No one out there has the rep and cache that Marquez has. If Barrera-Pacquiao can't happen, then Barrera-Marquez is the only other big fight to be made IMO.

And from Marquez's perspective, you know he wants this fight. He's fought all these years and has never got a chance to prove himself against the two great Mexican fighters of this generation, Barrera and Morales. He's not going to pass up the opportunity to go up against Barrera.
Agreed. Barrera's days are either numbered...or already crossed offa the calendar.

As far as Marquez not getting a shot at proving himself...I've always said that he's one of the best kept secrets of 130lbs...looking into it a bit deeper...that might be a curse. I still can't for the life of me understand why he couldn't get the matches.

Know what I mean? I'm sure the easy answer is that it's his style only being pleasing to purists & what not...but that's changed now. I don't kjnow...I jsut really dig on Marquez.

Sorry about the typing...bit wasted at the momemnt. Heh hehe heh.

You might laugh at this one...but I really REALLY wanted to see Marquez vs Harrison...but he can't beat Jack Daniels...so how the fwock's he ever gonna get a shot at Marquez.
