...who the hell is he going to fight? Super feather weight is probably the emptiest class in all of boxing at the moment: WBC - Takahiro Aoh WBA - Takashi Uchiyama WBAi - Jorge Solis (vs Gamboa next) IBF - Mzonke Fana (lost to MAB years ago) WBO - Ricky Burns (UK market) Linares (lightweight?) Litzau (is he really the most probable opponent???) Salgado (beat Linares) Caballero (???) Is he going to break in to the Japanese market?
Featherweight.... Chris John..... Hawsega (Messed up the spelling).... Rios..... Ponce De Leon... possibly Donaire... AND GAMBOA!!!!! It's quite clear where the moneys at for him.
If he can make 126 safely, he really should stay there for the next few years. The 130 division isn't even deep enough to be called paper-thin. The only good thing about his rumoured 2012 move up, is that Arum admitted it will force him to make the Gamboa fight sooner rather than later.
Two year at feather clean up and move up a KO that Burns that beat Martinez and get a revenge for beating a Puertorrican.
hopepfully arum makes the fight with gamboa this year now,then i have no problem with juanma going to 130
it's huge in england atm, but globally speaking it's weak as fuk. i say he fights gamboa, moves up and beats litzau for a vacant belt and moves straight up to lightweight - unless donaire catches up with him first! he's already beaten de leon and a caballero fight means nothing now.
Where has this come from , ive never heard anything of Juanma moving up , he is a young solid FW in his prime with a whole host of great opponents in his division and the 2 below . He has no need to be even be thinking about moving from FW for the next 2 years , unless a selected opponent moved from FW to SFW and they wanted to make the fight .
His trainer said that he'll have to move up to 126 next year - he thinks it's getting tough for JuanMa to make the weight. Arum said he thinks he can stay at 122 for a few years though - both interviews are on B-Scene.
ya theres plenty of fights 2 be made. after his fight with salido its time for him to fight john or gamboa anything else would b a major dissapointment.
