WBA ranked #1 barely active, 3 fights in 4 years and ranked #1, what tha ufffck!
You know what’s really messed up about that? Dorticos’ three fights in the last four years is two more than their champion, Goulamirian, has had over that same period of time.
Fight, don’t fight – the WBA could not care less.
This guy’s wasted a ton of time. He’s had four fights in the last five years and he’s just turned 38. HOPEFULLY they can get a good year or two out him… but I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t have much left.
This is a cruiser I would like to see Jake Paul try.
I don’t think he’s THAT far gone yet but, who knows. Maybe he comes back and looks like trash and Jake Paul says having a former champion on his resume is worth the risk.
I would like to see him ko Paul. Although call me crazy….I would have liked for Paul to fight Berlanga in Puerto Rico. I think Berlanga comes in at 176 and Paul at 200. I think it would get some buzz. I am disappointed in Paul fighting Tyson. Nothing good can come from that imo.
That’s fine. I don’t have that dislike for Paul but I understand it. If I did, however, I think I’d like to see him lose to someone similar to the guys he’s been fighting. He’s essentially a novice. He fights a former world champion who isn’t completely gone, he’s supposed to get stopped.
I think he has athletic talent and I think in life he is an overachiever. Being that he is in his physical prime and is getting good training I think that is enough for him to be dangerous for a man who is a couple of years away from being a senior citizen even if Tyson is a legend. I hope I am wrong. Good chance it will not be a full real fight anyways. But I agree a man in his late 30s like the KO Dr. should be able to stop Paul without question. Berlanga might bite him. That guy has a nasty streak!
