Comments Thread For: Segura Rejects The Challenge of Jonathan Gonzalez

[AntonTheMeh]

is it what segura needs? no,and neither does this gonzalez boy,he doesn't need that so early,he needs guys who have a winning record but at his level,he's been faced with guys who have horrible records,theres one guy on his list with a record of 1-15,let him get to 20 wins and then he should start facing top 15 guys not now,segura shouldn't waste his time here,it does nothing to him to prepare for a real war,a real fight,segura needs to face someone ranked then go after marquez/viloria winner,he's hoping it's viloria so he can get the rematch,you really think a very young prospect is going to prepare him for the winner of viloria/marquez? no way

what does it matter to you what gonzalez needs? its what he wants. and if segura has something else more lucrative, then by all means he can go and do that.

Don't really blame Segura, although this has some Donaire/Rigo similarities...

It's different, Rigo is a legendaRy amateur and now a world champion. Gonzalez needs to build his career. He's only fought D level fighters, Segura is levels beyond Gonzalez can't really compare.

well this is what he needs in order to earn something.

I cant agree with that. He is fighting a bunch of bums and have never been tested. You dont go to the top without making your way. Outside from PR, Bomba is not known. Segura have face a lot of proven opponents and he dont need Bomba. Bomba needs him, but before he can get there he needs to fight better competition.

I agree that Rigo has a legendary amateur background, but it still really isn't that different considering Gonzales also has an excellent amateur background and represented Puerto Rico in several international amateur tournaments.

Not quite true. A) Rigo a multiple Gold Medalist has had FAR more exposure on ESPN and other networks a number of times and far more exposure in general and B) has been seen by many as the greatest amateur fighter ever so with few fights, he jumped greater hurdles sooner. Gonzales needs to do it the old fashioned way.

[richardt]

Gonzales has not had a number of fights on ESPN and other networks like Rigo has and there can be no comparing at all their amatuer status, especially the gold medals. That eclipses anything more amatuer fighters ever do. Everyone knew Rigo out of the starting gate, hence, the reason he has had a number of ESPN fights and others. Gonzales, like many somewhat decorated amateurs will have to do it the longer way.....he needs to build a name.

Segra would win, IMO< but as he sais, it's a step bk and the WBO needs 2 get him out of PR vs a "name"...

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Segura lost his last fight so why not take this as a tune up

[ChampBox@PR]

b*tch knows he'll get his ass handed to him.

Gonzalez would indeed KHTFO. I dont blame Segura he would get KTFO by a no name. Funny thing is, watch him fight some cab driver as a tune up!! lol
