    lets face it he is well past he's primce for 122 and as soon as he's reflexes start slowing down it could spell the end.

    the guy has wasted the last few years rejecting figghts and changing management and losing momentum. Hope jay z gets him a payday or two before he is done

    He needs to move down to fight some real names rather than these mediocre fighters at 122. It's the worst division in boxing at the moment.

    Damn shame that 17 fights and 8 title fights is all that he's got in considering he's been a pro for 8 years and a champ for 6 of them.

    he's own fault, firing managers and rejecting fight offers.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he's actually 40+. He looks a lot older as me and I've passed the 40 mark some time ago.

    What fights did he reject. LSC, Frampton, and Quigg all rejected fights with him as did Lomachenko and Arum.

    The Flores fight will show what he still has. Not really his fault his former promoter sabotaged him while he was still signed. It became viewed as om for possible opponents to act like bitches. (LSC, Frampton, Quigg) Rigs would have pummeled all of them.

    He still hasn't fought anyone, his best win to date is a slightly past his prime and overrated donaire. He just didn't want to test himself, he never dared to be great.
