    Juanma Lopez: "If prime Mike Tyson was able to find fighters...

    willing to fight him, Juanma Lopez shouldn't be able to have trouble finding a fighter that is willing to step into the ring with him."

    That's what he said after the fight since many of the top ranked fighters declined to step into the ring with him for this past bout because of fear after his PDL performance.

    He looks great though.

    It's not like he blew PDL away, he systematically picked him apart, took his sweet time doing it, and it still only took a round.

    lol. You wouldn't chuck a prospect at him.

      It's a lot easier when you're Mike Tyson, one of the most famous men on the planet and a guaranteed nice payday for any opponent, then it is when you're Juan Manuel Lopez.

        That's a good point. That is two fights in a row that he has gone in, shown really good defense and picked his spot, and gotten two first round KOs.

        That is incredible that less than 10 punches have landed on him in his last two fights, which were a world title fight and a defense of that title.

        Good news for Lopez is that Caballero and Molitor are taking a big risk to unify, even though the money for this fight won't be tremendously huge, which means they may be willing to try to unify with Lopez in the future.

        Molitor in particular gives me the feeling that he would be willing to try to unify with Lopez if he won. Don't ask me why... I don't know.

        I'm not sure if Vazquez and Marquez will... there are getting older, just went through hell three straight times, have a decent amount of money, and probably don't want to get knocked off the top pedistal by a young gun who doesn't bring a lot of cash to the table. Say what you want about who wins this one between any of them, but... one thing is for sure. Lopez would not be an easy win for either of them.

          I don't think those top ranked fighters are afraid of him, more likely they didn't want to go fight in PR for the risk involved. I'm pretty sure Arum and JML won't go to LA to fight Vasquez or Marquez now would he?
