    If those three - Marquez, Diaz, and Funeka - are his options, he's going to lose his next fight. Might as well make some money doing it. I think he'll actually end up fighting Guzman and if JMM goes back to LW, he'll fight Valero or rematch Diaz.

    I feel terrible for Funeka.

    Yeah these guys are very tall and has massive reach advantage at their respective weight class but this is boxing and boxing is being classified by weight divisions. If a certain boxer can make weight in a certain division then he can definitely fight in that weight division.

    Being tall and having massive reach advantage doesn't mean these guys are unbeatable (for example Quintana vs. Williams). Yes they enjoy certain given advantages over their opponents but with proper gameplan and other boxing attributes, these guys can be beaten. Tho it takes a lot of guts to face these tall, lanky boxers. :D

    I understood Katsidis' decision not to fight Funeka.

    Yep. But no need for the bit about weight. Old story. No human system is perfect. Nature isn't perfect either, and nature makes these mother****ers all different sizes and metabolisms. Height and reach are HUGE advantages in this sport. We know this.

    It's not the fault of these mother****ers they're born freak. But like what I've said, they're not unbeatable despite being a freak of nature. All 3 guys, Williams, Funeka and Caballero has a loss or losses.

    It is just, it takes more guts and determination to face one of these tall mother****ers inside the ring. :D

    Kats has been negotiating other fights for months. It was late last year a Marquez fight was dangled in front of him as well as some other big names. My money says Kats would have something deep in the making of or else he would have taken it..
