If it took place, it would be a great fight between two great fighters who are now in the twilight of their legendary careers: Juan Manuel Marquez against Miguel Cotto. And, in a piece over on ESPN.com, Dan Rafael has reported how Marquez, inactive since his May 2014 points win over Mike Alvarado, is in talks to face Cotto later this year.
Understandably, considering his layoff, the Mexican great is not 100-percent sure he will … Read Article
By Carlos Ortiz: In a fight that would surely catch the imagination of the boxing world, there is a possibility that 42-year-old Mexican star Juan Manuel Marquez (57-7-2, 42 KOs) could return to the ring for a huge fight against 35-year-old middleweight Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) in 2016.
Cotto’s trainer Freddie Roach likes the idea of Cotto fighting Marquez. It’s a fight that makes sense on many levels. Cotto was just beaten by a … Read Article
4 division titlist and future Hall of Fame Inductee, Juan Manuel Marquez – last seen beating Mike Alvarado in May 2014, has said he is still undecided over any potential ring return, although the knee injury that has seen him sidelined of late is ‘feeling good,’ and he has resumed light training.

Fernando Beltran and Ignacio Beristain (promoter and trainer for Marquez) have said that Juan Manuel will fight again and that it will be in 2015. At 41 years of age the Mexican legend has the right to be picky with his fights and having fought just once in 2013 and 2014 it is likely he will only take one fight for this year also.
Marquez has said that his final goal as a fighter would … Read Article

The boxing world is abuzz, and not in any way related to an upcoming fight or even a specific fighter. Richard Schaefer, the man who worked tirelessly to promote Golden Boy Promotions to the powerhouse that it is today, has left the company. Many are confused about what’s happening today, and how Al Haymon’s and Floyd Mayweather’s decisions will affect future business.
But hopefully, it’s not all bad. After all, if things work out properly, … Read Article
When two fighters, who are almost evenly matched, fight multiple times, the outcome of each bout eventually becomes subject to the law of probabilities. In other words, the more times the combatants fight, the greater each one’s chance of losing – or winning.
Applying this same law to Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, if they fought 10 times, they would probably win five fights each, on average, minus of course the controversial decisions from … Read Article
