What a joke!! Marquez' camp claims Provodnikov brings nothing to the table yet they prefer to fight Prov 's latest KO victim. What does Alvarado bring to the table? Prov was right that Marquez is a coward and is the latest Cherry picker in boxing. Hope Alvarado pulls the upset.

marquez is ****** watch this back fire on him like the john fight. Marquez should just retire he is to small to be competing at welter weight.

marquez went life and death with one of, if not the , greatest fighter of our era , for 4 fights .........he is allowed to duck ruslan .....he gets a pass on this one

[Tay Roc]

JMM the boxing god will knock him out.

Sucks for Ruslan.

[lutenco]

What a cry baby JMM is...RUSLAN doesn't sell so he fights ALVARADO,OMG what a joke for a mexican,he is so lucky that his style is right-made for PACQUIAO!!!

[LouIE G]

FOR REAL!!! if he fights Alvarado that would be wack, ruslan is the champ right??

Oh yeah marquez is definately ducking provo!!marquez alvarado is still a good fight though...i wouldnt be mad if that fight got made.

[Fighting_Pride]

WTF?! marquez must be out of his mind. what's the point of fighting alvarado when provodnikov holds the title belt. i thought marquez only fought for legacy. dude must've taken too many shots to the head and can't think straight

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, and Zanfer Promotions President Fernando Beltran, are discussing the possibility of a fight between Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40KOs) and Mike Alvarado, which is being targeted for May 17th at The Forum in Los Angeles, California. The co-feature would see a lightweight bout between Mikey Garcia and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Marquez lost a twelve round split decision to WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in October, and then a week later Alvarado (34-2, 23KOs) was stopped by Ruslan Provodnikov.

I can see Marquez taking another L.

Hate to say this about a legend but Marquez is shook... he dont want it with Ruslan.

Alvarado isn't a lock to lose. He needs to stay committed to his successful strategy of boxing off his Back foot and controlling the range and scoring on combinations.

Marquez is an old man who can be outboxed but probably not out slugged by Alvarado. Only Provo or Rios could probably do that.
