    After this weekends fights? Where do the fighters go from here?

    With lots of fights this weekend where do you think the fighters should go?

    Tomaz Adamek: With a loyal following and another ko win he's got big fights coming. Word is that B Hop wants to fight him and Cunningham wants a rematch. I think Cunningham put a good fight but lost cleanly and should win one more fight in order to get a rematch and Adamek should cash in against B Hop although I think he'd get outboxed cleanly

    Jonathan Banks: He has championship material but he needs to work on conditioning and better inside fighting

    Chris John: Talk about luck. He's panned for never fighting on US Soil, takes the lowest check for a defense and gets a draw when I thot he should have won. People assume that just cuz one boxes they are boring but John really impressed me as well as Juarez. I think he's pull a Felix Sturm and never come back to the US again

    Rocky Juarez: Man this guy has nine lives, although he deserved to lose, he fought well. 126 or 130 is a good fit for him although he needs to fight a fringe champ and work up to another A level champ again

    Juan Diaz: He really impressed tonight and showed he's still got it in my opinion. Many sites had him closely or cleanly ahead until he got caught. Hey it happens, he needs to deal with cuts better and I think he will be champ again after beating the Golden Boy LW tourny winner.

    JMM: Man what a comeback. People are high on him but after wat i read from his performance his time may be ticking. According to the RbR's on espn.com he was tired and had problems dealing with Diaz's pressure. His accurate punching saves him again and the ninth round is his sweet rounds again but unless he's fighting the Golden Boy LW tourny winner, he needs to work on not getting hit. I think Floyd would beat him soundly and Pac will keep getting a knockdown to seal the victories if he keeps getting hit as often as he does. Great victory tho and really established him as a HOFer

    Post your thot on where these fighters should go and what to improve on

    Chris John should fight in California and Nevada, not in Texas.

    Rocky should just fight in Texas for the rest of his career.

    JMM might go up in 140 cuz Pac is there.

    Diaz, just keep on fighting.

        Adamek can't fight Cunningham until he wins a fight, unless it's not for the title, because the IBF now has a rule that a boxer must be coming off a win to fight for their titles (good rule in most situations). I'd like to see Cunningham vs. Huck II, and then the winner take on Adamek.

        In the meantime Adamek can fight Hopkins, do another voluntary defense, or fight a unification with Jones.

          I'd love to see Adamek Unify and go after guys like Maccarenilli who some think would destroy Tomaz

            I thought Marquez looked great. Although Diaz was pressuring him on the ropes he was not really doing any damage IMO. Marquez was landing harder and cleaner. Compubox was like dead even. Look at the fighters' faces after the fight. No shame in that loss for Diaz either. I can see him avenging after 2-3 more fights. By then Marquez may be slowing down enough for him win.

              I agree with wat you sed but eventually Marquez is gonna fight someone with power and cant be on the ropes like that

                I want Adamek-Cunningham 2.

                Banks needs to get a win over anotha top CW contender to stay relevant in the division.

                John and Juarez should rematch I guess. I missed the fight so I dunno if it was actually a draw or John got ****ed.

                JMM should challenge the Pac-Hatton winner.

                Diaz should go after anotha title at 135 or 140.
