Rocky Juarez

[Mr. Ryan]

Coming out of the Olympics, I liked him. Any Olympian who fights in his style is welcome by me. He's a short, plodding, left hook artist with very good power. Similar to Joe Frazier. But he's been exposed for his short comings in the ring, and looked very vulnerable against Zahir Raheem. What is his future at 126? 130? Can he become a pound for pounder? What is his ideal matchup?

i take it you didnt see his fight b4 raheem
he fought a journey men
and got dropped in the second round
to make matters worse he looked seriously hurt
and even WORSE
the guy was by far, not a power puncher

i think rocky cant take as well as he can take
and unfortuantly for him being a featehrweight
all the tops guys can take as well as give
and give far better then he can

The guy was a southpaw, and he hadn't fought a southpaw before.

[Mr. Ryan]

I just like the idea of an Olympic medalist who fights like David Tua. Everyone has flaws. He's a good fighter, maybe not an elite one.

His still unbeaten even with does close calls, and Rocky is top 10 FW at present time, am I right or wrong???

True, but Jesse Furguson and Marvis Frazier were Top 10 Heavyweights at one time.

He is mostly No. 1, Contender amoung the alphabet belts who do you think will give him his first shot...

He won't take a title fight for atleast a year, unless he really blows out Espada. Then he will petition for a title shot against the Pacquiao-Marquez winner. He won't get the title shot, will be given a shot at a vacant title, beat Scott Harrison, and have an alphabelt. Thats if he looks great against Espadas, which doesn't look to be an easy fight given Espadas' experience.

So his future hang in the balance with the Espadas fight and if he can look good or KO the guy then that will be something for him...

For real. I feel Espadas' beat Morales the first time.
