WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is very willing to face Erik Morales of on April 9 in Las Vegas. He says the only thing to prevent the fight from taking place is the money. He plans to meet with Golden Boy Promotions on January 20. If they make him a good offer, the fight will be made that day. Marquez and Morales have faced Marco Antonio Barrera and Manny Pacquiao but they never faced each other. Marquez wants to close the chapter of his era by facing Morales.
"I think there's motivation one way or another to begin closing the loop between Erik Morales, Manny Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barrera and I," said Juan Manuel to Sal Rodriguez. "And on the other hand, it opens the possibility of a super lightweight fight and to become the first Mexican to win four wordl championships
"I crushed the stone for a long time. I think it's fair that at this point there can be good money for a fight with Morales, and that is the only thing stopping me from fighting him. Hopefully the offer is good."
