What a shame this never happened when both were in their prime. I think Israel takes it. His power and heart trumps Juanma.
GTFO here with that bull****. Juanma took Marquez best punches and didnt get his nose busted like Israel.
OP clearly specified PRIME. The Marquez that fought JuanMa was spent. (ironically Izzy had a lot to do with that). Vazquez vs Juanma would've been FOTY candidate for sure. Close fight but going with Vazquez(better skilled and more powerful than Salido)
Juanma is built like a bull at 122-126 and falls short from being a great fighter, but both prime Rafa and Izzy destroy Juanma, but it would be fun while it lasted. A shot Rafa almost stopped Juanma Juanma ni le da coskillas a un Rafa en su mejor noche. Juanma couldn't handle Siri no way prime Rafa or Izzy. Juanma vs Vasquez Jr now that one I wanna see. All PR showdown. Vasquez Jr SD12 Lopez. Make that one happen!
They never were prime at the same time. :? Prime Vazquez = green (or not yet pro) JuanMa Prime Lopez = shot Vazquez
Juan Ma twice got tko'd on his feet ... I don't think Jhonny Perez got a better chin! People forget Nishioka etc, and Salido has been dropped 4 times in his last 2 fight, yet Juan Ma got the weakest chin at 126?
