So, is this guy still restricted to only being able to fight in Deleware?

Ain't nobody worthwhile going to go out there to fight him.

that's embarrassing if that's the case.

this dude ought to be ashamed of himself. he's an american HW with talent and knockout power. he could have made a lot of money, regardless of whether or not he was able to win at the top level. tony thompson is a multi millionaire for f#ck's sake. he travels the world fighting for huge money. mansour is a f#cking ex con and a nobody.

it boggles my mind to think that so many of these guys would throw away an opportunity like that.

Where does it state that in the article?

Mansour is about as relevant as Kimbo Slice, he'll never fight anyone of any substance. But good luck to him nonetheless!

That's incorrect. Mansour has fought, and beat, some b level guys like Guinn, Gavern, Maurice Harris. If Kimbo faced one of those guys he'd be KTFO instantly. There's a big difference in class here

He'd been on probation sice he got released back in 2009 or whatever and couldn't leave the state. I read in an interview that when he was sent back to prison for 14 months that it was actually a blessing, because when he was released he was supposed to be able to fight outside of Delaware, but since then that hasn't happened. If he wants to fight a top ten guy, hes gonna need to be able to leave the state.

Too bad he spent his best years behind bars.

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.

Mansour beat Guinn in his 15th professional fight. I'd say that's pretty good. At 19-0 he's fought some decent comp; he hasn't beat any top contenders yet though, and at 41 years old time is not on his side.

We'll see if he can make a go at it
