He wants mares because he knows that fight can't be made. Just like how he preferred Gamboa over rigo when Gamboa was not even fighting due to contract stipulations. He is and has been ducking rigo. Period !
That fight is possible. I recall Shaffer mentioning it a while back.
Is there any other country that is in a similar economical space as Cuba that medals as often ?
I am not sure but per capita you guys are doing OK, just not that high. Better than GB actually.
