      I included him in the 8. I'm fine with him replacing one of the others. There's just soo much talent there it's tough to not leave someone out.

        I would favor Rocky over Lopez P4P.

            Regardless, he's had his chances, and he's not exciting. Time for him to step aside and give the younger guys a shot.

              Can't blame him for losing a close one to barerra, and getting dominated by Marquez, but any of todays feathers would, regardless he has had a lot of shots and failed every time.

                And they certainly have the depth in the division.

                If you're gonna do six:

                John
                Gamboa
                Lopez
                Luevano
                Rojas
                Caballero

                If you wanted to do 8 you can add Santiago and Cruz(I really dont wanna see Juarez anymore)

                I deliberetley didn't include Marquez and Vazquez cause they are Showtime fighters.

                HBO can do that, and they can do it at a reasonable price, I don't see why that would be so unfeasible.
                You are right. But HBO is not going to do anything like what Showtime has done. The closest they have come is the Middleweight tournament in 2001 that featured Trinidad, Hopkins, Joppy and Holmes. HBO only showcases a small number of fighters and then only when they reach superstar status or are on the verge of it. That is why Showtime is an overall better boxing network.

                    Yea, I totally agree. I just feel like I know what Juarez can do, and I'd like to see the young guys mix it up.

                    If Juarez was included I wouldn't be furious, but I would just prefer the other guys.
