    he's like the middleweight version of John Ruiz. if you get enough titleshots, odds are you win a few :!:

    He was robbed in his last fight, so I don't find it to be a big deal, but I would have liked to have seen someone else get a shot. Imagine, Soliman vs. Golovkin.......

    what r u talking about?

    except for his last fight in which he was robbed, he has lost one fight which was a title fight and he was the one who held it, in his last 10 fights.

    Yup, he may be old and not very well liked, but he lost a title recently by injury. It's normal that he be given a shot at earning another crack at it.

    He's collected 10 stamps on his loyalty card so he gets a free-be

    He didn't lose to Wade. It was a disgusting robbery, and yeah, he deserves the eliminator more than Wade.

    I didn't give Wade a round in the match, it was a repulsive robbery.

    Much much worse examples of repeat title shots than Soliman. He's one of those guys who will actually end up being slightly underrated, I'm guessing...
