To retire or not? Pacquiao rival Juan Manuel Marquez unsure of next move

Manny Pacquiao's longtime rival Juan Manuel Marquez is unsure of what to do next in his legendary boxing career.

 

Word has it that Marquez was eyeing a November ring return, but he dismissed the rumors regarding his future.

 

"I don't know anything regarding an alleged fight in November or a possible opponent. I keep thinking about my future [in boxing]," said Marquez as reported on Boxingscene.com.

 

"It's not an easy decision and I'm not taking it lightly. I only ask that there is no speculation about what I'm doing in my career."

 

The 41-year-old Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs) last fought in May when he dominated the younger Mike Alvarado over twelve rounds en route to a unanimous decision.

 

The victory made Marquez the No. 1 contender to Pacquiao's WBO world welterweight title and was amongst the initial selection of possible November opponent for Pacquiao.

 

An alleged demand of a $20 million guaranteed purse however, ultimately took the Mexican out of the equation. — JST, GMA News
