    That guy doesn't really follow boxing, period.

      I'm not sure HBO would allow Amnat on their airwaves plus that would be one good way to diminish interest in the lower weights by having one of the P4P best spoiler/stinkers in the sport shown

        Dont talk, accept the fight vs Estrada.

        He has like 3 years saying "I want the fight with Estrada" yeah... But then he say "And I want 2 millions of dólars"...

        This guy is ducking Estrada... Estrada drained it was his hardest rival...

          Why not? He's fought on Hbo before and he's one of the best. I agree about him being a stinker and maybe that's why they don't want it, but imagine how great it would be seeing roman crush him? Arroyo dropped him and arguably won that fight, I think roman will not be affected by amnats spoiling and it will be an exciting fight.

          I love roman but he's got to get off this idea of getting a million for Estrada. It's unheard of in that weight class, and I'm pretty sure unprecedented. They could easily give them a total of one million, maybe 60-40 split, and then have a nice undercard.

            I'm not sure he means a Million for him but total at least that was what it was reported before plus it might just be a ploy.

            I do think Roman would KO Amnat but I'm just not sure HBO would want to risk it , I wouldn't mind it personally

                Yeah, I remember a few years ago him saying a million for them combined. I think that's very fair and acceptable. I get the feeling, now, that he's referring to that amount just for him. He's the best, most exciting, fighter and definitely deserves it, but it's just not realistic and I'd hate for the fight to never happen because of it.

                I agree I think roman ko's amnat, too. I really think he needs to fight amnat if he doesn't fight Estrada next year.

                  I have a feeling Gonzalez KO's Amnat as well. Crazy. What bothered me the worst, aside from the 1 - 2 million he is asking for, was the fact that they only plan on fighting 2, maybe 3 times next year. 3 isn't so bad, but 2? He doesn't have the luxury of the higher weight divisions. He needs to generate more buzz... He has fought two times on HBO, I doubt that's enough for him to have developed a decent sized following outside of the hardcore fans.

                      Two times is completely unacceptable Especially with the caliber he's been up against lately, aside from Viloria. I get the feeling from his interviews that he doesn't plan on fighting much longer. He seems very happy where he is in his career, which he should be, but I don't see making any bold moves if he doesn't have to.

                      Not one judge, or member, of the media thought Estrada whooped his ass. You are completely blind or ******ed and dont understand what you're watching.
