JuanMa is very lucky he was not around when Morales, Barrera, and Marquez were fighting at 126lbs. :deal
Shane Mosley/Vernon Forrest, Shane/Winky Wright Jermaine Taylor/Pavlik etc. He will be back, but he better fight some tune ups to learn how to box better and get some defense. Get a better corner.
He was a very good prospect and has enjoyed success at world level, which is more than most fighters can say. He simply couldn't take that next step and now has absorbed too much punishment. JuanMa will never be the same, but I respect him and wish him the best.
So much hate, the guy still won world titles in two weights and has been in some wars. hasn't done too bad imo.
Im afraid he wont ever be the same, too much punishment. Cotto was one of the few that has bounced back after beatings, i dont think Juanma has the mental toughness to do what Cotto did, but i hope Im wrong. Wish him the best, exciting fighter.
Let's be real, JuanMa is too stubborn to change his ways. He neglects the most basic skills in boxing, like tucking his chin in and such. The kid has peaked and unless somebody has the power to get into his head, he is done as far as the elite level goes. Fighters at that caliber know how to expose those kind of weaknesses.
It's amazing how quickly things change. Once one of the brightest young fighters in the sport, and now he's considered done by most. All in the space of what, 4-5 years?
Since they made a thread over him I guess he was a good prospect. He lost to a stud (Salido) big deal. This thread is bunk. Enjoy, peace.
No defense, no speed, no chin, no stamina, average boxing skills, good power, that`s it, i don`t like him.
