    As my favourite fighter, i hope he does. win or lose

    Surely he's made enough money to ensure his children have a very decent life


    what you lads think?

    I'm always in favor of guys fighting, so I'd say yes he should retire.

    However, he is channeling his inner Bernard Hopkins and if he doesn't take much damage in a victory over Bradley, I know if I were JMM with his passion for the sport I'd probably keep fighting.

    He's still top 10 p4p. Has good reflexes and skills still. he's got a few fights left in him. Winner of this fight will fight Cotto

    I really don't see Cotto coming down to 147 and I don't see JMM or Bradley moving up to 154.

    Not to sure why the guy's even still fighting tbh. He had the perfect opportunity to retire after he settled the score with Manny

    Yeah, I think he should hang em up because I feel Bradley may win this fight.

    He should retire. He's made enough money for his great, great grand kids to never worry about a peso.

    I don't know man, money goes quick.

    JMM didn't start making purses that "superstars" make until the '09 fight with Mayweather.

    If he is able to land another lucky knockout punch he should fight on

    Another lucky ko punch? Did you just get into boxing or something?

    I think Marquez has stayed in relatively good condition....even though he's been in a few wars. He definitely has a few more fights depending on how his fight with Timothy Bradley goes.
