Another hard-hitting Mexican champion, World Boxing Association/International Boxing Federation featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, has indicated he is ready to take on IBF junior featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao.
The Filipino titlist gave legendary featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera a merciless beating last Sunday before his corner threw in the towel in the 11th round in front of some 10,000 stunned pro-Barrera fans at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Although ring announcer Michael Buffer proclaimed Pacquiao as the featherweight champion of the world, he only won the belt of Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing.
