Comments Thread For: Barrera 'Bitter' About Shabranskyy Getting Title Shot Before Him

[minemax]

You are aware that Barrera was offered to fight Kovalev, and he refused, twice... I hope you knew that before typing your BS...

Barrera has never been proposed to fight Kovalev for the title.
And he explained why he had rejected those two offers:
a) not a title fight;
b) not enough money for him.

Any boxer has full right either to fight or not to fight some other boxer.
But if it's a title fight, the organization should interferer in order to prevent #2 vs #10 if #3 is ready.

I'm not even talking here about #1. Let's say that Gvozdyk and Kovalev have the same manager and they have somehow decided they shouldn't fight each other at the moment.

Shabranskyy was not offered a title fight either. Not enough money? That’s Barrera’s opinion.
Shabranskyy took the Kovalev fight for respect, to test himself, and it became a title fight later.
Had Barrera accepted the fight, it would most likely ended up being a title fight as well.
So too bad for him.
