Juarez overrated

[tracylee]

Tarver's style gave problems to Roy when Roy was 34/35. This Roy has dramatacially less footwork than the young Roy, and that's the main difference.

I have my own polls on ********** (they HATE Roy for the most part) and 80% thought Roy won the 1st fight.

Plenty of people thought Roy was slowing down, even since the Woods fight...but they also thought that he was able to get away with it at that point.

2.5 years later, after losing muscle to come back to lightheavy, he wasn't able to get away with it. Roy is only human after all, but fighting him at 35 and fighting him at 25 are two totally different things.

Problems or not, prime vs prime, I doubt 20% of anyone on this site would pick Tarver to win.

I'll never forget my first post here and all the negative feedback it got! I said that Jones's name won him that fight, a fight that deserved a draw at best. I'm just one of these that dont see him (or never did) as 'super human' and/or the best thing that ever happened to the sport. He fought alot of deadbeats and was never really tested (his chin) so we'll never know how well he would hold up under good, solid, flush punches. I can admit that he was a great fighter..just not the best I ever saw.

rocky juarez is over rated IMO. he still hasn't taken on any top 15 gyz. all these gyz are like 33-7, he needs to take on sum good gyz. against raheem, he KD in the 2nd, but the 3 point deudctions were dum, and most thought that the scorecards were pretty in accurate as it is. A rematch of that would be nice. or for juraez to take on a contendor.

Yea, i though raheem won the fight. But Juarez is constantly getting impressive, especially last night.

even though this thread is old i hate juarez lol

Hate Him!!!!!!

Hate Him!!!!!!

Why on earth do you hate him? He's a real decent, stand up type of guy...has real class, and the sport is in a severe shortage of those types of personalities. The more "good guys" the sport can get the better!

Hate Him!!!!!!

What reason would there be to hate a guy like Juarez? I mean the guy doesn't talk **** about his opponents and comes across as a nice person so why would you hate him? If it's the fight against Raheem then that's really not his fault. The blame should go on the ref and Raheem himself for making the same mistake over and over.

Rocky Juarez ain't overrated.

You know, given his youth & relative lack of experience, I'll give him a pass on the Raheem fight. The ref ****ed that fight ALL up, and Raheem's dirt wasn't helping either. Don't stigmatize the kid because he fought a competent fighter who knew ow to take him off his game. Give 'em a rematch, with a different venue & referee, and Juarez wins.

Juarez is an impressive prospect, but I don't think he has the experience to beat a tough customer like Chi. He didn't even beat Z. Raheem. If he can pull off an upset and beat Chi, he has to give Raheem a rematch

man i didn't mean like as a person, i meant as a boxer from a fan's perspective.
eg. i hate barrera the boxer, doesn't mean i wish he dies or anything
im jus sayin he hasn't fought legit contendors, and hes not going to last. give him chi or sumin and he'll lose
guaranteed

"hate barrera the boxer"

You are my new best friend & confidant.

Seriously, though, give Juarez a little break. No one had a perfect upcoming. NO, I don't think he can beat Injin Chi right now, but truthfully, I don't think he'll beat him two years from now either. Chi's too rough & hard for him. It's not about experience, just styles. Chi is too much for anyone at 126 not named Pacquiao or Marquez.

I think Chi is the perfect opponent for Juarez and I think he will beat Chi. Even if he beats Chi I have a feeling everybody saying he will lose will say that Chi was made for Juarez which I think he is.
