Anybody knows who was the fighter Rocky turned down?

I think it was Clubber Lang but then at that press conference, for the unveiling of the statue of him outside Philli Art Museum Clubber confronted him and no way was Rocky gettin disrespected infront of Adrian like that

 

Prime Lang would dominate division this days.

Maybe he should try to make a comeback.

 

You didn't know that it's you Santiago... You're boxer Mario Santiago, right? ... Rocky Juarez don't want to fight a southpaw boxer like you, on short notice when what he's training/preparing for is an orthodox boxer...

It's alright... I thought you are Mario Santiago, the southpaw boxer from Puerto Rico whom Rocky Juarez just recently turned down...
.

 

what happened to mario santiago?...after he win against luevano (in my scorecard) he suddenly became inactive

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

It seems widely forgotten that he retired and gave up his belt when Union Cane became his mandatory, Balboa clearly ducked him.

 

I assume you mean Rocky Juarez. Option #1 was Daud Yordan, who turned down the fight because he was stuck in Indonesia. Option #2 was Matt Remillard, but HBO turned him down. Option #3 was Mario Santiago, who Juarez turned down because he hadn't trained for a southpaw (which makes a lot of sense, and it's hard to blame him for that).

 

"He'll knock you into tomorrow, Rock..." - Mickey

 

I hear it was either Pac, PBF or Margarito.....

 

"Well Rock lets... Well let's put it this way. Three years ago you were supernatural. You was hard and nasty. You had this cast iron jaw. But then the worst thing happened to you that could happen to any fighter. You got civilized. Don't worry kid. You know presidents retire, generals retire, horses retire, Man o War retired, they put him out to stud. That's what you should've done, retire." - Mickey

 

Wasn't Yordan the fighter who was giving Robert Guerrero fits a few months ago?

 

"Hey, fool! You ready for another beatin'? You should've NEVER came back!" -Clubber Lang to Rocky
