Why? Because he don't want to take high risk low reward fight in Thurman, when more than likely Arum is whispering in his ear saying he could make a few mill fighting Pac. fukk that, let them cholos cook
he's not the only one doing it, but still....Ghost talks so much shyt...back it up. this is one of the reasons I never liked him. he was hyped from the beginning of his career. he is a good fighter but he is bytchmade. Ghost will only fight who he wants to fight. he is a good fighter but he has always been hyped too and afforded some opportunities that others havent. he has made his rep off of being a multi division world champion when in fact he is a paper champ to the highest degree due to good management and promotion.
beat Aiken for featherweight title.....when everyone knew Aiken's first defense would be his last. Ghost's team broke their neck to get that fight.
lost to Salido...yeah, he got caught with the roids but I knew that would be a tough fight for him as soon as it was announced. went around yelling and screaming to everyone that he really didnt lose because of Salido cheating but never wanted a rematch.
won the title again against Abazi making him a two-time world champ.
beat Klassen for 130 belt. Klassen, St. Claire, Fana all held that belt...that should tell you the caliber of champion that IBF had at 130 at that time. may as well been called the South African Super Featherweight title
beat Aydin for interim 147 belt..which couldve just as easily belonged to Soto-Karass
Ghost is a really good fighter, I will never deny that...but he is a guy that goes around looking for the weakest opposition to snatch a belt from to boost his marketability. he aint walkin like he talk it. again, everyone is ducking challenges nowadays but Guerrero better not let the word duck come out of his mouth. he is always viewed as such a good guy because of his story with his wife and the holy talk and shyt. this attempt of him to leave GBP didnt surprise me in the least bit knowing his history. he's kinda like a Mexican-American version of Ward.
