    Its not rocket science . . . they do not bring any money to the table. Why fight Rigo, who will probably never be on HBO again for a few pesos or fight a big name and make hundreds of thousands.

    These guys box for a living

    Poor management, rude manners of Cuban handlers, distrust for non-Cubans...Castro half a century of ownage instilled that mentality in them.

    Some of those Cubans have ATG potential ...oh well

    You seem to be refuting the notion of them being ducked for other reasons JASPER.

    Lara has called out GGG who just fought Adama.
    Lara has called out Alvarez who just fought the guy Lara stopped.

    I agree with you. Wow you know your **** when your not bashing adonis:lol:

    the points you mentioned seem to be applicable to richard abril., this dude doesnt even have a promoter and is fighting in russia in his next fight. the guy is a world champion. It's truly mind boggling, it really is.

    And whens the last time Gamboa fought??? 50 cent is really doing his fighters dirty. Just uses boxing to keep himself relevant.

    its all about money kid . . . if Lara was THE CHAMP and people had no other choice to fight him to get to the next level. you may have an argument. I take your point with GGG who basically called all of boxing but ignore those fighters who have called him on this challenge.

    Even if he was the Champ he could not call of the shots if he didnt bring any money to the table.

    Lara needs Saul and GGG to make a big payday . . . they do not need him (and they would probably make less in doing so)

    Is it because Mexican-Americans are racist against Cubans?? Mexican-Americans are the biggest purchasers of boxing PPVs. Recently, trainer Robert Garcia made some remarks that were perceived as racist against Cubans.

    50 has ruined Gamboa's career . . . i feel sorry for the guy. He was the most marketable out of all the Cubans but signing with 50 was the worse thing possible

    You don't know when I'm trolling. On this occasion you was wrong to assume I was. I am in the UK. This is a forum. I am doing what you are meant to do on a forum - ask questions. I do not know the answer to the question I asked.

    I did not make up the story about Robert Garcia. Here is the thread:

    Because the general public likes to see dumb downed cheap thrilled slugging matches where as the cubans actually have good solid boxing fundamentals and skill and employ more of the sweet science, hence being dubbed "boring". The cubans destroy the mexicans and purto ricans who mostly play phone booth rockem sockem.
