I know almost for a fact that bigger name advisers have reached out to him and he hasn't elected to do it.

    He can't realistically expect to face fighters that are already TV attractions. If he is attempting to make moves, he needs to take a risky fight in someone else's hometown. He should be gunning for a fight with a top prospect.
    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...
    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.
