Journeyman Fres Oquendo Wants Another Shot at a Title

[Sir_Jose]

Yeah but its not that difficult to outbox Tua. Nicholson was doing the exact same thing until Tua caught him and ended the fight in the 6th round. Dokiware has lost his last 2 fights. He was UD'd by Guin and KO'd in 1 by Stacy 12-3 Frazier. Izon lost his last fight to Al Cole. Etienne has a recent draw against Gilbert Martinez who I recently saw fight against Kirk Johnson, and he is just horrible. Sullivan has a recent draw with Larry Donald who most lable as a journeyman. And as for Phil Jackson, who hasn't he been loosing to recently? He's lost 7 of his last 9 fights. He took Oquendo the distance and in his fight before Oquendo Wlad KO'd him in 2, and Jackson didn't land a single punch in the first round. And I'm not sure how you would consider his fight against Harris a good win.

Oh god.Your obviously not willing to accept any answer other than the one you want. Thos guys were all solid heavyweights at the time of those fights and many people thought he beat Byrd..

hes no journeyman? he beat byrd didnt he? well not in the score cards but yea he beat byrd.

[vB Martin]

Klit is the only HW hding a belt rt now who isn't B level, so whnot give Fres another shot? He did beat Byrd, after all.

[Kimmy]

Byrd has looked very bad in his last 3 fights and could have lost all three if the judges had been a bit cruel. As for Fres, truth is he is coming off back to back losses in title fights ( and TKO loss to Ruiz ??? ). He doesn`t deserve a title match at the moment. I think he should beat a wlad Klitscko, Danny Williams or a Joe Mesi before he gets anything like a title match!

Apparently no one really realizes how much Byrd has slipped recently.

So what you're saying is that people can't mistakenly judge how good heavyweights are coming into a fight. With that logic Kali Meehan was a world class win for Rahman. Do you think that Oquendo's next fight should be a title fight? If so, why? If not, when should he get another one?

[SalvaDominicano]

everyone is getting a title shot why not oquendo? this topic is ******. u r complaining over oquendo when meehan fought for a belt. and anwyay what other heavyweights r out there to fight? the freak russian? whitaker? these guys r no where near ready so be happy that u r getting oquendo! or else u r gonna wind up watchin a bum in the ring anyway.

[phallus]

if it's not Fres getting a title shot, it's likely to be a real bum. we know Fres is at least B level, but the other guys that want to be in his place are far worse. Is Fres not enough of a bum, is it that YOU WANT TO SEE A BIGGER MISMATCH? Oquendo has looked really competitive in his alst few fights, i think he deserves a shot. Would you rather it was Larry Donald, hey, he just beat a shot Holyfield with so much brain damage he can't defend himself anymore. Maybe Neuraxis is afraid that Oquendo will beat Vitali the way he beat Byrd, but without Don King to protect the belt, Oquendo would be the WBC champ!

Who is everyone? Golota is the only other person to get back to back title shots which he also did not deserve. Meehan fought for the WBO belt, which many people don't count as being on the same level as the IBF, WBA, and WBC belts. I would have no trouble if Oquendo fought Brewster for the WBO belt. Notice how Oquendo didn't mention Brewster or the WBO belt. He said he wanted to fight Ruiz and Byrd again.

Or I don't like seeing only Don King fighters get title shots.
