I personally would go with Pac-Sugar Shane. Picking up an opponent off a shutout loss and a draw with a nobody, is a terrible choice for an arguably #1 p4p fighter
one was a mandatory..and one was an ENORMOUS payday against Audley Harrison..how many of us would not have jumped at that??
on top of it being one of the worst title defenses...you could also make a case for it being a bull**** stoppage! Not once in that clip was Manfredo! Pathetic!:verysad
mandatory means about as much as big tits on an ugly woman..... mandatory to fight a guy in ruiz who had 2 wins in 7 years and inactive for nearly 2 years.....says alot..... and fraudley..... i guess anyone with no ****ing shame would jump at it
if i remember correctly, it was contractual that he had to fight Ruiz next, because he stepped aside to allow haye the shot at SNV. Plus you telling me you'd turn down £20 MILLION + against Fraudley? The boxing fans suffer, but i cant blame the righter really
that gets worse and worse and worse everytime i watch it.....OMG that ref saved manfredos life...we should all be thankful for his hair trigger stoppage :rofl
how did he step aside? ruiz fought and lost to valuev in aug 2008 for the 2nd time.... youre telling me somehow ruiz was set to fight Valuev a 3rd time after losing the first 2 without being active for 15 months when Haye fought him in nov 2009? that doesnt sound right to me
i remember reading that somewhere. ill check it out i may be wrong. But it was definitely a mandatory for Haye. If thats believable then its not that much more of a stretch that he was in line for a shot at Valuev before Haye was EDIT: found a link [url]http://www.boxnews.com.ua/en/news/5740/2009-08-26/Haye-Valuev-in-Place-To-Go-John-Ruiz-To-Step-Aside[/url]
