    He can surpass Cotto though who'll never surpass Tito himself..

    Juanma can be in between Tito and Cotto...

    Cotto will never do it and him having no personality ( wooden like Keanu reeves ) will have alot to do with it.. NO charisma.. He makes Joe Louis look very charismatic.

    well it all depends how people look at it... he is very capable of winning and becoming champ at different weight levels... perhaps he could become one of the few to accomplish that... that itself would be a gigantic achievement... all he has to do is win one major belt and move on to the next division quickly... just follow what Mayweather did:D

    I dont think so.. tito was a beast when he was in his prime. He went up from different weight class and beat everybody until he ran into hopkins.

    It's possible, but the truth is we haven't seen quite enough from Lopez in the face of any adversity to know how special he is. A lot of his strengths, however, would seem to be those that transfer well when moving up in weight. Straight and precise punches, ring composure, high punch output, and a full arsenal of punches help you win fights in any weight class. He seems to have the ability to match or , dare I say, transcend Tito if everything falls right into place for him, but again, it's too early to say for sure.

    Remember JuanMa is still developing as a fighter! We might be able to answer this in 2 or 3 years... Maybe 1 if he keeps the same road he is taking so far!

    Well, the answer is there is no way of knowing yet. People need to chill on the Juanma hype for the time being. I do donsider myself a fan of his but you gotta be patient and see what he's like in bigger fights and in different weight divisions, IMO, before comparing him with the likes of Tito.

    Juanma will have to fight and defeat renown fighters in order to even be in such a discussion. If both Gamboa and Linares continue to elevate their names and resumes then perhaps if Juanma were to defeat them both it would propel him into such a debate. A win over either one or both Vasquez and/or Marquez would also serve him well.

    Way too early to tell. Saying NO is being negative and counting him out, he's looking to go that path, that's for sure.

    Assuming he gets away with using illegal handwraps as Tito did then he can definitely go all the way.

    Not only matter of talent. Management and opponents available are important too. Let's wait and see...
