According to former four division world champion Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs), HBO is very interested in a potential catch-weight bout with former four division champion, Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33KOs) of Puerto Rico.

Marquez is still focused on doing two more fights. He initially looking at May and September, but now wants June and November.

Marquez, 42-years-old, has been out of the ring since winning a twelve round unanimous decision over former WBO junior welterweight champion Mike Alvarado at the Forum in Los Angeles. Since then Marquez has been dealing with a knee injury and rehabilitation to properly recover.

Marquez says HBO is interested in televising his return in June and also his second fight of the year in November, which is going to be the final bout of his pro career.

"I want to do two fights. I want to close out 2016 by saying goodbye to boxing. I want a major return in June. The people from HBO want the fights in June and November," Marquez said to ESPN Deportes.

"I love to do my fight in Mexico in June and I would like for my retirement to also be in Mexico. For me that would be great., but it would be difficult to bring Cotto [to Mexico]. Every fighter want to go out and win. I don't think Cotto would come here because of fear related to judging and a lot of other things. "

Cotto has not fought since last November's twelve round decision loss to Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. He is slated to return to the ring on June 18th, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn or Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The weight of the fight would be the determining factor on whether or not it happens. Marquez wants 147 and Cotto's trainer, Freddie Roach, believes his fighter can't make any less than 150.
