According to ESPN, if Juan Manuel Marquez renews his contract with Golden Boy, he will most likely be fighting Zab Judah next. What do you guys think?

It's a dangerous fight for him. You never know which Zab Judah is going to show up 'Super' Zab or the "Well he has a lot of potential" Zab. Zab still has fast hands and good power, it will be interesting if it comes off.
I don't believe there is any more super Zab left. I believe there is a very good junior welterweight Zab that can hang with the bottom half of the top ten in the division. The fight against Matthyse was close and could probably have gone either way. Zab may even be a tad bit overrated right now.
I also believe that Marquez is a little overrated too at these higher weight classes. He beat Kastidis and Diaz at 135. He hasn't faced the real champs in the division. He's top ten p4p because he's a great champion of our time and he has climbed the weight classes, but he has done all that much at 135. With that said, he deserves a Zab Judah fight, which I believe he wins, and makes good change doing so.
Judah could be dangerous since he is really fast , but Marquez has shown a great chin and even if he goes down, he always gets up. I have a feeling Marquez would outwork, and ko Judah with a counter in the later rounds. Judah does not throw enough to outpoint JMM
I think Marquez will probably take his customary trip to the canvas early. If he gets up.... It's over... Zab's done. News Zab, Old Zab, Super Zab, Whatever Zab... Still seems to have focus problems and lose his fire as soon as he realizes things aren't going to be as easy as they sounded when he was talking the talk.
As an early Zab fan.. it feels like I was waiting forever for this kid to get his crap together and apply himself....
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

I think JMM wins a decision, this should be a good fight if it happens.
A good tuneup for JMM to see how he handles Jr Welterweight.
Judah KO4 or JMM W12. Only way I see that going down but I have a hard time thinking Marquez will take this fight. Judah's with Main Events isn't he? GBP will make a fight with Amir for bigger bucks @ 140 before they split the pot with another promotor and fight Zab.
Well if JMM wants to win another title at a different weightclass, to be the first mexican to do so in 4 weightclasses. Then Zab Judah isn't a bad tune up but i still don't think Zab Judah. Really deserves another big fight though, he's had so many chances but i'd like to see how my boy handles 140, considering he looked bloated and not very good at 147.
how's zab keep getting these fights got a semi gift against matthyse, unless marquez gets old which is bound to happen soon he finishes zab in the distance.
I think JMM could stay at 135 to Zabs 140 and still pick him apart. Judah is now a 6 round fighter who winds up for the big shot finish. JMM via late tko on cuts.
Looking to upstage Mayweather and Pacquiao, Judah goes out looking for the early KO. In the process he gets himself stopped in the 2nd
