Rumor has it that two-time former world champion Rafael Márquez of Mexico 
could face off against Juan Manuel Lopez on September 18 in Las Vegas for Juanma’s WBO featherweight world championship. The clash would take place the week of the annual Mexican Independence Day festivities and be the latest collision in the fabled rivalry between Mexican and Puerto Rican fighters.

WBC/WBO bantamweight Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel will apparently go ahead with a bout against Rafael “Torito” Concepción on July 17 in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico. He also has a date with WBO interim champ Eric Morel in the works.
I think Marquez would be in over his head versus Lopez. He has no business in the featherweight division.
I go for JuanMa on this one. 🙂
I agree, I think Marquez could pull it off.
