They can talk about a unification return match but because we fought first this time, last time they robbed me of a shot by saying we fought off after the mandatory date was due and it was too late. Now were set. That cant happen this time. Personally I want Geale, not out of spite though. Personally I know if I beat him I have beaten the best fighter.
Fair enough, Sam's learnt he has to make noises to get attention - after spending much of his earlier career based in the UK looking for his big break he saw how Mundine and Green gained publicity in Australia by speaking up, so you can't hold it against him when he tries it out.
Sammy beat everyone they asked in order to become the mandatory. He has done the hard yards and it is only fair that he gets first crack now. Geale knew what the deal was when he fought Sturm for the belts. Now he is trying to back out of his obligations. Is he the REAL deal or the FAKE deal?
Sam soliman did beat everyone they asked him too and is ranked #1. He'd be a fool if he wasn't trying to argue his case.
No argument there. But Soliman's priority is to get what he thinks he deserves as #1 contender, a title shot.
No, it's not 'only fair' that Sam gets a shot. He's not a world title challenger at this stage of his career. The problem is the system
