    Unless Puerto Ricans are the only ground minded boxing fans, I firmly dissaggree with you.

    Are the Ricans doing anything to you in Philly or in the past? I know there is another Philly person in here that just post negative things about Trinidad, Cotto, and now Juan Manuel Lopez just like you have:D. Let us know "maybe" a few a of us could help you in any way.:lol: You check the video by Juanma I posted my brother.

    The problem is people is misdirecting their frustration. Juanma is not the problem. The problem is Bob Arum. I hate that old SOB

    Well I have no problem with you dissagreeing with me just like I don't have a problem with people thinking Juanma was exposed, overrated, that he's afraid of Caballero etc. I take it like a grain of salt. I can see when both arguments have their good points and when they are going over board. Which is why I restate that I don't feel like ground minded fans should be affected at all by trolls, biased people and/or people who just view things differently.

    Dont see what you are smiling about. It was Caballero who called out Juanma. HE even said he was going to fight Juanma for free because he was going to KO Juanma. He didn't even mention Caballero until he started insulting him. Since the Ponce de LEon fight Juanma was saying the same two names. Izzy and Rafa. I am not sure he can beat them. But I know he wants them

    I have no problem with Trininidad. Anything negative I've posted about him was in jest. I haven't said anythng bad about JuanMa until he pulled his most recent stunt and he deserves the criticism he's getting. He has a poor attitude, especially for a guy who hasn't done much at this point in his career. My criticsims of Cotto are totally justified as well.

    Hmmnn let's see...

    Vazquez - 32 year old, partially shot, no belt

    Caballero - 33 year old, still prime, with 2 belts (WBA and IBF)

    Rafa - 34 year old, maybe still prime, no belt

    Well let JuanMa choose among these 3 OLD men...:D

    The age thing is going overboard with some, its not like the old times anymore. Todays fighters are fighting longer in age and handling smarter their careers. No more 100 or 200 fights, your lucky at times to see fighters with over 60 fights these days. The age is quickly just becoming a number in boxing.

    I get the feeling that if Arum dobles that offer, it will get the fight donne.

    I don't consider Caballero better than the other two right now. But you still don't see the point. This is not about challenging the hardest opponent. This is about which fight will give him more money. Caballero doesn't sell, period. That is a fact. Not even in Panama. From all the people worth mentioning at 122 and 126lbs Caballero is the lowest seller. there is not money there right now.

    That's a good point. However, I doubt the last couple of no names JuanMa fought made him more money than he would've made against Caballero. The major networks had a lot of interest in that fight. This last fight was fought on independant PPV and only 3,152 bought tickets to the fight. Top Rank is obviously looking to protect their investment. It's no coincidencs that the only threats they're interested in putting JuanMa in against are other Top Rank fighters. Unless their is a huge payday out there, expect JuanMa to only fight legit threats if they are with Top Rank.

    Can't argue with that. You know Bob Arum
