If a PRIME Rafael Marquez was fighting Juan Manuel Lopez

[Toney Loc]

Prime Rafa is a bantamweight. JuanMa can possibly still grow into a LW.

That's what these dumbass ricans can't understand is that Rafa has been through wars and is already old PLUS not even at his comfortable weight.

The discrediting of RM is crazy!
I don't believe how people are just writing RM off.
I guess Juan Ma is hated more than I thought because I don't believe that many people really believe RM is over the hill or done.

Just being realistic. In a division above his usual, after three wars with Israel Vazquez, against a young, improving, and more athletic lion, he does have a chance because of the caliber of fighter he is but JML should be the obvious favorite and should win.

Well said and I see nothing wrong with that.
One thing this is boxing and I can see you understand that by, "he does have a chance because of the caliber of fighter he is but JML should be the obvious favorite and should win". This is boxing and anything can happen.
A Juan Ma win is not for certain. Its not that much of a mismatch.

I still think this version of Rafa will upset Juanma. It is joke to even consider that a prime Rafa would lose lopez.

You know what? Your dumbness is starting to over flow.
One thing for sure is RM would not want a "fan" like you around him or rooting for him. You suck.
You have no faith or respect for a great fighter. I don't care that Juan Ma is Puerto Rican or RM is Mexican (though I like the rivalry) RM is a proven great fighter and Juan Ma is good and needs to prove his greatness.

A win over a great fighter gives him some respect and a loss will mean he lost to a great fighter- PERIOD.

RM has lost twice in 10 years (to a Legend in Izzy) and even Izzy needed to take him 12 rounds to do it. RM beat IZZY twice in 7 and HIS LAST FIGHT IN 3. How that adds up to "hes done" is beyond me.
Mileage on a car dont make it junk, its condition tells you that.

Who cares stop crying , Lopez had been wanting to fight them for years , they are fighting now. If marquez wants to fight is becuase he thinkg he can beat Lopez and because he wants to fight , stop crying.

That dumbass is making that painfully obvious.
All this crap he is talking in here and the night of the fight he will scream at the TV every time RM lands one on Juan MA.
He really wants RM to win and will be rooting for him all the way but he put the Excuse in the bank, just so he can say, "I told you he was washed up, lucky he didnt fight him in his prime"...lol

[ny123]

it would all depend on how well rafa could take juanmas power. i could see rafa winning late in a war or juanma knocking him out. great fight if both were in their primes but even now its still going to be a good one.

[Pin Galarga]

We are going to watch Juanma fight Marquez in his peak. This is Marquez bigger and stonger than he ever had been. Falling is part of the game, getting up like he has makes greats .
