Yes, I agree, Ryan Rhodes has earned his shot. He's been sitting at or near the top for a while now and nobody gives him a shot because he is not a big name and nobody can command big money to fight him. A fight with Canelo, however, people will finally see him and he get's his chance. Anyone who calls Rhodes a 'bum' and I have seen it here on these message boards, doesn't know boxing. This guy is a bonafide top 5 contender and not an easy fight for Canelo. Alvarez may have been given the title but he doesn't have a gimme for his first defense...ryan rhoes is not an unknown fighter.
he was really flying high a while ago along with naseem hamed during his reign as f/w champ.
rhodes went into a fight at 12/0 with the then formidable otis grant who up until that point only lost to quincy taylor and there after roy jones junior and his last fight so, i wouldnt call him a nobody.
he has been like a number of boxers whom have lost thier way a little with some really unexpected losses but, its not unusual.
he rallied back on the domestic scene and has earned it so, good luck to him.Comment

Am I reading this wrong or is Schaefer still insisting that Manny is on roids?Article Link - http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&o...#ixzz1HXfTtknW
Sounds serious. But Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy and one of those named in the lawsuit, said he is not concerned.
"No, I wasn't really," said Schaefer, when asked if he was surprised the suit was not dismissed Monday. "I know that eventually the truth will come out, so I'm not worried about it because it is a bunch of BS."Comment

The drug suggestions regarding Pac were inspired by the Mayweather clan.
These rumors took deep root.
The concept that Manny uses enhancing drugs is smeared all over this site and many others like it by 'fans' who take delight in disliking Pacquiao.
This law suit, in the age of Barry Bonds, is necessary in order to hold liars accountable for their slander and actions.
Most within the boxing fraternity thought Pac would drop the suit because he did not wish the stories to gain more momentum.
Surprise.
He is not only a prize fughter.
He is a Congressman.
Both of those titles obviously mean something to him and he will defend his reputation.
Floyd just spouts liike a sewer and refuses to fight.
'Money' is unprofessional, not very smart and stagnant within his sport of choice.
A court of law will hold him accountable.
His free ride as a pound for pound great has ended.
His career as a pugilist is likely over as well.Comment

I even feel that this is one Rhodes has a good chance of winning, might be a decent bit of money to win on this fight as the odds will undoubtably be stacked against him.Yes, I agree, Ryan Rhodes has earned his shot. He's been sitting at or near the top for a while now and nobody gives him a shot because he is not a big name and nobody can command big money to fight him. A fight with Canelo, however, people will finally see him and he get's his chance. Anyone who calls Rhodes a 'bum' and I have seen it here on these message boards, doesn't know boxing. This guy is a bonafide top 5 contender and not an easy fight for Canelo. Alvarez may have been given the title but he doesn't have a gimme for his first defense...
And the talk about his 2nd to last fight was because he was messed about by the WBC and wasn't given his initial mandatory shot, so that was merely a get back in the game fight.Comment

You guys sound like fools. Co-signing little manny and his bs case. The only way Manny could of cleared his name was to take the tests. REFUSING the tests is what killed Manny's reputation. Think about it. Usain Bolt the world's fastest man. If he refused to take drug tests wouldn't everybody assume that he isn't really that fast??? Especially if the guys he was beating all agreed to take the tests? You guys talk to much with your love for a certain fighter instead of your brains! I've never heard Floyd Mayweather Jr say Pac was on roids. So he said "I've never seen someone who didn't wanna take a $50 millon drug test". So? Big deal that's FACT! And none of you guys would turn down a drug test for $50 million but yet you sit on here daily defending Pac for it. And what makes this case even more bs is that Paulie Malignaggi has said more than anyone else that Pac is on roids and even dared Pac to come sue him. And guess what no case on Paulie hmmm I wonder why? Cause Paulie doesn't have the money the others do. Manny Pacquiao is a joke and his fans are too.Comment
