Who is the closes fighter to JML's weight class that you would favor over him?

Depending on what they have left.....

Vazquez and Marquez

Not seen enough of Caballero..... Chris John, Gamboa?

 

I like JML over almost anyone from 122 to 130.. 135 may be stretching it a bit.. Juan Diaz might be too big..

 

i'd say Vasquez or Marquez, but i dont know how much they got left these days, and even at there peak, i still wouldn't bet the house on it

Caballero's a huge guy, with a huge punch, but his technique is horrible

but for certain, i'd say Guzman could outpoint him, and i'd also favor JMM, Chris John, and Juan Diaz over him

but i think he'd sweep through 122 and 126 (outside of Chris John) and even alot of 130 (Linares would be a tough 1 though) as well

 

If you look at him currently, he is blowing away everything put in his way.

But.....

Has he faced a fighter that ticks ALL these boxes?

Good chin
Good power
Big at the weight
Solid technique

I don't believe he has. Ponce de Leon was embarrassed on the undercard of Hatton vs Mayweather but got a lopsided UD in his favour.... don't even start with Medina... whilst Penalosa is naturally smaller and past his best.

Ask me in a year's time!

 

i have to agree...juan diaz...he can beat humberto soto

 

Vazquez and Marquez should still be the favorites.
But lets see if they can come back any good after those beatings they imposed on each other

 

probably JML, but i dont think that's the issue, John is durable, he tooks Marquez's best counter shots all night without hitting the canvas (although i think the ref saved him once), but more then that he fights tall and he's a moving target, i just dont think Lopez would be able to catch him, or keep him caught enough for him to outpoint him, much less stop him, you have to take in consideration that Juanma is less experienced, and has yet to fight a worldclass slick fighter, much less a P4P world class slick fighter like John,...i'm not saying it would be ez, but i'd favor John if these 2 were set to clash this year

 

vazquez&marquez

possibly caballero

 

vasquez and marquez would be good fights

chris john also would be tough for him

 

Vazques, Marquez and Jonny Gonzales, nobody else at super bantam.
Soto, Robert Guerrero, Chris John have great chances.
Caballero would get murdered, his frame is so small he would go flying from one punch
