Newly-crowned southpaw WBA and WBO interim lightweight titlist Robert Guerrero has a lot going for him in the future.

During his recent appearance in Mexico City to honor WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido, the president of the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Francisco "Paco" Valcárcel, said that he expects a third fight to take place between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao. Marquez is the WBO's lightweight champion, while Pacquiao holds the WBO's welterweight crown. Marquez has an offer on the table for a fall trilogy. The offer reportedly includes a $5 million dollar guarantee plus a pay-per-view percentage.

Manny Pacquiao's next two opponents are not very popular items with World Boxing Council (WBC) President Jose Sulaiman. Don Jose is not enthusiastic about Pacquiao fight with Shane Mosley, which takes place on May 7 at the MGM Grand, or the Filipino's potential fall trilogy battle with Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez.

It's already been widely reported, including on this very website, that Top Rank sent an offer last Friday to Juan Manuel Marquez for a trilogy battle with Manny Pacquiao. The fight could take place on a date in October or November. While the exact terms are unknown, several outlets in Mexico are reporting, including Sal Rodriguez, that Marquez was offered a guarantee of $5 million with additional incentives like a percentage of the pay-per-view.

According to reports in Mexico, WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is leaning in the direction of accepting an offer to fight Manny Pacquiao for a third time in October. According to Univision, the boxer received a formal written offer from Pacquiao's promoter Top Rank with financial details that are reportedly enticing to the boxer. Marquez also has a lucrative two-fight deal on the table from Golden Boy Promotions, who also have the ability to match Top Rank's offer.

According to an earlier report on BoxingScene.com, WBO and WBA lightweight titlist Juan Manuel Marquez is heavily considering an offer from Manny Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank Promotions, to face the eight-division champion in a third bout in October.

IBF junior welterweight champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28KOs) is hoping that Juan Manuel Marquez (52-5, 38KOs) decides to move up in weight to pursue a fourth divisional title. During a recent interview, Marquez expressed his desire to become the first Mexican boxing to win a fourth divisional title. Marquez is trying to land a trilogy date with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. If the Pacquiao fight falls through, Marquez is willing to fight Judah.

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez just finished up a workout at the Romanza Gym in Mexico and discussed his future plans. Marquez has a sole goal in mind - a trilogy fight with Manny Pacquiao. If Marquez is unable to land Pacquiao, then he wants to chase the dream of winning a fourth world title in his fourth weight division.

Juan Manuel Marquez, the WBA/WBO world lightweight champion, has finally spoken out after weeks of silence. The former three division champion had recently met with Golden Boy Promotions to discuss the possibilty of re-signing with their company, and they offered him a two fight deal which includes a July showdown with IBF 140-pound champion Zab Judah.

Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez is emerging as the next opponent for WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao - as long as the Filipino defeats Shane Mosley on May 7 in a bout scheduled at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
