    I think the only time I saw Cruz look good was against Tank. I think I'd pick Zepeda to win.

      GGG was probably the closest to Chavez style which was slow but methodical.

      Zepeda's style is more similar to Chocolatito, very fast and active. Non-stop action, fun to watch but Zepeda can be countered by a smart boxer.

        Zepeda gives Cruz the business. Frank Martin and El Rayo are prospects that are going to be tough for any 135lber as well. Don't see Cruz doing anything more than giving Tank a run for his money,think that will be his 15min of fame personally.

          Do you think Davis takes care of Zepeda with no issues too?

            This is a fight I wanna see eventually. Let Zepeda validate himself a little more.
            I don't care who he fights next. I'd be happy if it's Ryan or JoJo. Most probably not.

            GBP might decide to move Zepeda a little more slowly than we want.
            I can understand that, too, but I think he's ready for anyone in the top 5.

            Count me in as a huge Zepeda fan.

              No I don't. That workate,which gives me Castano vibes,will give any lightweight issues but I would still have to favor Tank as of now. Eventhough I think Tanks comp level has been a level or two from top tier,that experience counts for something and would prove to be too much for Zepeda now. A year or two and it could be a different story.

                I agree with ya man. Work rate is what wins his fights, it is his defense! But he does need a little more time.
