Marquez to face Mike Alvarado in Mexico City according to his brother... in March

[Manos de Piedra]

Marquez beats the crap out of him. JMM needs to be fighting for a title at 140.

[CFH]

I don't understand this. I'd much rather see Marquez face Bradley or someone else on that level.

Maybe he's hesitant to work with Arum after getting screwed over so many times?

[Master]

Is JMM trying to stay busy or is it just a negotiation tool to ensure he gets a fight with Manny?

[Spicoli]

Man, not every single fight can revolve around the elite facing the elite or the Manny-Floyd sweepstakes. There is a reason Alvarado was featured on the PPV undercard in what was a pretty damn good fight. This is about a great style match for Marquez while wearing the new weight vs a young undefeated hard charger who will go out on his shield. I honestly have no prob with it.

[Tam Seddon]

Yeah I dont see the problem in this fight, hes an undeafeated fighter whos got great heart. I thought his fight against Prescott was outstanding. I think he will give Marquez a good fight and I think if Marquez can beat him its a decent name on his record. I think Alvarado deserves to fight a top rated fighter, I think it will be a good fight.

[Kev]

Alvarado is undefeated and coming off a KO win over Breidis Prescott. That's a better matchup than most of Marquez recent fights imo, Likar Ramos, Diaz 1 and 2, Katsidis, Casamayor. Some big names there but most werent near their best and none are relevent to boxing any more.

Alvaredo is a right now fighter so it's a decent fight.

I just came across this artical where the writer accuses Marquez of taking steroids! "Marquez, who has a history of using performance enhancing drugs"

As far as I know hes never taken or been found taking anything! Wankers! marquez is whats good about the sport!
