[ross]

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!

What a load of nonsense. Looks like the dude is just writing for the sake of writing something.

I would MUCH prefer to see him face Soto, Bradley, Matthysse, Peterson, Khan, Rios, Guerrero etc., but if this is a fight in Mexico and his plan is to face one of those guys in his following fight, then I reluctantly can see the point although I don't support it. Imagine if Pacquiao or Floyd faced Alvarado in their next fight? Even Pacquiao's back-up options are better than Alvarado.

Marquez has had two big fights against Floyd and Manny lately and has otherwise fought mediocre opposition, he is nowhere Manny or Floyd in terms of opponents, and until his shock result over Manny was pretty much out of the picture. His last fight was against some dude called Likar Ramos, then prior to that he had beaten Katsidis and rematched a shot Juan Diaz.

Alvarado is no worse than any of Marquez's opponents in the past 3 years, Floyd and Manny excluded. In many ways he is more relevant being an undefeated fighter and not a past his best, on the slide guy like Casamayor, Katsidis or Diaz, none of which are at all relevant to the sport any more.

I think Alvarado is a decent fight, equivilant to a fight with Mike Jones at welter, who I personally would much rather see Manny face than Cotto again.

Yea, I mean Marquez basically take stay busy fights until a big enough fight becomes available.
