    Ya Lopez gotta be #3 I'd put it Sanchez #1 and jcc #2 . Sanchez had finesse but jcc was a str8 up warrior.

      I’m sorry you don’t have the ring IQ to see that.
      Barrera and Morales destroyed each other in that trilogy and out of it. Their styles took a lot out of them.

      Meanwhile Marquez was sitting around, racking up boring decisions and not taxing his body at all. When Marquez met Barrera, that wasn’t Marco at his best by a long shot. And still Barrera hurt him with a right hand. A fresher version of him would have finished Juan off because Barrera isn’t a one armed fighter like Pac is.

        If that’s your opinion alright but you have no facts to actually back it up. Don’t bother telling me what a boxing expert you are, I flat out don’t believe you.

          I never claimed to be presenting facts. It’s opinion based but I’m after that money with the betting so I’m a realist. I’ve made of habit of being 100% real with myself.

          You haven’t met me and that’s fine. Nice to meet you. I’m the guy who picked Rosado over J-Rock and Helenius over Kownacki in the 4th. Earlier in that day I picked Carroll to stop Quigg in rounds 11-12. Picked Fury by stoppage in 7-8 of the second Wilder fight.

          I’m a walking, talking money making machine. I call
          em as I see them. If you wait on nothing but the facts then those paydays are gonna pass you by.

              Because his resume is weak.

                Nice you picked a good group of Mexican boxers

                I empathize Mexican because I’m a Chicano and in Mexicoim a gringo

                my Spanish has a slight accent that Mexican cops say irritates them


                nice thread

                  Incorrect. And you appear to be a less than effective communicator of points.

                      That crossed my mind but it is close. He never faced a Trinidad or anyone you’d find on an all time great punchers list. He could take shots from people with decent power but he was never truly tested. Good mention though and he belongs in the discussion.
