He fought in January 2014, for the vacant WBO NABO light welterweight title.
He won. Then never fought again.
Everyone forgot about him, but never forgot his war with Morales im sure :lol1:
Maybe his suprise return will be Danny Garcias next opponent. :lol1:
The guy Raheem lost to next ended up fighting Juan Baby Bull Diaz for the unified lightweight titles. Diaz then went on to grab hold of three major Lightweight titles.
Raheem had a shot to make his way to the upper echelon of boxing but failed after decisioning a legend in Morales.
Lol just checked out his record anticipating he'd have over 10 losses by now, I see he is 35-3 :lol1:
Last loss was a dangerous Ali Funeka back in 2008.
Not a bad pro career at all. Many would kill for a 35-3 record and to claim a win over an ATG is icing on the cake.
If he beat a past prime Morales..then why does Manny get so much credit for beating Morales??serious question here
Because Manny knocked him out in exhilarating fashion. Not the only reason, but KOs make statements.
wasnt he on the olympic team? I cant remeber any fight of his minus the Morales bout, pretty much his only claim to fame is beating a past prime morales, I remeber I came across his myspace.

C'mon guys; Pac-Morales II was one of the most anticipated fights to make, so they went ahead with it. Arum was in the ring saying it was going to happen anyway moments after Morales lost. No one ducked anyone, the money was too big no not go ahead with it, I mean the purses for their fight had already been agreed on.
Just like Mayweather-Judah; Baldomir upset Judah, but Floyd still fought Judah next because that was the fight. Floyd fought Calos after that, and Raheem would have very very very likely got Pacquiao after Pac beat Morales, but Raheem lost his very next fight and then moved to my city (Tulsa) and began fighting on bull**** little cards at the Million Dollar Elm Casino.
From ESPN following Raheem's Upset Over Morales
Despite Raheem's upset decision over Morales, Arum claims his original plan stands. Morales and Pacquiao still will fight Jan. 21 and make $1.75 million apiece.
"This does not affect the January 21 fight," Arum said. "We're going ahead with it."
Arum is the promoter for Morales and Raheem, so why not let Raheem fight Pacquiao instead? Because Arum thinks there's more money to be made from a Morales-Pacquiao rematch.
Morales won the first fight, and Arum suspects his loss to Raheem will stoke interest among Pacquiao fans from the Philippines.
"This time the Filipinos will probably be even bullish with Pacquiao's chances. The Filipinos will be betting more money on Manny," Arum said.
Not one time did i mention the word duck.....I just explained to the guy who Raheem was..and even said i understand why the 2nd fight happened
Figures you would not know....the guy who kicked Morales's ass...and Manny still chose to fight Morales
Raheem was a one trick pony, Flash in the pan. He got lucky and beat an unmotivated morales by spoiling and crap after.
Find whatever peace you can in whatever excuse you want to make....i will simply stick to the facts of what actually happened...he kicked Morales's ass and Manny still fought Morales...He wanted revenge and it was a bigger fight so oh well...just speaking the truth

He runs a gym and is in there most of the time, working hard. As of 2013, he still had world title ambitions, but which fighter doesn't I guess. Seems in a good place mentally anyway. Not sure why the big lay-off since January.
Y'all act like Danny fights nothing but bums. Smh Rodrigo Salkalaka was the only bum he fought.

You joke about it but it wouldn't surprise me if that happened
