Last Three opponents: Joel Casamayor (W)
Juan Diaz (W)
Floyd Mayweather (L)
Up Next: Currently in talks for a potential match-up with Ricky Hatton.
Why he is here: Despite his recent setback against Floyd Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez was on a roll. He lost a disputed decision to Manny Pacquiao, moved up in weight and knocked out the then lineal champ Joel Casamayor.
