Is Juan Manuel Lopez the next Wilfredo Gomez?

[machotime]

Juan Manuel Lopez exhibits power that I have not seen in a long time. Yes it is early in his career but the kid has so much raw talent, a good chin, and incredible power. Many of you may not care about the 122 division, but this kid is definately the future of 122 and 126.

He's hungry and that right hook is just nasty. But as you said its too soon to know, lets not forget he had a tough fight against Edel "Cuate" Ruiz? He keeps improving with every fight, we'll see when he fights another live tough fighter.

Last time i seen juanma fight,he didnt look like he had that much power I was starting to think he was kind of a light hitter,so Im not sold yet,but we'll see.


also hes alot older than I thought,I didnt know he was 23.

I care about any fighter with skill, no matter what the division is. And I've only seen hilights from last night, but I notice that he has a beautiful right hook... sorta like mine.

The kid has a lot of talent and a lot of physical strengths. I have seen him in 2 or 3 fights now...the performance against that other prospect Cuahtemoc Vargas sticks out the most. His timing seems to be VERY good for such a young fighter. Good power in both hands too.

I've only seen him once lose his temper, I think it was in a Cotto undercard fight. But he's a young fighter, I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his temper again.

Yeah he does have a temper LOL. I think that Lopez has alot of skill and lots of power. HIs prospective is really good and very exciting to watch.

Yeh yesterday when HBO where showing the replay of his fight,Lopez was shouting at his opponent during the staredown,lol hes gota temper

[Papa Ace]

he's one helluva prospect and it think his frame can take him to 3 weight divisions up. he has to keep that temper in check though.
