Juama: The Next Puerto Rican Icon-Yes or No?

[AnimalisticMeth]

i remember him before the deleon fight, and juanma has excellent boxing skills.

post deleon fight, he fell inlove with his power.

if he would just go back to the basics, box more, be more patient and the knock outs will come naturally.

i think juanma still has it in him to be the next PR star, the question is will he choose the right path?

Even if he went back to basics that chin is easy to crack that even Mike Oliver hurt him in his last fight and Oliver has a KO % of 27. I still have hopes for juanma but I am not sure anymore if he has it in him offcourse all can change with one fight but he needs to hire a veteran trainer like a Freddie Roach if he really wants to go back to being a big time force in Boxing.

No.

Not unless he gets back to boxing instead of swinging bombs as soon as the bell starts.

He also has to work very hard on his defence, footwork,etc.

For a while there, you could understand why. But Lopez began to believe his own hype and fell in love with his power, to the detriment of his defense. Now it appears that JuanMa might be too far gone to reverse course.

Its a combination of things if you ask me.In and out of the ring,the popularity.Its almost like juanma had primed against de leon and hasn't looked quite the same.

Also, something's gotten in his head. Lopez doesn't smile anymore. He used to sport that big ol' grin. It could be that he just wants to be more "businesslike", but I get the feeling that it's something else. I think JuanMa feels somewhat disillusioned by his fans, like he's been abandoned after his first loss.

[KickAzz]

he can be in entertaining brawls, but he won't be great like tito

Juama sucks donkeyballs how anybody thought this guy was going to be a superstar is a grade A moron. first sign that rise a red flag, he went life and death with the killer Mtagwa and 2nd sign his defence sucks a$$. Dont get me wrong with the rights fights he can be a fake super star Bob Arum is good at this. he will not beat Salido unlike his past opponents Salido has the skills to take it Juama with power

[New England]

no


i think he's on the downside

he doesnt have the style for bigger men

and can only make 126 for another fight or two at the most


he's also a smaller guy getting old with a style that has seen him take a lot of punches

[Tha_Greatest]

maybe the move up in division was too much for his bittch azz, lol, nyahahahaha

[ELHURACAN58]

He already lost to a mexican, so even if he beats Gamboa, Bradley and Pacquiao, he wont be looked as an icon no more.
