    Marquez and Vazquez are supposed to fight eachother next. I am just saying technically them fighting eachother should be more difficult than them facing JML or Caballero based on the p4p ranking system. I want them to face these two before they fight eachother again. They are begining to hold of the division. When Barrera-Morales or Ali-Frazier had their trilogies they didn't hold up the whole division. If Rafael or Israel want to take a rest and fight weak opposition thats fine, but the want to go into war, let someone else get a chance. Israel and Vazquez haven't fought since March, that is plenty of time to recover from anything that isn't permanent. They are going to be as fresh as they will ever be. Nobody would know who Pacquiao was if he got shafted like this.

    Cotto fought Gomez only because a matchup between him and Clottey didn't pan out.

    Wright only had Soliman as a weak fight inbetween Trinidad, Quartey, Taylor, Hopkins.

    Hopkins has just foughten Taylorx2, Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe, Pavli, when is he going to take a break?
    Pacquiao hasn't foughten weak opposition in almost forever even "Break" fighters are against guys like Jorge Solis who in almost any division would be considered one of the top fighters.

    Well, I’m with Taeth here, I mean how many times we saw great fighters, champions or even #1 P4P ducking or avoiding other top class opponents. How many of us wouldn’t have wanted to see PBF vs. Cotto for example? Me also I would prefer to see Izzy fighting Caballero or Rafael vs. JML than Marquez – Vazquez 4 even though the third was tremendous. This is one of the few advantages (or perhaps the only one) of the amateur boxing over pro: if you want a title you can’t avoid or duck anybody.

    I am not even sure I would say they are ducking other guys, because to go up against eachother is not for the faint of heart. They know what the other guy can do, and its not something I think anyone relishes. Also I want to make it clear that I am also not saying that Marquez-Vazquez 4 should never happen, I am just saying they are the only two guys that Caballero and Juan Manuel Lopez can really test themselves against besides eachother, and I think its time especially in this relatively deep division for the champs to spread the wealth and prosperity to the rest.
