    Very hard fight to choose from. Vazquez has been out for a while so lopez would be the favorite coming in but i saw weakness in lopez when he fought penalosa. Lopez defense is not as good and vazquez punches harder than penalosa. How will lopez take vazquez power shots is the question?

    I wont be surprise if vazquez wins this fight by KO.

    Vazquez need to first fight one or two tune ups to fight Lopez, just like Marquez is doing. And i think Marquez is the next oponent for Lopez if he beat Lonchti. Lopez one at least 5 defenses on that weight. He wants the 5 defenses ring.

    Based on one simple fact. Vazquez isn't the same Vazquez from two to three years ago. The trilogy he just had with Marquez took a lot out of him. Plus, he has had a long and distinguished career. A lot of wars+a lot of wear and tear+father time=significant advantage to Lopez. Pre-trilogy Vazquez beats Lopez in a hard fought battle. Now? Vazquez takes an unnecessary beating en route to a TKO loss, unfortunately.

    I just hope Lopez doesn't take the PacMan career path, which is fighting past-their-best Mexican warriors like Vazquez or Marquez. He won't be getting a lot of credit from me if those fights come off because there are a lot fresher fighters he can fight right now.

    Vazquez would teach Lopez a lesson. Vazquez will be too old by the time Lopez gets the experience, intelligence, and balls to be able to beat him

    I think Vasquez is shot to pieces. He should come back and fight a Steve Moliter or someone of that caliber before fighting Juanma to see how much he has left.
