LSC is highly overrated as a multi-division titlist, but money talks and he brings in more money. We'll see how this all plays out in future time.
      Figueroa isn't his mandatory.

        Nobody wants to see him against LSC - the fight we demand is VARGAS VS NAVARETTE! That one is intriguing, more so than against Figueroa!

          The case can be made he is ducking a Mexican American. One thing is for sure though, Mexicans don't duck bum Brits.

            Who is talking about the nationality of the fighter he's ducking? What does that have to do with it? Nothing. He's ducking the fight, that's all that matters.

            Mexicans don't duck Brits, hey? Zurdo and Benavidez both ducked chances to unify with Callum Smith. Canelo ducked Smith and Saunders until they had bad performances. All of a sudden, he now wants to fight them. Obviously making sure Callum is at his worst in giving him 3 weeks to train.

            Barrera, Morales and Marquez ducked Naz for years. Barrera only went after the fight when he saw the Sanchez fight. Hell, Marquez was mandatory to Naz for years but had to be stripped of the position due to him refusing to take the fight.

            Marquez ducked Khan at 140. He was offered the fight but turned it down. Khan wasn't shot so it wasn't what Marquez usually goes for.

            The only bums here however are Mexicans with them losing all over the place when at their best. Not when they're at their worst like some of our fighters. If your lot were at their worst, they'd lose every single fight they were in.

              That bum Callum Smith had no intention of ever fighting Zurdo or Benavidez.....he just waited around for the Canelo payday.....and looked ****** in the process, unwilling to actually fight.

              Lol at the Bum Naseem lies that you are still trying to push. A career UK level bum basher that go destroyed the second he faced someone real.

              Khan?! HAHAHAHAHA The only fighter a bigger joke throughout the world than Naseem is Amir Khan himself.

                This part is pure gold. The UK's greatest ever fighter, Joe Calzaghe, "legend" status is 100% dependent only him beating 2 shot fighters.

                  I was hoping this wasn't the case. Some snakey vibes going on with Vargas.

                  No matter how you twist it, he doesn't sound like a champion. More like a weasel. They gave the belt to the wrong guy.

                    1) Calzaghe isn't our greatest fighter. 2) What has Calzaghe got to do with any of this? Nothing, but you threw the strawman in there anyway. Haha. 3) Chavez is your greatest fighter and he never beat any great fighters and had a habit of quitting. 4) Hopkins wasn't shot or even close to being. Calzaghe was past his best more than he was. Age doesn't even come into it. Hopkins after the Calzaghe loss has a great resume. That tells you everything you need to know.

                      Eddie and Arum were going to sit down and get the unification made between them. Zurdo was on board. But it seems he was only on board when he thought Arum wouldn't make it. As soon as they had the meeting, Zurdo dropped the WBO title and ran to Light Heavy. You can find this information out very easily.

                      Benavidez and his team were the ones who turned it down. They said they weren't ready for those kind of fights. Again, this information is easy to come by if you search for it.

                      Sorry, but Canelo wasn't actually fighting properly at SM at that time. So you fail hard. But give me the time and date Callum ducked others? You can't, but let me see you struggle to and give me a laugh anyway.

                      The best Featherweight in the world who beat everyone around and cleaned out the division, was a domestic level fighter? Haha. Paul Ingle, who isn't even in his top 5 wins beat Jr Jones. You know, the guy that beat Barrera silly twice? Naz was so good in the minds of your actual greatest fighters in history, that they ducked for years. So they clearly didn't feel the same way as you.

                      Same with Khan. Marquez clearly wanted nothing to do with him. But if he was a nobody, why would he refuse? What was he scared of?
