Juan turned down a reported $750,000 for a rematch with Pacquaio and perhaps double that amount for a fight against Erik Morales.
To make matters worse, Marquez lost his titles without throwing a punch. He was stripped by the IBF because no promoter was willing to spend the minimum $50,000 on a purse bid for a mandatory title defense. Marquez was notified of the IBF’s action via fax. The WBA withdrew its recognition of Marquez as a “super champion’’ after he was stripped by the IBF. Boxers who unify world titles are afforded “super’’ status by the WBA.
Marquez is coming off of a 12-round loss to local favorite Chris John (36-0-1 going in) in a WBA title fight on March 4, 2006, in Indonesia. Marquez, who was on the wrong end of the 117-111, 116-110 and 116-112 decision, had a point deducted for low blows in the 10th and 11th rounds.
Well this says it all for Juan.
Results?
It's Juan vs. Jandaeng.
Rafael could have been much more highly regarded if not also for the poor management and promotional passiveness of his handlers.
Haven't they fired Beristain yet? Beristain could be a good trainer but a very DUMB manager.
