juanma deserves his hype,
he's the real thing, not a hype job,

he's gonna be great

This kid looks like he could be the real deal. He certainly has the tools to be a star. But how about we wait on crowning him the next Felix Trinidad until after he beats a champion or two? He has an impressive win over Daniel Ponce De Leon. That win showed me he made it to the next level as far as no longer being a prospect.

But as far as being next in line as the pay per view star or p4p future number 1 fighter, that stuff needs to be put on old. People are basing Lopez as being the real deal after stopping a fringe Cesar Figueroa, beating Sergio Martinez who took a dive, and Grandpa Penalosa who is 35 years old. His last win against Oliver Lontchi he also looked great but once again against inferior competition. Lontchi is a C level fighter at best who built his record fighting in Canada.

Typical Real Madrid fan...

I disagree. Juanma seems every bit the real deal.

People are only calling him the next Trinidad because he is a very popular puerto rican fighter, with a very outgoing and exciting personality like trinidad.

There are no skill comparisons because they are completely different fighters. Personally i feel that Lopez could potentially be a far more well rounded fighter then Trinidad was. Trinidad could be outboxed, we dont know if Lopez can be outboxed. And Trinidad wasnt the same fighter going backwards. Lopez has shown he can fight goin both ways.

He is a very impressive young man

co-sign green coming ur way

JML looks promising that is all.

You should understand that in PR, boxing is the main sport, and he's getting the attention here and some call him the next Trinidad but just in the sense that he's humble and very accessible and he'll be very successful.

Like TredKiller said, he's not a hype job.

[The Surgeon]

Im putting ALOT of faith on this kid, he hasnt had the chance to prove me right but im confident he will. This is a guy who is gonna do great things, he's headed for the Hall of Fame mark my words

I dont tend to hype fighters, i never bought into that Ortiz **** or many of the hyped fighters but with Lopez i feel we have a special fighter emerging

Am i the only one who was not blind? Jesus Mtagwa should have been stopped or beaten by easy decision by a guy who is suppose to be on the brink of p4p top 10. I told you guys his competition made him look better than he really is. Hope you all were put back into reality.

I fell for the hype, last night showed me that Lopez's defense is questionable while Gamboa hugely impressed me. Like many of you in the past I thought Lopez would outbox Gamboa and win a decision. After that performance last night I think theres a good chance Gamboa either wins by outboxing Lopez or knocking him out.

[Chr0nic]

he gonna get owned by gamboa
