Joan Guzman HOF

Joan Guzman is undefeated and has beaten Humberto Soto, Jorge Barrios, and Agapito Sanchez. These are no chums by the way. He hasn't faced MAB, EM, Pac, or JMM, because he is a victim of being the right fighter at the wrong time. It is only lately that Guzman is getting attention, and also he doesn't have a large fan base especially in the United States. Why should these fighters risk their star status, record, and money on a low reward (financially speaking) fight against Guzman?

But based on what we've seen of Guzman, he's up there with any of them. We can all admit to that, can't we? It's just that he hasn't put it on record yet. It seems so unfair that Guzman has to take the hard road for fame and glory whereas other boxers are promoted to become great. By the way, the four kings of the featherweights that I mentioned above worked their heart out to become someone. These are not the fighters that I'm criticizing as promoted fighters.

 

I guess what I'm concerned with is that Joan Guzman will be left out of the round-robin equation of MAB, EM, Pac, and JMM since he's neither promoted by Top Rank or Golden Boy. I've heard of suggestions for Guzman to fight JMM, but JMM has other options such as Valero, Linares, Luevano, Soto, Juarez, and Solis.

By the way, I haven't said that Joan Guzman should be HOF yet, I'm just bringing it out to everyone to discuss. It's a shame though with his talent that he isn't getting bigger fights. Good luck with him though.
