Thread: Will Rocky Juarez ever become a world champion???

I've heard rumours about a fight with him and Chris John but he has pissed me off Rocky lately after stating how he is not a super-featherweight and he feels much more comfortable at Featherwight after the Hernandez fight and then he goes and fights Juan Manuel Marquez in which he was virtually destined to lose and just fought probbably for the $$$.

Overall whats your opinion of this guy and does he have the tools to become a world champion at Featherweight??

I'm gonna say yes.














































When JMM retires, Pac moves up in weight and Joan moves up in weight.

No. I never thought much of Juarez.

I have to vote no as well.....decent fighter with a good chin though.

Rocky is a good fighter who can hang with champs for 12 rounds. But that's it.

I don't ever see him being a champ.

He should fight Guzzy for WBO.

i remember at an interview, he refuse to be consider as a sparring partner. he says his a much better fighter to be just anybodies sparring partner. the interviewer suggested he be pacs sparring partner since his the last to fight jmm lol. either way anyone looks at it, i think it is a bad idea. rocky will help in no possible way and he'll just get pounded day in and day out. i thought the way he denied being just a sparring partner was funny

HBO has a way of keeping some guys in the spotlight when its fairly obvious that your seeing all that there is to see.
He's a nice puncher but all in all Is straight ahead & not versatile in the least.When your biggest claim to fame is a W. over Raheem........ .I just don't see It happening.But without a doubt he will get yet another title shot.

He'll get a belt eventually I'm sure. The talent pool at 130 will soon be much thinner with the departures of Pacquiao, Soto, Guzman and Marquez.

He's got a great chance of getting a belt at featherweight if he does decide to move down.

Not every world champ is of the calibre of a Marco Antonio Barrera or Juan Manuel Marquez. Against a lesser opponent Lueveno maybe he'd have a decent shot.

One good thing about Rocky Juarez.... he has a very solid amateur background.

Emanuel Steward told me so.... about 500 times.

In the pre-fight talk alone...

Rocky is a good fighter with the skills to be a world champion...sadly enough for him he is a good fighter with the skills surrounded by great fighters ...

I guess the best anaolgy would be Jerry Quarry....At any other time time in history he could have been HW champion...he justr ended up in the era of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, etc

Rocky Juarez is a limited,1 dimensional fighter who shows no desire or urgency in any of his big fights,all of which he has lost and has no plan b. He is a basic boxer with a tremendous left hook and heavy hands. He is also the Zab Judah of the lower weights. He'll get title shot after title shot,when he doesn't deserve it. He is a name in the lower weight classes,which is why he will contiune to get title shot after title shot. He will probably end up winning one. And no,I'm not a fan.

No he'll never be a champ.
He's second tier really. On the undercard of DLH-Mayweather we all saw him face a fighter he was better than. He never accelerated and went for excitement or a finish.
This is similar toi how he fights with world champs, he's there participates but never excels. Therefore he wins versus second tier guys with no real impact on the front runners.
