Juan Manuel Lopez being fed another sacrificial lamb

[Mr.Fantastic]

jccjr fought 40 something nobodies in mexico and sells out the arena there. but forget nobodies cuz i dont want to see jml fight nobodies. but theres no rush the big fights will come but he has yet to headline at msg. cotto fought abdulaev at msg first if im not mistaken. you need to keep fighting to get exposure so if its caba now or a bum it dont matter cuz its his first headline fight at msg. as for belts, they dont mean **** cuz if he takes caba's belts he wont defend them, he will drop them and move up to featherweight. if belts meant anything people including me would give cotto credit for winning the wbo strap vs jennings lol!

Because of his dad's name. You know damn well the dude wouldn't be getting **** if it wasn't for his dad.

No RUSH? Beltss don't mean ****?? Dude you're a ******! The dude is a WORLD CHAMPION....how the fuck is that a no rush?? Hell at least Andre Berto is fighting someone compared to JML.

The last part of your post makes no sense because Caballero has two straps. One of them he won off a paper champ in Molitor though. I'll admit that. Molitor got the IBF without fighting Vasquez, but that's not the point. The WBO belt that Cotto won was against a horrible opponent. I don't view Caballero as anything special, but Lopez needs to fight him if he wants to solidify his resume at 122.

I think that Gamboa might actually be a more dangerous fight than Caballero, but he is not as good to have on your resume. And even if I'm not dying to see a Caballero-Lopez fight, that doesn't mean that Lopez has to keep fighting bums. I'm starting to think if he actually does get in there with Vasquez or Marquez, they may clean his clock because the way Arum is babying Lopez is not gonna pay off in the long run. Caballero is overrated, but Lopez still needs to fight him. The opposition that Lopez is fighting is making him look overrated. What is he scared of? Cordoba has a KO win over Caballero, and Cordoba isn't an elite fighter. Lopez needs to answer the call and unify the straps.

Thats not a good excuse mate, There is nothing like been called the WBO/WBA/IBF superbantam weight champion and a chance to stake is claim for a fight with either Vasquez or raphael marquez.....How is juanma fighting no-names with nothing to offer going to help his exposure has oppose to an unknown fighter who has two belts???

the only people that care about alphabet belts are the 100 or so members of boxingscene.com and a couple other boxing forums. im not saying that bums will help jml get exposure im sayin the more he headlines fights at msg, the more he will get exposure. only hardcore boxing fans(which there are not that many of) care about the bantamweight division and lighter. i was sitting in msg watching cotto vs clottey and when ivan calderon came out to fight 2 p.r. guys sitin behind me were talking about who the hell is ivan calderon. thats the reality of the lack knowledge the average boxing fans have which is sad.

the only point im trying to make is that just because a couple hundred hardcore fans care about belts dont mean they mean something. caba has belts but still is unknown to the general public. belts get vacated and stripped all the time for ****** reasons.

The opponent that Lopez is getting ready to fight has a bunch of losses and it makes your argument lame. I am not really a fan of Cotto because I think he is not as good as the Ricans make him out to be. But at least he was matched up tougher than what Lopez is being matched. And the sad thing is, I actually view Lopez as the better fighter with a lot more talent.
