    Rafa was a very strong bantam weight, but even Izzy looks stronger than him at 122lbs.

    yeah after those past three fights i cant imagine either vasquez or marquez being able to take out lopez.

    its not a discredit to either one of them, they've simply been through too much. Vasquez has two trilogies to his name, the one with marquez and the one with oscar larios. he should have one or two more fights and then retire before he gets parkinsons.

    Rafa is a fairly good sized, physically strong 122 pounder, Vazquez is a large, very strong 122 pounder.. Juanma is a HUGE 122 pounder and he doesn't seem to have any problems making weight at all.

    Just putting a ton in on fights that I was confident in. The next time I'll go in huge is probably Diaz-Katsidis. 30,000 on Diaz to win and 20,000 on the under for that fight. Maybe also put half of my vcash on Valuev next week.

    Diaz vs. Kastsidis i going to be good I think Diaz is going to win too. But Katsidis is a tough customer, they are both coming off of devastating losses so we will see.

    I could not say that I am very confident, you must have a talent!

    Thing about Lopez is that he has alot of size for that division he's 5'7 while Izzy Vasquez is 5'4, so if one thinks Izzy does beat Juanma it won't be easy because of Lopez size and freakish power,and the fact that Izzy is not hard to hit and Lopez has freakish power,I hate to sound redundant.

    How is JMLs chin?
    You guys are making it seem like he will be the only one landing. Both Izzy and rafa have big power for that division also. Rafas jab is one of the best in the and he can knock people down with it.
    What about when Izzy gets inside because you know he will and unloads those left hooks.

    Will JML be able to take those shots? Who has he faced that will show us he can? PDL? NO

    We'll there's no indication that he has a weak chin but he has only faced one world class fighter with power and that was Ponce and that only lasted one round so again it's kind of hard to make a true assesment of his chin which is why Uncle Bob has'nt really spoke of putting him in there with Rafa and Izzy yet, one thing about Bob is that he knows how to move a fighter along to see where he's at in terms of readyness.

    Then its really hard to picture him beating these 2 guys. He is untested while both of these guys are very well tested and have both passed the tests.

    As of now I have Izzy and Rafa over him until he gets tested against a top caliber opponent. I would say Caballero since he has a title but I really dont think Caballero is very good at all either.
