    Getting some much needed rest. I figure its about time he is getting back in the ring.
    2 brutal fights like that in a year will take a toll on ur body.
    I dont ever wanna see him fight Vasquez again.

    I just finished watching the Vazquez - Marquez trilogy.

    I do miss him... a fourth fight with Vazquez can't be wrong.

    It's all wrong. Thats why its called Trilogy. Best of 3 wins.

    As far as I know he is just resting. Vazquez is out because of Eye Surgery.

    I agree that this trilogy is simply epic, it's one of the best trilogies of all times.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a fourth fight, they're made for eachother, they make for a good fight 1000/1000 times.

    You may be right though, in the years to come they can look back at the trilogy like Patterson and Ingemar Johansson did.:good

    I do not want to see a fourth fight at all... 2 great fighters, warriors, give us absolutely EVERYTHING in 3 classic affairs. They have given away enough of themselves for the sport and its followers on 3 separate occasions. Enough is enough i want these guys to be able to enjoy their lives after boxing in good health. They should leave each other alone.

    It can be wrong, for the 2 warriors' health. They already punished each other like hell, and they can't stop landing clean blows. Sorry, but the selfishness of us, boxing fanatics shouldn't force them to risk brain damage, and the triology offers plenty of action to rewatch for the rest of our lives. To be honest, I wouldn't even mind them hanging up. They both took a hell of a beating. I don't think they are the same anyway. But at least they deserve a long lay-off and a few tune-ups before fighting an elite fighter again.

    three fights against each another are already more than enough. for their health's sake, they should be fighting others for a change. if you still want to see a 4th, you are already a certified masochist.

    I want to see a fourth fight. I want boxing to get out of the mentality of not fighting numerous time. For example people would frown on the Hatton v Floyd 2 fight. **** it, make the fight. Vasquez v Marquez 4, make the fight. Even if someone has won clearly or won a trilogy. Make the fight again, as long as it is top fighters mixing it up. Back in the day, they just fought over and over even if previous wins were clear.
