JUANMA LOPEZ: ''I WANT JUANMA MARQUEZ AT 130''
By Hesiquio Balderas PhilBoxing.com Mon, 08 Nov 2010

After beating the Mexican warrior Rafael Marquez, Juan Manuel Lopez sent a new challenge to another Juanma.
"I would love to fight Rafa again, I know he hurt his shoulder and he asked for a rematch and I would like to do it again, he is a tremendous warrior, a very strong puncher, he gave me the most difficult fight of my career. We have a date for next year in Puerto Rico maybe we can do it again there. I want the fight, he wants the fight, let's just tell Beltran and Arum to make everything work and we'll fight," said Lopez to the Mexican media.
"If the rematch goes on, then after beating Rafael again, I would love to fight Juanma Marquez, maybe he can come down to 130 pounds and we can get it on. I only want to fight the best and that should be a good story, fighting the Marquez brothers, I really want to fight Juanma at 130."
Juan Manuel Lopez is the current WBO featherweight champion and was sitting next to Rafa Marquez when this interview was conducted by TV Azteca, Marquez had an ice bag place above his shoulder, and Marquez also said he would love to get a rematch with the Puerto Rican star.
