    That's what's really holding him up and it's bugging man!! He's really a notch above guys like Arreola, stiverne, and even Thompson but he needs to face them in order to prove that.

    He needs to reach out to Dan Goosen or Shaw at least..

    All he needs is some exposure and rest of the Americans would realize what a gem he is..

    Amir Mansour would beat all the oridinary Euros right now...

    Faruq Saleem had a mighty good looking record for a while too....heck how would Mansour do vs Monte Barrett and the fact I even have to ask should tell you everything you need to know about the guy.

    Fine he's fun to watch, but he's small, he's light, he's old, and I think he's just a free swinger who has not met someone who isn't afraid of his power yet.

    He called out the Klitschko's not all that long ago....I mean come on, delusions of grandeur much?

    Amir is just a free swinger did u say? LMFAO U dont know what you are watching then.. Amir is a txtbook boxer-puncher with poise and high ring IQ.. He's very technical for a fighter of his size..

    HE's anything BUT a free swinger.. U are trippin

    U think Barrett would be a threat to him at this point?? haha he wouldnt.. He'd put up as much resistance as Dominc Guinn did.. Amir is ready for a real opponent, not no Barett..

    I really dont think u know who Mansour is..

    He's set to fight Maurice Harris next. He's some what similar to Barrett. Either way not much of a step up.

    I understand why Mansour called out the Klitschko's. But I'm sure he knows they don't even know he exists.

    Harris is no pushover so once Amir puts him to sleep, that should open some eyes..

    Through with the right matchmaking, Amir can be the next American hero in the HW division..

    America needs Amir

    Based on that comment, it's obvious that you havent been into Boxing for long cuz first off all, the losses on the resume dont always define a fighter..

    So you are calling Harris a pushover because of his 11 losses? smh

    There's a reason why he's labeled as the Mr. Upset .

    Come on now homie. Harris ain't a push over. But I don't see him as to much of a threat either. His best days are long gone. He couldn't even beat them UK bums in Prizefighter

    Ok so at 5'11" Amir would seem a little too short for todays HW division although at 226 and ripped as he is, he does look very strong. I think he would definitely still pose a very tough opponent.

    The main problem I have with him Finito is that he has spent most of his time in prison. Were he not to have suffered these fates, he would probably be a top contender.

    I find it difficult to pick him over Stiverne, Arreola and Thompson.

    The Delaware boxing community isn't big. It's basically run by the Tiberi's [As a short aside, Dave Tiberi beat James Toney in his prime, but was robbed of a decision back in 1992. He retired after the fight.] One of the barbers at the barbershop I went to for a while in Wilmington was friends with the Tiberis and had boxed himself a bit in the past, had it on pretty good authority that Mansour had been spoken to by a couple of big promoter's/advisers, and for a while there we speculated whether Mansour might make the move to a big time promoter. However, this was more than a year ago, and nothing has happened. It makes me think that he's not doing it. It's a bummer really.

    I think he needs to take short money to face Boystov or Hanks or someone like that, and with a win, he puts himself into the picture.
