What do you think of Sammy Vasquez? And what should be next for him?

Can't claim to be an expert, but considering Martinez's last two fights, the ease which Vasquez beat him was impressive. He looked at least two classes above a guy who beat Danny Garcia's opponent that night.Comment

Honestly man, after seeing Vasquez dispatch Martinez, I thought for sure Garcia was going to KO Guerrero if Martinez dropped him and went 10 with him but I was wrong and made me realize Vasquez could be special...Comment

Problem with getting a title shot is the current Welterweight champs are Bradley, Brook, Thurman, and Garcia. Kell, Keith, and DSG all blast himComment

Ya I can understand that.
Mike Arnoutis was pretty good though. I sat ringside for a few of his fights and I was thoroughly impressed.
But these guys at the highest level. There naturally physically strong dudes. Mike found that out every time he tried to step up and got crushed.
Another guy on that level would be Vernon Paris. He looked like a pretty solid all around fighter. But even a older version of Zab was able to crush him.
I just don't think Vasquez will be able to handle that next level physicality, but well see.Comment

Been very impressed with him, he's got very good skill and he can fight in the pocket. He's going to be very hard to beat. I'd like to see him in there with Chaves next.Comment

I think he's better than Arnoutis, but you make a good point about physicality as you move up in the ranks. He has a nice style, pretty solid, I like him a lot....he has more flash than Arnoutis and Paris probably but nothing is leaping off the screen in the way that some prospects can. He's not even really a prospect in the traditional sense he seems more like a late-bloomer in boxing, I don't really know how to classify him. He was not as fast as I had hoped seeing him live on Saturday.
Who would win Vasquez or that version of Zab that Paris fought?Comment
