    His fights are always pretty fun to watch cuz he throws over a 100 punches a round. But his last fight with maliwackjob he was only throwing 40.

    I dont really think he's done, its just that he was matched up badly in his last fight, slick boxers are all wrong for his style. He needs to fight brawlers, Diaz is fun to watch, The Baby Bull always brings exciting fights.

      no, he's just a prime example of hard work and determination only getting an athlete so far. he's just not a very talented fighter.

      is that kid still in school? i swear, he's been in school for like a decade. a couple more fights and he should think about moving on. hes not exactly gatekeeper status yet, but he's not a top contender.

            I think Juan isn't damaged goods, i think he was just hyped too much early in his career, his wins over big named opponents occured in texas....

            Juan is a good fighter, just not elite... i think built up too much without the proper skillset..

            And he should probably go back down in weight...

              fighters with his style don't really last that long....

              I think it was during his fight with Suico, when the HBO announcers were even comparing Baby Bull to Tyson and Frazier and basically saying that by the time he's in his late 20's his career will be winding down

                Hes one big fight from being back in the title picture.

                At 135 he still has fast hands and high workrate.

                His crowd pleasing style will keep him on TV.

                    He's not damaged goods, he's just been matched up poorly. The fights with Malignaggi should've never happened. 135 is where he belongs.

                    He needs to get back on track. He should fight Barrios, Guzman(cant believe HBO wants a rematch with Funeka), Escobedo, or take more time off and fight the Diaz-Soto loser.
