    No. He should give Pacquiao a rematch. Pacquiao gave him several rematches.

    Pacquiao gave him rematches because nearly everyone under the sun thought marquez won most of there fights,he wanted a definitive end to there rivalry and he got one, just not how he hoped itd end.

    Marquez has enough left to beat timothy bradley and hopefully garcia personally would love to see him vs mathysse or rios and win an absolute war then call it quits.

    if he retired now id be gutted to see him go but hes more than earned it if he chose to.

    I think he'd handle Garcia. Bradley, I'm not so sure. Bradley's a very talented boxer and very intelligent in the ring. Not a great style matchup for JMM.

    I bet you the people who voted yes are the younger crowd who don't yet work for a living and the people who voted no are the older crowd who do earn a living and can appreciate the extra 10 million in cash.

    With his improved physique ????
    He can knock out anybody at WW and down, he should try to unify LWW / WW
    to become first Mexican who won belts in 5 different classes.
    He still has 2 years (4-5 fights) left in him.

    Too late ... Morales should retire, he does not belong in the same ring with Marquez anymore.

    Yeah, he's a gritty kind of guy, finds a way to win etc. Just think it's a tougher matchup for Juan than Garcia.

    He's already made a bundle of money, so why risk your health?

    I enjoyed the series between him and Pac. Good thing referee Joe Cortez allowed the first fight to go on after that first round which had the three KD's. This is what led to JMM's big comeback and made the series what it became.

    The issue is settled between the two. And any question re his career accomplishments are now settled. Therefore, he should retire, train young boxers, and enjoy the limelight.

    6 million= 70-80 million in Mexico, why would he want more money and risk losing the opportunity to retire and have people remember him with a 6 round brutal KO of Pacman
