He is a former WBC Silver featherweight champion and a multiple-time world title challenger.
Juarez was known over his career for his aggressive fighting style and incredible durability.
Juarez had a lustrous amateur career with a 145–17 record, which included a 68 fight winning streak, a Featherweight Olympic silver medal and a Junior Olympic World and National gold medal.
In 1999 he won the world title at the 1999 World Amateur Boxing Championships in his home town.

A highly touted prospect, Juarez rose up the ranks with wins against Hector Velazquez, and Joe Morales.
Juarez's 10th-round knockout of Antonio Diaz was named Ring Magazine Knockout of the Year for 2003.
His first challenge came from 1996 Olympian Zahir Raheem on July 17, 2004, in which he won by controversial decision, possibly due to the fight taking place at Juarez's hometown in Houston, Texas.
Juarez's first career loss came to Humberto Soto, who was a late sub replacement to In Jin Chi.
Soto won the Interim version of the WBC featherweight title.
Juarez bounced back with back-to-back wins against Reynaldo Hurtado and Backlin Medrano and earned a shot against Mexican legend, Marco Antonio Barrera for his WBC Super featherweight title.
Juarez fought Barrera on May 20, 2006, in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Barrera used his jab to win the early rounds, but it was obvious from the start that Juarez wasn't backing down hurting Barrera's nose in the process.
During the second half of the fight Juarez took control by rocking Barrera and making him spit out his mouthpiece several times.
In a very close fight, the bout was announced originally as a draw, but later it was revealed that two of the judges scorecards had an error, as Barrera was granted the win by split decision.
Despite losing, Juarez gained notoriety by standing toe to toe with one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
Although not required by contract, Barrera and Juarez met in a rematch on September 16, this time Barrera winning comfortably on points through a unanimous decision (117-111, 115–113, 115–113).

In his fourth attempt at a title, Juarez fought Chris John to a controversial draw on February 28, 2009, in his hometown of Houston.
Most ringside observers thought John won.
The two were supposed to fight a rematch on June 27 of that year but John withdrew from the fight due to problems with his blood tests.
The rematch finally took place on September 19 and the fight was won by John.
