You know what, I respect JMM so much that I'd rather him take this fight as a farewell fight in Mexico. And retire off a nice win avenging the loss that kind of ****ed up his career (temporarily). I don't want JMM to take anymore damage.
Any chance John moves all the way up to light welter? :think How hungry is he to go after "the man" who has boxing atwitter right now? Going up 2-0 on Marquez would absolutely rubber-stamp his 1st ballot HOF status. So it's high risk but also very high reward.
I think stylistically John will always have an advantage over Marquez. I think going up 1to 140 would be good, as long as the had the money to do it properly with the right people and a little help.
Boxrec LITERALLY has not one fight listed with Chris John weighing in over 126. This fight will not happen, straight up.
Actually, my response was to knowing exactly how sarcastic you were being and would make far less sense with not.
