    You are a pathetic fan. Now, whatever happens if Juanma fights either of these guys, it's gonna be a lose-lose situation for him :twisted:! Either way he won't get the credit.... but anyways, just wondering.... WHO, I mean WHOOOOO in HELL HAVE THESE 2 FOUGHT BEFORE BESIDES EACH OTHER????? Maybe Oscar Larios- Vazquez:yep? ANY intelligent answers? Specially if they come from you, FINITO or FREDY-WAK... Their fights have been as entertaining as Gatti-Ward, BUTTT that ,as history's proven, doesn't make them elite level. Their styles just makes them nemesis of each other. JML WOULD BEAT THEM BOTH IN THEIR PEAK OR NOT :lol:!!!

    Rafa should retire. G-Man was having problems with headaches before the fight with Benn. This could be a sign of brain damage and I don't wanna see any fighter permanently injured or killed in the ring.

    I love a great fight as much as anyone but you would have to be sick to take pleasure in watching a boxer get killed.

    Rafa has given us a lot in the ring. It is time to hang em up.

    damn, looks like JuanMa chances of taking the career path of Manny Pacquiao have taken a turn for the worse. He could have fought either of these two legends who beat up each other to make a name for himself.

    Looks like he'll have to do it the real way by fighting someone in their prime who hasn't been in ring wars.

    If Rafael is damaged, I hope he has the sense not to push things.

    I've never wanted a 4th right and actually myself was good with just two. I'd like to see them retire, or short of that milk their name recognition for what it's worth without taking too much risk.

    There's no way you can engage in wars like that and ever be the same.

    The problem is that according to Gary Shaw, the only way these guys would get a million dollar purse (which they truly deserve) would be in a 4th fight.

    :good Good point, Marquez would be a big loss to the sport if he retired, but an even bigger loss to his family if he got really hurt or worse.

    both of them should retire... they have nothing to prove both of them are warriors.

    I feel bad for both Izzy and Rafa. Both guys a great fighters and future H.O.F guys. The one who misses out the most is Juanma though. Him beating those two guys wont mean much anymore if they cant pull themselves together. But There health is more important. Hope they both recover well.
