Promoter Dan Goossen, early riser on the LeftCoast, was up before the birds Friday morning. The head man of Goossen Tutor Promotions had two news items to offer ****************** readers.
One, Goossen said he was disappointed to report that colorful Zab Judah had to turn down a February HBO title shot against undefeated WBO welterweight champion Tall Paul Williams.
“Unfortunately, we can’t get Zab,” Goossen said. “His people said he’s got a sore hand or something. I am looking right now the best possible opponent that we can find. With Paul, it’s easy in the sense that he is willing to fight anyone out there.”
In speaking with BC's Ricardo Lois Thursday night, Goossen also mentioned Luis Collazo, Ricardo Mayorga, Carlos Quintana and Antonio Margarito as he foes he would make inquires about.
Speaking of our feathered friends, Goossen also said David Tua promoter Cedric Kushner did not speak truthfully in telling ****************** that he was insulted by a cheep, cheep offer for the Tuaman to fight Goossen’s up and comer Cristobal Arreola underneath the Williams-TBA main event.
“I did not low ball Cedric in any way,” Goossen said. “What I asked him to do was give me a number as to what it would take to get David in the ring with Arreola. I never mentioned any specific amount. Cedric told me he would not accept $150,000 but that was a figure that he came up with. I guess he just doesn’t want the fight and he should have told me that.”
Meanwhile, the Goose is on the loose prowling for a palatable Williams opponent
