Comments Thread For: Amir Mansour Inks Managerial Pact With Joe Hand

Maurice Harris and Gavern are D-level fighters, not ?B-level. I don't know when he fought Dominick Guinn, but Guinn was B-level five years ago. Now he is C-level at best. Monte Barrett is B-level, but I read on another site that Mansour and his team turned down a fight with Monte Barrett because he wasn't a big enough name (what a joke). Mansour has done absolutely nothing with his career, and he has no one to blame but himself.

they are all C level in my opinion. solid journeymen who can give it a decent go but really no threat to any contender... if you can't beat these guys you are not going anywhere.

I was born and raised in Delaware. Not too many intriguing fights going on at Dover Downs. Mike Stewart retired and the up and coming Tiberi's aren't leaving Delaware either for bigger fights. Thing is, the big names are going after a Klitschko even though they'd all lose. Not saying Mansour is the next Tyson, but other American fighters want no part of him. So I'd uave to point the finger at his management. They could easily get Mansour atleast on NBC so his name can get out there. Especially since alot of the NBC shows are either in Jersey or PA. Makes sense. Step up the comp!

maybe if Mansour didn't go to jail he'd be in the mix. why should any contender come running to fight a 41 year old convict who has a couple decent wins? he is in no position to make demands. he doesn't have a good enough team behind him nor has he proven anything. the wins over gavern, guinn & harris are nice but he needs a couple more regional belts to force the hand of a sanctioning body. he better get moving & stay active. he may have to take crap money to advance in the rankings.

Oh he definitely will have to take some lowball paydays if he wants those fights that will put him on the map. And I know people might not be racing to Delaware to see him fight or anything yet, but there's alot of other venues with 100 miles and some decent HW competition. You got Jennings and Witherspoon in Philly. Tony Thompson and Seth Mitchell in Baltimore. Adamek in Jersey. So there's alot of tough local opposition that would be the perfect test for someone like Mansour to get his rank up. Like you said though. Needs to step up his activity

Mansour has already tried to get fights with adamek, seth mitchell, etc. I read on his twitter that he fights on december 14 in atlantic city as the main event. Yes hes 41 but he has the energy of a younger fighter. If b hop can beat a guy thats 30 and he is 48 y cant mansour do good at 41 with 19 fights and no amateur record. Hes got the energy and power.
