    just got done watching Zuniga v Pavlik and I like him. Plus I didnt know he was from Colombia so hes got my support (I pretty much support all colombian fighters). He looked good on his last fight on Shobox. Anyways, what kind of threat does he pose for the super middle division? I think hes got a great left hook - can he become champ? what are your thoughts on him vs Bute or Kessler does he have a chance?

    IMO, anybody that's gonna hate at all on Zuniga don't know **** about him. He's good fighter that's good for boxing, and he may win a belt someday (not against Calzaghe IMO, but he will)

    Pfft

    Hows that hating?

    Zuniga is the definition of a no-bull**** fighter. He is hard as and can really hit but he is one of the slowest fighters in the top 20 at supermiddle. He is far from a well schooled boxer and has shown to have questionable stamina.

    Beating a dangerously over the hill echols and an extremely overrated Oganov does not mean much to me at all.

    Perfect ESPN fighter, but I cant see even challenging for a titlelet alone winning one.

    Zuniga is tough as nails fringe contender at Super Middleweight.
    I feel he may get a title shot as he is very durable.

    Pretty good fighter. Very good chin. Decent power. Big heart.
    Id say he would have a chance with most of the top contenders at Super Middle. Nice guy too!

    "He is far from a well schooled boxer and has shown to have questionable stamina."

    Woah, he has nothing if not ridiculous stamina. From what I've seen of him, he is very raw and wild, but he never stops punching and he is damn near impossible to knock out (Pavlik only stopped him because he was bleeding profusely).

    A fight with Zuniga= guaranteed action. I hope his profile increases...love this guy

    I like Zuniga. He is a pretty decent fighter in my opinion. His performance against Oganov was impressive.

    Ridiculous...not from what ive seen.

    Admittedly he has outlasted some fighters but I dont think that equates to ridiculous stamina.

    There have been fights Ive seen him in he has wasted shots and energy and puffed out.
