Blame it on promoters. Nate was a Don king fighter.... He didn't get any good fights after the title win, but based upon his performance in every fight since beating Baby bull, he's shot and it wouldn't have mattered. Plus he's not a slick "black" fighter.
Casa would have been good, but he never had big payday fights. If he was Arum promoted, he might have gotten that fight. After Diaz, Pac fought ODH and Hatton. 2 paydays that were more than Casa's whole career.
