What are your thoughts on him, was he a good champion? I have only seen one of his fights against Barrios and it was an absolute war, I highly recommend you watch it.

had that annoying band when he fought....like a poor-man's ricky hatton band
popo was a good athlete and had great footwork, good power but his heart or lack thereof was shown in the Chico fight

Quick, powerful and awkward at his best which made for a very hard combination to fight against, had pretty good movement too. But didn't have the best heart when he got hurt where he basically quit against Corrales and stopped in his corner against Diaz, showed good heart against Barrios though, maybe the Barrios fight convinced him not to take any more punishment or something.

he was winning against diego when they fought.. i tought he have some stamina issue during that fight.. and if he has the erik morales guts, he would still be a champion up to now.. he crumbled under pressure, being a superstar on his hometown is his fall in my opinion.. coz win or lose, he was welcomed there and regarded as the best ever..

he was much better when he was an offensive minded destroyer.
RIP and everything, but suarez was a shtty trainer.

i thought it was a quirky style and showed some soccer influence with his balance...however, when you dont have the stamina, that footwork fades as the rounds go on...he was skilled but had many flaws
