[Cinci Champ]

[WesternChamp]

if u want cotto then your gonna have to move up because cotto is not coming down to 147 and marquez is in no position to demand anything.

kneeguel cotto looking to fight an old past his best crippled fighter.sounds familiar shame on kneeguel joto.

Perhaps you missed the part about Marquez wanting this fight. I guess reading comprehension is a lost art.

Both Fights Interesting

Marquez vs Vargas interesting. Youth vs Experience. 2 Mexicans. It could sell. But it's not a big money fight and Marquez could pull off the win based on his skills and experience. Big risk for Top Rank to serve up their new champion to a
Legend.

Marquez vs Cotto. Easy fight to sell. Puerto Rico vs Mexico. 2 first ballot hall of famers. Would garner bigger money than Marquez vs Vargas. However Marquez hasn't fought in years and the weight could have to be compromised.

But really Marquez needs to decide if he's going to return and if he does. A come back fight with a guy like Sadam Ali would be good and if he wins fight either Vargas or Bradley again.

Cotto needs to fight at junior middleweight and fight one of those champions. Lara, the Charlos, and Smith would make their biggest paydays if they fought Cotto.

Cotto took everything from Canelo. Coming from a Mexican, Marquez wants nothing to do with Cotto as he'll get stopped. Stick to the softer hands, easier to hit Mexican in Jesse Vargas. Of all rivalries, Mexico loses this to Puerto Rico.

Do any two mfers wanna fight each other? Marquez wants Cotto, Cotto wants Alvarez, Alvarez wants anyone but GGG, GGG wants Alvarez, 168lbers want GGG, Brook wants Khan, Khan wants Manny or Floyd, wtf man.

Sounds about right. I'll add Manny wants Floyd and Floyd wants to fight women. J/K but he is becoming more and more like GGG trainer Sanchez. They both are media hos who LOVE to hear themselves talk and have an OPINION about EVERYTHING...

fantasy circle jerk party and no one wants to play. its a shame.
you got to admit though, marquez has fought them all. marquez vs cotto now, i still think all the advantages go to cotto. tough fight but cotto still too much for marquez. i would pay to see it though.

I would watch this fight with a hard on and some snacks bruh. Despite his diva tendencies, I'm a huge Cotto fan. His balls may be tinted in pink and covered in sparkly glitter, but they are formidable as all hell.

That being said, this would be an epic scrap between two ageing legends. Marquez with the guile and timing vs Cotto with the size and physical advantages.

The atmosphere would be electrifying come fight night, and would DESPERATELY need an undercard to compliment it.

Vargas gets him that fifth world title he craves... he should take the Vargas fight imo, because he stated many times before that history means more to him than money.

[Anton Chigurh]

Pathetic click bait by BoxingScene. Marquez never "rejected" a Vargas fight, he just said he'd prefer a Cotto fight.

Expect BoxingScene to shamelessly break down the interview that the excerpt of this article was taken from into bits and made into an article daily.

What

Marquez wanted a belt at 147. What is he thinking? If he wins that belt he in my opinion would be the best Mexican boxer ever.
