Zahir Raheem "Get me a fight or release me" Top Rank screwing another fighter

If I recall correctly he had trouble with Freitas and showed he is very beatable..... He should have made the best of that fight instead he showed no hunger in that fight...IMO

Hell, I even blamed Erik Morales for his performance against Zahir Raheem.

The best example of what a fighter should do against a "bad" matchup is do what Cassius did to
Doug Jones. Doug made Clay look like dooky, but "Ali" man'ed up and fought back even though
he looked bad doing it.

Zahir didn't do that on fight night. And I and everybody here SHOULD know that IF Raheem didn't
look good or PRESS THE ISSUE against Freitas, that he'd be hidden again. Because Raheem is the
type of fighter won needs a belt for Other fighters to accept a fight with him. Also Because WE fans treat
Raheem like shyte. We are to blame.
Is Raheem's next fight audience going to sell out?
Helll no!!! Is anyone going to drive over 10 hr's a day to see a Raheem performance?
Hell no!!! Why? Because Raheem's syle is just not entertaining lets face it. He's a Winky
Wright of his division. And Winky finally got what he deserved, a belt and it gave him the opportunity
for great matchups. And Raheem desperatelyneeded THAT belt. He didn't FIGHT for it.
Now he's hidden away again, and we got people
here WONDERING why? haha It was an UGLY fight with two fighters Freitas and Raheem not
wanting to fight. Freitas won a controversial decision on an UGLY fight, where people were
forced to score a round based on a few punches.

I'm just speaking from the TRUTH here.

So don't give me cool c's for speaking the truth. You and all of you Pretty Boy fans keep
giving me sad clickies to try to stop me!
:badass: And maybe you will. ;)
"Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!"

if you want to compare Raheem to Wright then was Freitas hsi Vargas ???

Not as exciting but most of the time Freitas didn't hold him he clocked Freitas.

I think Raheem won that fight, and being that Freitas isn't doing anything with his opportunity(retiring and unretiring) let Raheem have it

After watching the fight,I'd have to agree and although I said earlier that he is very difficult,he can be beaten imo and his excessive holding was HORRIBLE to watch!! He still deserves a shot at the other champs but he comes across as high risk and low reward..

you guys are forgeting that freitas is some what of akward fighter. he not a bum by means and his skills should be respected.
