This the fight I've been dying to see it must be made before the end of the year. With that said I'd can't go away from Izzy.
With the possible exception of a Donaire/Darchinyan rematch, this is the best match to be made in boxing south of lightweight.
It would be JuanMa's toughest challenge but I dont think Vazquez can pull off the trigger anymore. Juanma will destroy him if the meet.
We dont know though, we're just guessing he cant do it anymore based on the wars he's been in and the length of time he's been out. Maybe after a fight back he'll still be at his best. Maybe thats just wishful thinkin.
this would be an unbelievable fight, an absolute legend with tonnes of experience, heart, ability Vs my favourite boxer at the moment and future p4p no.1
Izzy is getting on, now.. and starting to slow down... JuanMa's speeding up & hitting harder... + boxing better pretty much every fight! plus he's HUGE at that weight, esp. compared to Izzy. Unless Izzy rolls back the years (doesn't need to roll back too many, either!), if you were betting.. you'd have to bet on JuanMa..! Same thing if it was Rafa vs. JuanMa. Those epic Latin wars take a lot out of you. Some of that spark, which often you cannot get back! Plus there's that lay-off....
an absolute barn burner here, i have never seen juanma's chin tested so......but i like izzy here, a proven warrior.
Pfft, based on what?! Lopez has never even faced the type of opposition that Vazquez has faced and beaten.
