    Any news on when amir is fighting next? I think he gets underrated a exciting big punching southpaw should be given more chances to box on TV.

    Kuzmin is fighting TBA on April 21 in NYC. Why didnt they try to set up a fight with Mansour ? Are the Russians afraid of Hardcore ?

    I wanna see Jennings vs Mansour. Could be a great fight

    Mansour is avoided like the plague. A very very good HW- way better than his record and has taken some Ls in suspicious circumstances.

    I thought he got done again for drugs (recreational) like pot or coke or something. that's why they couldn't do the Kuzmin rematch fight. Might be wrong on this. He's really missed some opportunities over the years - could have been set up financially by now.

    Mansour could have been a champion without his years in jail. He waisted his prime and now its to late.

    Mansour still very fresh at 47y. He was kicking Breazele's ass before the lucky stoppage and according to AJ fanboys, Brazile is top5.

    He got a lot of tv coverage before he bottled it vs Brazeale

    I feel like this guy can easily fight till he gets around 60.

    Horrendous that he's been shut out of the top 10 how he has.
    He's clearly higher level in terms of skill, chin, power and conditioning.
    He could easily be undefeated.

    Not saying he'd be a titlist, but he's definitely a top 10 guy IMO.

    Mansour has a great story, but at this point, he just isn't that good. He's not even a fringe contender. He's never beaten anyone of note, and the fact that he quit gets ignored by some of the same people who **** on other fighters for quitting. He's a 40 something year old nobody in the big scheme of things.
