Marquez is next scheduled to face Jimrex Jaca, a fight that is really just a financial exploitation of the Filipino-Mexican rivalry. If you're hoping for a competitive fight or some more clarity on Marquez's future, you might have to wait till next year.
At 126, I don't know what Marquez's options would be. He could go to Indonesia and drop another close one to Chris John again. To lure John out of Jakkarta, it would require an astronomical figure to do so. One that Marquez's limited momentum and drawing power couldn't create. Robert Guerrero is an attractive option, good luck on getting Gary Shaw to sign that one.
His best options are at 130, which is territory out of his comfort zone
If he is serious about doing something memorable in his career, he better put on the extra pounds and get cracking. Fights with Valero, Barrios, or a Pacquiao rematch would all reignite his career that had alot of momentum following the sizzling Pacquiao bout.
Marquez fails to understand that performing valiantly in a close draw against a name opponent does not mandate serious purses. Bernard Hopkins found out something similar. He was under the impression that having an alphabelt entitled him to a multi-million dollar payday. Only defeating Felix Trinidad got him anything. The only way to get some leverage for big paydays is to beat big names. Marquez has yet to do that.
If you got the opportunity to replace the business unsaavy Nacho Beristain as commander of his ship, what would you do?
