    Some say he's nothing, some think he's very good. I've even heard some say that he's the best, better than Pacquiao and J. M. Marquez. I've only seen him fight Rocky Juarez, which was Rocky's first loss.
    What do ya'll think?

    A severly underrated boxer-puncher with good fundamentals and defense. He is also a pretty big SFW.

    yeah he's good.

    a definite threat to guzman.

    although i favour guzman on a close-ish decision.

    Soto is a very good fighter. Great puncher, excellent power, good fundamentals, great toughness - simply put, a threat to anybody at 130.

    Very underrated. Soto is tal, rangy, phyiscally strong and throws straight, accurate and hard punches with a pretty good jab.

    he is a threat to anyone at 130 indeed but i think guzman has enough to beat him. let me just say that i have zero respect for booby pac's punching power, but then he hurt soto with a single punch. but then again this could be misleading as soto never appeared hurt against a much stronger puncher in juarez. i think he has a chance against guzman and valero or any other guy at 130. he'll wipe the floor with paper chum mzonke fana's ass but won't win against either jmm or pac IMO

    IMO he's not that good. He is a good fighter but not a good boxer. He cannot oubox Guzman but he can defeat him if he knock him dow a few times and win a decission that way. I think he will lose against Guzman.

    I think the same. Good solid fighter not on the elite level. But he can be dangerous.
