One thing that is for sure...he looks on the downslide and he really should have considered retirement much more than he obviously has!!

Lets face it...if he thinks he can move up and then take on the Likes of Mosley,Cotto or Margacheato after a Forbes win and do well in the division he is deluded!

A fight against the likes of Bradley or Witter would have made more sense to me especially if Junior takes the WBC belt he is fighting for...so that takes me back to the start of my post..is he weight drained fighting at 140 and he's holding on!


That would be an understatement. He'd get hurt less standing in front of a train than fighting those guys. Margarita' would make him look like some pizza dough with tomato sauce thrown all over it

I know what will be said; but I'd still like to see him fight Juan Diaz or Katsidis. All he's going to do now by fighting{and possibly losing}to guys like Forbes is diminish his career even more, win or lose.
