    I think Marquez has to stop Lopez to beat him.

    At first I didn't fully come to that conclusion before I saw the weigh in. But given that Lopez is gonna have the crowd on his side as far as Ricans go I think there is a chance we might see a robbery even if Marquez dominates him and it goes the distance.

    Now the fight between Margarito and Cotto I think the judges knew that they had to be fair with the scorecards because of the Mexican crowd that outnumbered Cotto's fans. But that's not the case here. And who is the young cash cow in this fight. It's not Rafael Marquez. Therefore, I don't think Rafa can win a decision in this fight.

    And what do you consider a robbery? Some Mexicans think Pacquiao/Marquez was a robbery when it was just a close fight. If its a real robbery, you'll hear almost every single person complain that isn't Rican.

      Didn't the Lopez fans outnumber Marquez's fans at the weigh in? I thought I heard Rafa get booed. That sucks because Marquez to me is the fan favorite in this fight because he's obviously more easy to like than Lopez is because when he was in his prime like Lopez is he fought top comp and still is like is being shown tonight.

      I'm curious to see what kind of crowd this fight would've drawn had it been in Los Angeles. You saw Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson, and other celebrities at the 3rd and 4th fights and it did draw good numbers when it was held in Cali from what I could tell.

        I don't know, I just think both are as easy to like.

          I don't like Lopez because he avoids the best. And a big majority of other people feel the same way.

            He's #2 at his weight only behind Chris John.

            He and Gamboa are the best

              Lopez had his bodyguard fight Caballero instead, Caballero should have KO'd that puto bodyguard.

                I don't know about all that.

                Yes he should fight Caballero but that is it. He avoided one guy.

                You making it sound like if it is multiple.

                  Lopez is #2 because it was a dead division until Gamboa, Cab, and Lopez migrated to it and Luevano is a bum.

                    And, I think a case can be made due to John recent resume compared to Juanma recent resume that Juanma should be rank #1 at 126.
