this time?

[Babalu11]

I'm a big Marquez supporter but really? He said he won't gain anything from fighting Provo and now he's fighting the guy that lost to Provo?? I'm dissapointed. Either way Alvarado has a chance, he was boxing good until he started hitting hit.

So people wanna see JMM against a hard puncher so the chance of KO is greater...hmmmmm people still mad over that Pac ko.

I didn't say anything about Marquez in that quote, what r u talkin about?

[zuz]

Well read what you wrote again. You wrote he's too skilled and smart (about being able to be caught with punches).

He got knocked down once against Katsidis and the early rounds got into trouble with Diaz.

Just saying, if Provo connects, you never know what could happen. It's boxing . ***** happens. JMM has always come back and adjusted, but what if Provo connects and his power is too much this time?

I got ur point pal.

Am just being a bit fan of JMM.

Nevertheless, am really assuming Juan would beat him.

[whoseyourdaddy]

No he wouldn't.

Marquez is too skilled smart and experienced for that kind of shit.

Yes but Marquez is old, should've retired after the last fight with Pac, he did not have the legs nor the reflexes, he usually displayd.

I hate marquez,alvarado is the bigger man here and can box and move...marquez best traits are counter punching on the inside,if rado sticks and moves like he did in the 2nd rios fight,and how bradley did against marquez,he should beat him......rado aint the baby bull guys...even if its ud for rado,marquez will still cry robbery,that classless piece of crap!!war rado!!
