    Bob will never allow Stevenson to fight Lomachenko. Just like he never allowed Crawford to fight Pacquiao. Top Rank doesn't build black stars with fights against their non-black A side fighters. It never happens.

    Why sign these guys if you don't believe they can be stars and you not willing to invest in them to become stars? That **** is frustrating to me.

        The rabid Mexican fanbase on the other hand has pretty much kept boxing alive in the US.

        That's why even Floyd fought on the May 5 and September 16 weekends...both Mexican holidays.
        The black & Mexican fanbase is the biggest fanbase combined. That's why Ruiz vs Wilder is a bigger fight than any other heavyweight fight.

                Berchelt vs Valdez will sell better than any fight involving Shakur Stevenson. And the winner will go on to sell better than any fight involving Shakur Stevenson.

                It is just smarter business for Arum to do Mexican vs Mexican.

                Those simple truths aren't going to change no matter which promoter Stevenson signs with.

                  Haymon's a racist for allowing Santa Cruz to duck Gary Russell.

                    I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this was the case. Rinse and repeat
