    Funny how Leo and his team didn't see a need to let the first rematch marinate but now all of a sudden marination is needed.

    Rigo can and probably would go up, let still wouldn't fight him. He changed promotional companies and begged hay on to buy him out the 2nd golden boy entered negotiations to get that fight done and his father flat out said they wont take that fight.
    Is there any fights you would be ok with Leo in??? You sure bag on him a lot???

    i mean how you gonna knock on Leo fighting Frampton who is ranked #2 (Used to be #1) and Mares #3???

    I don't see Selby or Russell taking tough fights??? Does Russell even still box??? He's had 2 fights in 3 years???

      I did think Leo and Frampton should get a fight or two in before the rematch

        I don't have a problem with him fighting Frampton. I actually think it's shady that he was given an immediate rematch, promised a rubber match and backtracked on that almost immediately. Mares I still think is damaged goods and the first fight was 1 sided so don't see a need for another.

          Please elaborate. How exactly would having a sold out crowd in a big arena for a much anticipated rubber match be too expensive to out on?

            shipping the everything over seas. The crew/gear/etc. They would have a big crowd in Texas/Cali/Vegas

                I liked the Mares 1st fight??? Leo beat Frampton pretty easily their 2nd time.

                The NY crowd was 90% for Frampton and Vegas 70% Leo. NY has a HUGE Irish population (Way more than I even imagined). Just look at Michael Conlan's fight??? Frampton didn't get robbed by any judges in Vegas. Let Frampton get a belt and then they can do it again.

                If it's in N. Ireland does Leo get to then have the fight in Mexico??? I mean what's fair is fair right???
