    His Irish manager Patrick Thomas says he's tried to bag a fight with every top-10 fighter in the heavyweight division to little or no avail. But despite being inactive for all of 2012 so far, he says Perez is in shape of his life ahead of trip to Germany on December 1 to face Ruslan Chagaeev.

    Mike won't be trained by Colin Morgan for this fight though, who has left Ireland and gone back to the USA.

    Yeah - Perez is still based in Cork. Trainer Colin Morgan has gone back to the USA, not Mike. Incidentally, of the other two Cork-based Cubans, super-bantamweight Alexei Acosta Collado is moving to Miami but light-heavyweight Luis Garcia will remain in Cork also.

    Good point! Theres always a distance between a manager's claims and the entire truth.
    That said,i gather Perez is more avoided than Cleverly. And brings far less to the table.

    Yeah they are. Perez is eligible for Irish citizenship from January, Luis Garcia is eligible from June next year.

    Also Thomas said that Luis Garcia & Perez were meant to fight for WBA International titles on the Froch-Mack show, but that was pulled when the Chagaev fight came up.

    Dunno why Garcia misses out because Perez got a fight elsewhere, but that's the way it goes.

    I'd like to see Fury-Perez, now that Denis Boytsov bitched out.
