Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez Talks are Underway

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has been informed that talks are once again underway for Rocky Juarez (28-4, 20KOs) to challenge WBA featherweight champion Chris John (41-0, 22KOs). [details]

Does John still have a title? I thought he was stripped a while back.

Can Juarez make 126? John has to be just about the only fighter who can be 41-0 and still not be on the P4P list

My ass they are. Last time they did John pulled out. I appulad John for taking two tough fights in a row if they do. That's surprising. Very.

Can Juarez make 126?

I know right? That's what I was thinking. Rocky Juarez should really even consider moving up to 135. He weighed 146 last night. That's just way too big for someone fighting at 126, 130.

I wonder if the fight will be in Indonesia or he will actually come to the states and fight. I think Rocky can be more dangerous at 126.

Juanma should fight Chris John.

John has a tough fight ahead of him so let's see how that plays out.
If John wins and actually fights Juarez, I think John wins by UD.
If you think Juarez took forever to get off against revampled brawler Barrios,
he would take even longer to get off against John, because John is quick and elusive and if Rocky waits on him, he will lose rounds steadily but surely.

I am in the camp that this fight probably won't happen.

Yeah that's definitely Rocky's problem. He just doesn't seem to let go with his hands. Way too many lulls that don't help him with the judges.

i dont think Juarez can beat john but if Rocky fights over the pond he will lose a decision ..... Marquez beat john already but was robbed by hometown judges so hopefully ROcky doesnt make the same mistake and fight in his country
