    Sure but what does that have to do with what I said?
    You said he wasn’t very good, but he is the #1 contender to the WBO belt and he did beat Pedraza so I disagreed.

      Interesting. Barbosa seems to realize TR is not going to make the mando between him and Teo, so hes going elsewhere for a chance at other title fights.

      Hopefully this means Teo/Haney will be made.

      Barbosa should probably look to GBP. A fight with Ryan would give him a nice payday and boost his profile. Winnable fight too.

        Barboza is one of those fighters if his foe don't come 100% they can get beat. He is not special in any area but he is a well conditioned with solid foundations fighter.

          Teo and Ramirez both passed on fighting him. Good on Top Rank for letting him go rather than stifle his career.
