Marquez should go back to superfeatherweight or lightweight where his fighting skills are at its maximum best.
Juan can also try to stick around and bang with the lightwelterweights or welterweights, but then again, considering his age, wear-and-tear, and the like, even the patsies in those divisions will glow against him. I'm afraid size-wise, he will continually experience the short end in a mismatch. This I believe, is less than "the" viable option.
I'd say then, that he should ply his obvious talent where the "money fights" for him still lay abundant, for there is not much tenure left in his fighting boots.
To be wise monetarily or financially...when the longevity in one's career is no longer, or when one has already seen the knot that had held for strength in his long rope of a career, that it would just make perfect sense to be so. Would it not?
