Most sons of ex-boxers are bums, and I don't even know who the hell Tureano Johnson is. Sounds like an actor.

He's a fringe contender. I think he's the mandatory for the IBF Title which Golovkin holds

It kinda does lol Toreano fought once in the undercard of a GGG fight last year. He did not look impressive at all.

Loeffler calls the shots on his side, Arum calls the shots on Ramirez's side. Pathetic attempt.
Ear muffs, buddy? Lol. So Loeffler told Triple to tell Zurdo to build up his name. Got it. I'm not trying to shit on Triple. I'm just saying water's wet.
I'm saying the promoters/managers call the shots and your saying that an offhand comment from a fighter negates that. You lack the basic ability to comprehend simple fact patterns, seems a common affliction around here.

You stated no one at 168 wanted it and I proved you wrong. Loeffler/Triple passed on the fight using the tried and true "not-a-big-enough-name-yet" strategy after stating Zurdo would be the best option if Saunders and Canelo passed. It is what it is. Just accept it and move on to the legendary fight against Eubank Jr. Don't be a Superfan, Rimmy, and if so don the cape and tights proudly. Good attempt though. Pretty not bad.

He's a 154 pounder who will help Canelo, the middleweight champion, adjust to middleweights. Geez pay attention.

Showtime's Espinoza said that the GBP announcement for a GGG-Alvarez fight on Sept 2017 was made just "to stop the bleeding" but one which Oscar and Canelo do not really intend to make.

Sour grapes?
