It's his mandatory so he has no choice really. I don't think it's that,I just think Ponce really is tired and wants a break. If the $$$ is right,somewhere down the line,Ponce would fight him again and even though I'm a fan of Daniel's,I think Gerry wins the rematch.
Man how the hell can you be a fan of Ponce de leons... He has THE most unattractive style of fighting that I've ever seen from a world champion. The guy is so fucking sloppy it's unbelievable.. I can't believe I sat through his last fight, ugliest prizefight I've watched in ages. I was begging for him to KO his opponent and get that fight over with, but it never even came close to happening, even though he throws for the fences and has wicked KO power. I don't expect Ponce will ever be in a great fight, it's almost physically impossible with how bad he is to watch. All he ever looks for is a one punch KO, and he either gets it, or you have an ugly fight. I thought Penalosa should have beaten him handily. Not to say I thought he did(thought it was very close and the scorecards were a complete joke), I mean he should have been more active and taken it to Ponce. Would like to see a rematch in the hopes that Gerry can really step it up and beat him down. However I would rather see Ponce fight the winner of Marquez Vasquez 3, just so I can see him get him ugly ass KTFO.
I totally understand what you are saying and the best part of your points is that it's true,when Ponce gets the KO,he looks superb,when he doesn't(which is not often) he all of a sudden becomes this volume puncher. I have seen about 12 of his fights and can say he has had some entertaining fights like the 1 v Caballaro(you should see that,although Ponce had his moments,he generally got his ass beaten and was swollen up), the fights with Sod Looknangymantoy or whatever his name was plus his fights with Seeger and guys of that ilk were interesting too. I don't find him boring at all except for his last fight,I actually think he's pretty entertaining to watch. He dam sure as heck has a horrible,horrible style though.Those wiiiiiide sweeping punches,no defence etc etc. but I find him interesting to watch. The guy has power heart and a chin too.

I'd favour the winner of the Rafa-Israel war over him for sure but we don't know how much those 2 will have left and if you are going to stand in front of Ponce,he is always going to have the chance to land the big punch,so imagine if beat either of those 2
