    Why waste a camp on a bull**** fight?
    This is the problem camp are the curse of boxing less fighting and more about getting into shape.

      If you're considered one of the best in the division you don't take back to back stay busy fights while turning down a rematch for a chamionship. You alos don't lie about sending the other competition offers only to he exposed when they come out and say an offer was never sent. That isn't staying busy, it's trying to con the public while you fight pies

          What the **** does him being "lineal champ" have to do with anything??? They don't owe you ****

              Right. I think Bob Arum calls the fights in between the “stay busy” fights “appearance fights”.

                  Great point about drying out and fight weight.

                    Don't call me a casual numbskull. You don't want it you don't watch it. Save your empty cans for the Wilder fight
