What's with these Columbians and their out-of-nowhere knock outs? We need more of them to flush out all the pretenders as of late.

He is unknown to YOU, but he is the mandatory contender to the WBC. Valero is doing what he needs to so he can win a title. It's not his fault that Pacquiao had better options.

We all know Pac is not coming back down to Lightweight, unless he is KTFO by Oscar in brutal fashion. Otherwise, it will be Valero vs Pitalua for the WBC belt. Lets see if JMM takes the easy route or goes for for unification against Campbell and the winner of this fight. Lets throw Funeka in there somewhere too.

I'd love to see Funeka again. I hope his managerial problems don't derail him.
I wonder what kind of money JMM-Campbell could be brought to the table to get that fight made. From all I've read, it doesn't seem to be promising.

All of these fighters would happily fight each other, but financial concerns and business seem to get in the way a lot of the time.
