    who's managing/promoting him.....
    he's a pretty exciting, slick fighter....IMO he has never lost a fight, and he's pretty damn good too....

    why aren't they trying to make noise with this guy, he's already slipping out of his prime, has some pretty good names on his resume, and everybody is just sleeping on him....:huh

    He lost to Frietas fair and square. He has skills but is too scared of being hit.

    On a side note, him beating Erik Morales has to be one of the biggest upsets that no one seems to talk about that occurred recently. And the way he outclassed Morales was even more shocking.

    Yeah, if you didn't know who each fighter was, you would've thought that Morales was a journeyman while Raheem was an "elite" fighter. It was a complete, one-sided boxing lesson.

    What are you talking about? :huh

    This guy lost to Juarez and Freitas. And the last time I saw him fight . . . . I fell asleep in the couch. This guy is a complete joke. :rofl :lol:

    i think he beat juarez, juarez only one because of the deductions....and the freitas fight was boring, but that's also because of popo.....

    Him and Marquez should fight each other since they both have problems getting quality opponents.

    As for Wak's initial question...chalk it up to bad management.

    Actually, I have watched him several times. He is a good boxer. He got robbed in the Juarez fight and the Popo fight was two styles that should have never been in the ring. He is championship material, but possibly bad management.

    Extremely shocked here, still remember it. Especially when he rocked Morales in the 4th or 5th.

    I wasnt shocked....I was the only person on this site that was calling that fight. I started a thread talking about how and why Raheem would beat Erik and I got 60 or 70 replies calling me everything from a dumbass to a know nothing mexican hater.

    Raheem showed us everything he was about including a guy that was fearful to finish off a wounded fighter. he should have took Erik out in about 5 rounds but he wouldnt go after him. That is the flaw that has cost him in all his loses.
