    Lol they so shook they practically dying to face each other just so they can say I’ve a fight lined up or else I’d fight him lol.

    So embarrassing seeing Thurman,Porter and Garcia the other night it’s like they in their own Psy Op lol.

    You see Andre Ward wasn't exactly the bogeyman. He was the one you send to kill the ****ing bogeyman.

    Id say Spence... nobody really eager to fight him and his division is relatively loaded.

    You can't be the boogeyman if everyone wants to fight you.

    Average ESB poster be like:

    "Robert Helenius, Dmitry Pirog, Chris Eubank, Ruslan Provodnikov, Manuel Charr, Denis Lebedev, and Viktor Postol!!!"

    Well, if you surfed the forum during the time period I have, you would know I am not joking.

    Honestly the closest thing we've had to one that has maintained the label and lived up to it for all these years (****, he was a boogeyman of sorts before he fought Williams, and has been at he top of the heap ever since then)...

    Andrade's problems are similar to that of many Cuban fighters. Some level of obvious talent combined with no marketability or fan base and spoiled a few years ago with a big payday or two so he has held onto that value of himself when, really, his value has only gone downhill with time ticking the same. Lara vs. Andrade is a fight that should have happened for the last how many years now. Everybody has known it, discussed it, been plenty of threads about it, two avoided small market fighters in the same division that can't get the other top players to face them... even the fighters that are avoided by the risk/reward ratio use it, apparently. I don't dislike Andrade at all but I long rested away my hopes of him ever becoming more relevant.
