How does this truax guy keep landing high profile fights? Seems like dude keeps popping up on network tv in with name fighters.

Cos he is very beatable . This is how this BUSINESS works!!!

As long as you are "good" enough to lose to the elites you will get fights.

If you are HIGH risk and LOW reward you are avoided like the plague unless you become a mandatory contender!!

I'm from MN too and always cheer for Truax, but DeGale is a pretty tall order for him! I'll tune in and cheer for Caleb nonetheless!!!

Yet he loses to every decent opponent he faces...what recognition does he offer guys who are supposed to be top fighters at this point? There's plenty of other journeyman level fighters out there who don't get the exposure this guy does...usually for a guy in that position who is a "never was", he'd fade into obscurity after 1 loss. His manager is doing a good job.

Ramirez and DeGale are on some BS opponents next. I hope this is a lead up to a unification.
