Well to say that he'll need more then being a pressure fighter to beat the elites is a bit premature IMO.
The reason I say this is because Monzon used to be a pressure fighter and who thought he would beat Nino? This unknown Argentine fighter who had never stepped foot in the US before?
Pryors pressure fighting worked throughout his whole career.
Cottos pressure fighting is working just fine up until now.

Right, but as I stated the Juans only just hit 24 yrs. of age hes still growing and IMO will eventuall be able to frame out the 140.
As a Lightweight hes pretty build I mean his body frame compared to most Lightweight is slightly bigger.

You know I used to underate Juan a lot but I gotta say the more I see him the more impressed and the more I see him improve in the ring. The kid improved his defense, his combinations keep getting better and better his accuracy is insanely good and the workrate is phenomenal.
