Where does Marquez go from here?

Marquez can wait for Pac to lose to Cotto and then they can have their decider.

Should Pac lose next month then its a natural fight for both of them so thats what Marquez will be hoping for. It just wont be as big as it should have been.

Agreed. A grudge match between Pacquiao and Marquez at 140 would be huge. I'd watch in a second. Who else is a big fight for Pacquiao if he loses to Cotto? It makes sense.

Don't think that one will ever come off now, I reckon that time will jump all over JMM and he will get old very quickly. Pac although not really tested recently does appear to be physically very strong. I could see it being like a Morales type ending to the series.

Marquez has options.

He's still the lightweight champ. He can go back down to 135 and defend against Katsidis, Valero, Soto, etc. He could fight Diaz again at 135 or 140.

He could fight Hatton at 140, although I don't have a ton of interest in that one. Pacquiao is still out there, if Floyd and Shane fight and Manny needs an opponent.

I'm not sure how much Marquez has left, but he should be able to get a decent payday on HBO in his next fight.
