    When people talk about best of this era people never seem to bring up Vazquez though, to me he is really one of the best though.
    first there nothing wrong in the 122pd juanma lopez is there and we will see if Vazquez wants to fight juanma lopez he is a young superstar and soon to be in the pd for pd list also cabllero is also there and has two of the belts so the divison is not bad at all is weather vazquez wants to fight either one.

          JuanMa is pretty sweet, I have a hard time seeing a smaller man really beat him. Like I said in the post before I am conflicted about that fight.

          I was mainly talking mainstream if you only weight 122 pound you are not going to get much love. 122 has some pretty good fighters in it though, and is actually probably very good if Marquez and Vasquez are fighting there (not each other, although maybe once more if they go through everyone else).

              I got nothing but love for Vazquez.

              The man has show me some heart an guts.

              i have seen a total of 5 live fights and 10 on videos.

              But i just wish he retires. I don't want to see him against lopez, he would get seriously hurt.

                He is a awesome Fighter, one of My favorites, he is all heart. he is very talented, But his resume is nothing to brag about, beside, marquez trilogy and Larios, theres nothing more. he beated a good crup of contenders tho.

                he is not underrated, people just dont talk about him that much!!!!!!!!!!!1

                  I still think that Vazquez does not get the level of respect that he deserves.

                    Wladimir Klishtko is the most underrated fighter of this era. I can stand the guy, I pray that he loses every time I see him fight, but the guy is flat out dominant. He's boring... no doubt. But he gets **** on for nothing more than obliterating anyone he steps into the ring with.

                      Yeah, he is underrated. Too bad its a little too late for him to become someone really famous.
