    He should give another career a chance. No disrespect but boxing isn't really his thing. Unless he plans to fight lower tier comp the rest of his career.

      Never actually seen him fight, but I've always enjoyed his commentary. I'm not going to tell a man what to do with his career, but perhaps he could take a tip from Malignaggi and focus on that? He's good at it.

        Failing at the high levels at Cruiserweight does not make you ready for Heavyweights! If you cant swim in the kiddie pool, you sure as hell cant swim in the adults section.

          Sure why not? I doubt he goes far but get him in there with a couple decent HWs.

            Its not about being ready ,its about $$$$ .Im sure even a half decent match gets him a better check than any cruiser weight fight.

              finally get a chance to fight against someone to stand and trade?

              Beej - did you forget how you ran from dingaling all night? he came hunting you all night and you wanted no part ....AT cruiserweight.

              Not an action fighter at CW, even less at HW.

              Stick to commentary

                I don't see him having any success and a smaller man taking bigger punches doesn't help him. It's a lost cause.
