Man am I sick of hearing this guys name on the lips of everyone from 160 to 175. I have to admit for a while I was impressed with how much he improved from the start of his career, but that's about it. The guy was coming in MASSIVE comparted to his MW opposition, got gifted a belt, decided to stop training and making weight. The only thing that doesn't bother me is the pot stuff....if a boxer wants to smoke pot who cares, it's NOT a PED.
Anyway generic opening rant over and on to the fact that he better get paid for his next fight because the guys that are mentioning his name would mangle the kid in the ring. I think his "granite chin" had a lot to do with being a couple of divisions above his opponent on fight night.
I mean lets put this into perspective-he went life and death, or 1-1, with Brian fricken Vera. Triangle theories don't generally work in boxing but come on, Vera was handled by Rosado(whom I respect, but still) It's true styles make fights, but in this triangle theory I'm basing it more on talent and maybe power. Does anyone really think Froch or GGG and the rest wouldn't kill Rosado(GGG did with the flu) and Vera?
I don't even get why Arum would be trying to hang on to this kid, his career is going to implode real soon. Well maybe Al can get him on the Garcia diet and prolong it for a bit, but next big fight he gets starched.
