This is why the Ghost will fail
Baby - Technical Draw
Siri - No Contest, originally a win for Siri
The Stone - No Contest
So really he hasn't beaten every man he ever fought
Also his only 2 fights at 147 was against an unknown Turkish Warrior (who later lost to Renuente) and an Andre Berto coming off a 15 month layoff after a loss to Vicious and a questionable stoppage over Mr Sympathicus plus lets not forget that he was forced out of a rematch with Vicious purely because he tested positive.
El Cepillo - Old and shot, went the distance, was able to knock the Ghost down. Dinamita stopped El Cepillo 2 years prior
Chente - Too small for 135, went the distance. The Problem and Cherry Bomb stopped him at super featherweight
The Great at 135 - Stopped by Dinamita 5 months Prior
Turkish Warrior - Struggled and went the distance. Went onto lose a MD vs Renuente
Andre Berto - Coming off 15 month layoff after loss to ortiz and questionable stoppage vs Mr Sympathicus
That's the Ghost's last 5 opponents . . . and people wonder why hes being underestimated . . . . seriously . . . . .
There have been plenty of people for the Ghost to fight to be given a chance :
Dinamita - 3 common opponents, Dinamita dealt with them better
Dessert Storm - Light Weltwerweight champion / Welterweight Champion
The Great - See above
Magic man - See above
The Special One - Top Welterweight (now fighting The Great)
Josesito - Beat Vicious, recently challenged Canelo at 154
Vicious - Common Money opponent
One Time - Top Welterweight
The Siberian Rocky - Wouldn't have meant much at the time but arguably beat Dessert Storm earlier
El Chino - Stopped Renuente (who beat Turkish Warrior)
Dude could have fought any of these and if he won I would say "well hey Moneys declining, hes in with a shot" hell even if he beat the Turkish Warrior and Berto impressively I would say "anything could happen" but he didn't
He struggled with an unknown who hasn't done jack since, then has to hold and hit to knock an out of shape Berto down.
Dude i respect anyone who can fight at top level boxing . . . . hell even British level i can respect but at the end of the day the Ghost has done nothing to show he can beat Money.
If Money turns up like how were used to then were going to see a long boring UD with a few fun moments and the Ghost touching the canvas at least once.
If he shows up like he did Vs Angel (at 154 where he is a lot slower) then were just going to see a boring UD that the Ghost might win a round and everyone gets excited saying "oh Money struggled vs the Ghost because he didn't win every round"
Seriously I'm giving Money a pass on this fight because he's coming off another year layoff and is coming out of prison so we don't know what condition hell be in come fight night coming down from 154. Its a tune up fight as part of a 6 fight deal.
But the Ghost besides being Latino (lets face it the WBC hands titles out to Mexicans like candy, no racism there) and Money needs to defend the belt to make the fight more alluring to the public.
If I'm proven wrong I will gladly admit it but until then
Money UD
