What are your thoughts on Fernando Montiel?

[-TEXANBALLER-]

He is my favorite boxer. He is 37-2-1

He went over to the Philippines to beat Z Gorres and bring the belt back to Mexico. He demolished Martin Castillo who was another great champion

I think he would make a great fight with Mijares, Donaire, or Arce, but he isn't fighting those guys. He needs to take the next step up, he beat Castillo so easily but Castillo had been on the decline for a while. I need to see him with one of those other guys to know exactly how good he is. He's most likely better than Arce though and would probably stop him IMO.

He looks like Kris Kattan of SNL.

i can't stand that prick

Montiel is a prick?

Cucholito has skills.

Wears those little shorts but he's the real deal. I seee him schooling Arce all day. He and Mijares/Darchinyan winner has to be made.

I watched Montiel fight Jose Carita Lopez many years ago and after the fight I swore I would never root for FM...ever.

Lopez was jobbed in that fight knocking Montiel down at least 4 times with clean body punching only to have Montiel complain everytime that he was hit low...everytime he bitched when he was hit to the body.

(I was literally screaming at Mark Ratner throughout the fight)

Further on in his career he fought like a ***** against Mark Johnson but...but since that fight with Too Sharp he began to mix it up with his opponenets and I have actually enjoyed watching the little craftsman fight.

Im still not to the point where I root for him but Fernando Monitel has come a long way!

good fighter but i still can't believe he lost to 2 sharp johnson.

He's ok. He's a really good fighter, but doesn't really click with me that much. His biggest weakness is his inability to defend shots that come down right down the middle.
