Will he return to main event status when the suspension ends? Will he retire? Anyone care to see him return?
No. No. No. JuanMa has been badly exposed twice now. I don't see him having much of a future in boxing.
I am a Juan Ma Fan. & I'm Mexican. Just goes to show I really like his Style as a Fighter. He needs to rebuild like Amir Khan. Take 12-18 Months of & Retool. Than take on a Tune up Match before seriously Reconsidering a Return to The BIG Time.
Learn some defense for starters and stop looking for the KO all the time. I really think Arum was protecting him from Gamboa.
I would like to see him fight again as both of his losses are to the same person.. Let's see what he does against someone else before we completely write him off. He damn sure needs to be working on defense this whole suspension though.
Salido just has too much cajones for Juanma. Hopefully he comes back. I still would like to see a fight with him and maybe John or even GRJ.
Of course Juanma will come back. His last fight was on the edge of your seat type of stuff, even knocked Salido down. I am a fan of Salido and let me tell you that I never felt like he had the fight in hand until it was officially over. I respect the hell out of Lopez for him sticking to his word. Weeks before the fight he said it was going to be a war and he backed it up 100%. Salido's face was a mess! Juanma brought the fight and who knows how much it took out of both fighters since we haven't seen either of them in action since. Salido taking a well deserved vacation.
He's an exciting fighter and still very capable; his losses had as much to do with Salido being a savvy and tough veteran as they did with his own defensive flaws. He made a better account of himself in the rematch, and I'd definitely tune in if he came back. There's always room for improvement, and he's already a solid number 3 in his division. People saying he was "exposed" are just sad.
Who knows, maybe that vulnerability he showed might goad his opponents that they can get the better of him and pay for it. JuanMa can be hurt, but he can turn things around in a hurry. It just so happened that Salido's chin is made of stern stuff. I figure he'll be in a lot of quality fights although he won't make it as an elite anymore.
Hard to call a barn burner defeat exposed, we've always known Lopez liked to bang and looked for the KO. I agree. Nice avy by the way, barely recognize you with it.
He's hit the wall and its going to go as ugly as Khan's career has. Everybody knows his weakness and will beat him over the head with it until he quits.
Not everyone has Salido's chin, determination, and toughness, thus I doubt everyone will be beat him.
