It has always been a pleasure watching the legendary JMM in action.
Juan's problem was that he thought by beating Pacquiao, he absorbed his popularity and bargaining power. He was calling out Cotto, demanding the MW champ cut down to 147. Too bad too, I think that would have been a great matchup.Congrats champ....
It's refreshing to see more legends retire off into the sunset still with their wits and dignity, rather retiring broke or on the canvas after being KTFO by a fighter they would have killed in his prime

Honestly, I thought he was looking like shit in his last couple of fights. Going life and death with Mike Alvarado was a clue that he probably shouldn't be campaigning against guys like Keith Thurman.
People talk about that Bradley fight like it was a great thing too but he looked bad there as well. Peg legged, slow reflexes.
He probably (maybe) gave the fans more exciting high level wars in the last decade than any other fighter imo
There's room on the sexy bandwagon.
Surpised at this, i thought he retired a few years ago
Superb fighter, but as he moved up the weights he seemed a little bit 'artificial' for me...
He ended up looking liking something from WWE towards the end of his career
