    What attribute is Rocky Juarez missing??

    To me he is a complete fighter. He is tough and never been stopped. The only thing I can think of is that he lets his hands go when it's too late.

    What are your opinions? Bull**** aside.

    I like Rocky, dude can ****. He's just missing that IT factor, he always falls short for some reason. Chris John wins the rematch with a unanimous decision.

      he don't put pressure on his guys until the last 3 rounds when it's too damn late. if he fought every round the way he fights his last 3 this guy would be one exciting, yet unstoppable figher. props to him for fighting the best and though fallen short never been stopped, not even when in serious trouble(cuts)

        it's a mental thing for sure. he lacks that kill or be killed, win at any costs attitude. it's exciting to watch him in the 2nd half of fights when he realizes he's behind and just goes for broke, but you have to wonder where he'd be right now if had at that attitude for full 12 rounds, every time out.

          Activity, and fire. He has an effective offense. Juarez is never EVER gassed because hes so methodical.

            Yeah thats pretty much it. There is no fire in his belly.

            He does not go through the gears when its time to step it up, as you say he is methodical.

            Also one of the problems i see is ...........he refuses to cut lose and throw a punch if it has 1% chance of missing the target, i think thats one of the reasons his punch output is so low in fights, he will not get out of his envelope and let it hang out he wants to stay in the confines of his technique.

              rocky is a good fighter but it's weird how training in the same gym as Juan Diaz hasn't rubbed up on him to unleash punches the way Juan does if rockydid it at least in certain times in a fight he would knock everybody out, he has K.O power unlike Diaz.

                He is too damn small.


                Even for featherweight.

                  that isnt it at all, its his actvity rate, his size doesnt hinder him as much as he doesnt throw unless he knows hes going to land, its been that story since 2000.
