Penalosa looking for Juanma Lopez!!!!!!!!!

[Taeth]

Through no fault of his own, except how good he is, I am getting frustrated that Lopez hasn't gotten a chance to fight Vazquez or Marquez yet.

It would help if Lopez and his people actually made an offer to Vazquez or Marquez. Saying you want to fight and actually trying to make a fight are 2 different things.

It seems to me Marquez and Vazquez are too busy fighting eachother, this is why I don't advocate people fighting eachother more than three times in a row, even three times is excessive in most cases, and these two need to let fresh blood into the mix.

I respect their wars, they were phenomenal some of the best boxing in recent years all 3 of them. As posted on numberous threads here Vazquez is awaiting surgery on his eye. He is an official Emeritus Champ like Vitali was giving him a shot to fight in an eliminator immediately following his return. The issue is he may never be the same, he has a retinal tear which is serious business and surgical repair is not a certainty.

Rafa is probably going to be out of the game for a while longer, and I doubt he will still have the reaction time he had going into the first conflict with Vazquez. Five wars in a row 2 against Mabuza and 3 against Vazquez will take there toll on anyone. 2009 will show a definate changing of the guard at 122.

Sad to hear when prime fighters are slowed down by the great ring wars ('QUEZ WARS) that they were in.

The retinal surgery that Vasquez is scheduled for will not mean an end by any means. Sugar Ray Leonard did comeback from a similar reconstructive surgery. I believe he even achieved a champion status again after it, if memory serves...

It will all be good. Good things happen to good people!

I hope your right, but Brock's career just ended because of that exact same surgery.

IMO Vazquez and Marquez are the only who i know that could give a real fight to Juanma Lopez and about Celestino Caballero probably could give a little problem just by his reach , but in this division i don't think that somebody could win Juanma ..........i really don't want underestimate all boxers in this division , but Juanma is a devastator in 122 pnds......IMO

[jackassess]

if juanma k.os peñalosa theres no doubt he will be the next big thing in boxing...

[Macho]

Well HBO offered the date of fight between Lopez vs Penalosa in April 4 09 , this could be the third defense of Juanma who has the possibility to make a unification fight with Israel Vaszquez during this summer for the WBC belt................

[Lance Uppercut]

Dan Rafael refered to Penalosa as "the asian Winky wright": meaning he difficult to make a fight with because of his r ridiculous financial demands.

[boricua]

juanma should pick up the W

Marquez and Vazquez make top money fighting each other. If Lopez really wants to fight them than his people should make them a worthwhile offer. Marquez and Vazquez both deserve top money
