Lopez vs Marquez

[Dick Buffman]

agreed...Rafa has to stay poised and limit the number of exchanges...he's gotta pick his spots

Mak, in your honest opinion, (which I respect more than 95% of the "professional writers" that cover boxing) if Raffy were to beat Lopez at this stage in his career, where do you rank him AT in the lower weights, and do you think he surpasses JMM.

I say surpasses with a grain of salt because imo, I've always pretty much had them neck and neck.

Actually, this isn't a bad idea for a thread of its own.

oooOOOohh...that's a tough one Jack...JMM is pretty accomplished with a who's who resume....while Rafa's isn't chopped liver either adding Juanma's name would give him a major boost


enough to push him past his bro? personally, i would give him the nod...just slightly

If Marquez Can pick his spots and his power is still there we might have a FOTY candidate.

If Marquez Power doesnt trouble Juanma, then he gets steamrolled and badly


My Prediction Juanma KO5. Neither Marquez knows how to stay out of exchanges!

I want Rafa to win but your right its tuff for Marquez to stay away from exchanges.

People forget what a killer Tim Austin was and how damn good Too Sharp was when Rafa stopped them.

Those were damn good wins.
