Lopez already is the next best thing out of Puerto Rico. After all, there is no other Puerto Rican of prominence out there at the moment, though the future is incredibly bright as will be displayed in the Beijing Olympics by the Arroyo brothers and Abner Cotto, Miguel's cousin. There is also Jesus Rojas, a current undefeated prospect who might eventually be better than Cotto and Lopez! As for Lopez, the best part about him is that he fights for Arum, who is developing Lopez in classic fashion as he did de la Hoya and Cotto. 2008 will be the year Lopez establishes himself in the boxing fan's consciousness.
