    Guys like Crawford and Bradley I never understood why the resigned with him. Once you had fought Pac and Vargas for the WBO top rank belt you should move to the PBC side of things cos that’s where all the competition is.

    Lopez-Gamboa was supposed to happen after Lopez fought Salido, but Salido stopped his ass and derailed plans especially since Lopez tried to avenge his defeat and ended up getting KO'd again. Up until Salido, Lopez had fought mostly meh competition and the Salido victory was supposed to push the Gamboa showdown to new heights because Gamboa schooled Salido.

    Basically, we were one fight away from Lopez-Gamboa, but Juanma couldn't hold on.

    But...

    Pacquiao-Marquez II
    Pacquiao-Marquez III
    Pacquiao-Marquez IV
    Pacquiao-De La Hoya
    Pacquiao-Hatton
    Pacquiao-Bradley
    Pacquiao-Cotto

    Donaire-Rigondeaux

    Chavez Jr.-Martinez

    All fights people said he would never in a million years make. One cash cow and two being groomed to be cash cows.

    Arum doesn't protect his guys.

    Arum did a great job with Crawford, wouldn't surprise me if he wants to return the favor.

    I think Mikey genuinely believes he saw something he could exploit with Spence, it's the only thing that makes sense to me. He honestly believes (right or wrong) that he can beat him...

    Mikey's not fighting Spence, dude. He's just using Spence's name.

    He has done a good job but what can he get Crawford now, coz all the names are on the PBC side of the road.

    I agree...I think he gets wrecked just saying I believe that he believes he can win.

    Mikey isn't afraid of anyone.

    This is boxing promoter tactics and that's all it is.

    I don’t think he is afraid either but I do wanna see him go after Loma because it’s a more competitive fight and I wanna see who is better out of these two.
