All he ever does is talk big about how he would love to fight top level superbantams...while never actually doing it! Hugely disappointing....
LSC next fight on saturday is a bantam weight Jesus ruiz with a 33w 5L 5D record. really fighting the best and not even the same weight class. This is a joke. only way I can protest is not change channel to showtime until wilder vs stievern starts. LSC you are a joke
The boxing media needs to press him a bit about this sh!t. He gets to make all these "free" speeches naming names, calling guys out ,...but hasn't fought a SINGLE ONE. No Frampton, no rigo, no Quigg, nobody. I was excited when he first burst on the scene 2-3 years ago and expected big things from him. But nothing. Nothing! Honeymoons over, hombre, time to put up or shut up...
I actually don't think its Leo's fault I think its Haymon protecting him against his will, because he doesn't have faith in him that he can beat a Quigg Frampton Rigo or even Martinez.
They do. :huh Rafael on his blog, pretty much all the main boxing guys on Twitter. All dump on him constantly. He gets pilloried. If anything, too harshly. (when people start writing him off as just a can-crushing bum who never fought anybody, which is pretty unfairly disrespectful IMO towards Seda, Mijares, Terrazas, Malinga, and even that ****head Morel) I'm not sure where you're getting the idea he gets a free pass.
I'm not talking about blogs. I mean specifically the guys filming all those sicophantic live "interviews". Youtube and all sorts of boxing websites is full of em...LSC interviews of him blowing smoke. Guys who are face to face with him need to step up. It's like they're all dazzled by his disarming smile and winning personality. No one talking to him face to face is pointing out the stuff being said in blogs to him LIVE, face-to-face. Maybe if someone rattled his cage a bit face to face, live in public it might awaken a spark in him..awaken his inner AZTEC WARRIOR! Worth a try!
I like Cruz alot! I'd rather him fight somebody then wait around forever to get a big fight. fighting this weekend means he could possibly fight 5 times this year! mimiunm 4! Im fine with that for reals. No Matter what he will be on the May-Pac undercard for sure. then a summer fight or undercard of May-Pac 2 or Canelo-Cotto 2 or such then a fall/winter fight. we want fighters to stay more active. would you rather him fight 2 times a year and only fight 1 good fight??? Not me
It could well be a management problem, no doubt. Quigg is following a similar path. We're missing out on some great fights as a result.
lsc ain't alone - plenty of good fights to be made at super bantam, but as yet they ain't happening. if i remember correctly len, you were with me being vexed about quigg passing on galahad. boxing can be damned frustrating!
I'm even more disappointed by the mount of damage control he tries to do. "I don't want to fight Rigo, it will be boring." "I actually do want to fight Rigo, but I want to fight Mares instead." "Rigo wasn't serious about fighting me 2 weeks after his last fight." "I'm tired of people saying that I'm scared." My personal favorite: Trying to justify his constant mismatches by convincing the public that he might lose. "Ruiz has a lot of fights. He has heart and determination." "One punch can change everything in boxing." It's all down to his dad protecting him and Al Haymon enabling them. Just fight the best in your division and stop being a pu$$y. The Mares fight will always be there, win or lose against Rigo. Lose to Mares and the Rigo fight no longer makes sense.
Correct. :thumbsup But it's up to the guys with the mikes and the cameras to hold the duckers to account, an the sicophantic ain't been doing it.
