Amir Mansour " Tony Thompson, Arreola, and Stiverne dont want to fight me!"

Mansour needs to take the next step now. It is already too late, but if he's going to have a prayer of landing a big money fight at heavyweight, he needs to take a risky fight against a blue chip prospect or against a tough-nosed veteran.

I'm not sure how much we can trust Jennings' chin, and same with Ruiz Jr., and Mansour appears pretty durable. I agree with Lyle, a Ruiz Jr. fight is just what the doctor ordered for Mansour. It's risky, but if he wins it, he's in the spot light.

@Rantcatrat I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that guys like Jennings and Ruiz Jr were horrible style matchups for Mansour because Jennings is very athletic and WILL stick and move for 10 rounds and who knows if Mansour can move fast enough or cut the ring down well enough to catch him? And Ruiz Jr. is big and heavy handed...I don't think a 41 year old who is that small needs to try and meet a youngster like that head on.


If Mansour wants an immediate title fight then he should go fight Tyson Fury. Fury wants a "bum of the month club" well Mansour should step it up and take the challenge. Fury is a peach of an opponent because he fights stupidly. Mansour can pour the pressure on him, land big, connect, and honestly I don't think Fury could take much power. I mean if Steve Cunningham puts you on your ass when you weren't already off balance then you're going to get super fucked up when someone with power hits you.
