J.Lo's got it and she's flaunting it -- once again.

The star continues to surprise us with her clothing as she poses for the sports-themed issue of V magazine ready to spar. The headline: The Lady Is a Champ.

Lopez is a fighter, but also a lover, as we know. "I've always felt like a tough girl from the Bronx," she says, touting her new NBC show Q'Viva: The Chosen. "But I have a soft core."

She liked the idea of posing as a pugilist for the magazine, according to V. "I can take a lot of punches and still keep going," she says. "I've been trained like a boxer to go 15 rounds."

When given her choice of groin protectors — those daunting don't-mess-with-me-anatomical cups — in black (the men's version) or red (the women's), she preferred the men's style. "I thought it was more graphic," she says, adding, "It did make me feel tougher."
