    He never fought Marquez, is ducking Canelo, and Triple G. All three of those fighters would beat him. Guys like Lara, Thurman, Khan, Brook, Maidana would beat him as well. For a Puerto Rican fighter, he has no pride. He should retire or at least vacate his MW belts if he isn't going to fight Triple G. He's going to end up fighting three cans to end his overrated career.

    If he fights Golovkin first then he won't be able to physically fight in fights 2 and 3.

    How are they going to find three more crippled dudes though? I just don't see where this money is gonna come from.

    Unless they plan on putting Andre Ward vs. Sean Monaghan on the undercard in MSG? But you'd have to think Ward would need a big slice of the revenue for taking such an adventure outside the Shire...I mean Oakland.

    We don't know. ROC has the resources to check the numbers if its worth it or not. Its always a gamble but I think its pretty fair.
