Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez: I Want To Fight One More Time

[Fook That BOY]

JMM vs Floyd jr II. Retirement money for JMM and easy fight for JR. With bad knee,JMM can't catch JR in running.

I wonder how much Marquez has at this stage. Wouldn't mind seeing him against Brook if he has something left although I think Mayweather-Brook is more likely to happen than Brook-Marquez

[Weebler I]

Fight Ruslan.

But nah he won't, Marquez is another one of these old cherrypickers that we're never going to get rid of.

Marquez vs Khan would be epic

[BrometheusBob.]

Former four division world champion Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez, 41-years-old, is looking to have one more fight before retirement. Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs) has been away from the ring since last May, when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Mike Alvarado at The Forum in Los Angeles, California.

Marquez has made attempts to return in the last twelve months, but a lingering knee injury has continued to delay his plans. Several training camps have been disrupted by the injury.

After months of rehabilitation, Marquez will sit down with his doctor in a month's time and make a final decision on his career.

Knee injuries are serious in any sport, and Boxing is far from an exception. If he's going to fight anyone it might as well be someone on the older side like Pac or maybe Mosley since he's made it sound like he'd come back to fight someone who is respected and close to his age. But, I'm thinking retirement is best. Can't really top getting a colossal knockout of a great like Pac as the ~2.5-3/1 underdog at this point.

Retire JMM, you are a legend and an ATG. You have nothing left to prove.

I don't think Marquez has anything left if he has a knee injury on top of his age and ring-wear. I don't pick him to beat anybody now except the absolute softest opponents.

41 is really old for the smaller guys.
