Where does Marquez go from here?

[bond007]

First, it need be established... retirement for Juan Manuel Marquez is premature! No shame in his loss. He was simply the handicapped party in a mismatch! For those who proclaim the validity of Juan's early retirement should examine their heads.

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?

Great choice of words, Marquez vs. Mayweather was a mismatch and on top of that sisi Floyd did not make weight that 2 pounds ment alot as far as energy and speed for Floyd, no excuses but Floyd should fight someone his own size to claim the 1 P4P. Yes he beat a small guy with a big name, Although Marquez did ask for the fight but he bit more than he can chew, but at the end he came out winning, he did not get knocked out and 600,000 over his pay is not bad. I would personally like to see Marquez Vs. Erick Morales.
