Willie is a good fighter, but is a B-/C+ level at best. I don't think we will see any big wins from him.

He will be a good lipnus test for some other fighters. A gatekeeper of sorts.

For sure he'll be more of a gatekeeper to the guys who eventually fight the title holders, but idk about him not getting any big wins. I think I like his chances vs David Lemieux who's a solid top 5 guy for most I think. Although I suspect thats about the best guy I could see him beating right now.

For sure doe he's in that region where Razor Ruddock was post-Tyson L's & Dillian Whyte is right now post-Joshua L in needing to prove he can get that big win vs making a solid enough account for himself in a L. So he needs to prove he can win, not just lose in a fun way.

about time i been wondering why his promoter was soo ******.

[Eff Pandas]

I think he was having promoter issues, them getting TV dates + his own issues with them one would assume since he has left them at this point, hence him losing a year. Too many f#cking promoters either busy marinating or busy sidelining notable mfers.

Personally I'm glad to see Willie back as he's from the place I currently live, he eats at a Puerto Rican joint literally down the street from me, Cocina Latina, that I frequent. I've yet to run into him there.

Look who stopped by for lunch, our favorite boxer Willie El Mongoose Monroe! — feeling excited.

I suppose Monroe really believes his own bull. He was soundly and easily beaten by GGG, there is no doubt about that. You really have to wonder why it took him a year to come back.

Why did it take this guy so long to fight?

He actually did well for his position against GGG. If he had some serious fire power behind his punches I think he could've made the fight a lot more interesting.

I like the guys heart and willingness to try something else when something isn't working. Hopefully he found a way to go to 154, I think he'll be competitive there.
