In October, Marquez dropped a close split decision to WBO Welterweight Champion Tim Bradley, failing in his quest to a win a fifth world title.

If Manny Pacquiao opts to face Bradley in April, the current WBO welterweight champion will not be available anytime soon. And if Bradley loses his title to Manny, Team Marquez will be forced to evaluate other options.
Newly-crowned WBO Jr Welterweight Champion Ruslan Provodnikov is one fighter who'll be happy to accommodate Marquez. However, the Mexican has no interest in fighting the Russian who owns a title at 140 lbs but not 147.

"I have to see the possibilities and if the opportunity opens - why not go get it. There is the International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Association (WBA), and the World Boxing Council (WBC)," said Marquez.
