Juan Manuel Marquez is seriously considering a fight against “Mile High” Mike Alvarado.
Although Marquez had strictly been focused on a rematch with Timothy Bradley–which obviously can’t happen until Bradley handles business against Manny Pacquiao–he now is coming around on a clash versus Alvarado.
If he agrees to terms to fight Alvarado, the bout will take place at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA on May 17.
Just spoke to Fernando Beltran in Mexico City. @jmmarquez_1 liked the terms of May 17 Forum fight vs. @MileHighMike303.

@jmmarquez_1 will now run deal past his wife and trainer Nacho Beristain and likely agree to deal Thursday, Beltran said.
