delvin rodriguez

it matters cause you said it 3 months after he signed to fight for a WORLD TITLE! the competition Rodriguez has faced recently, has been anything but soft! his last 5 opponents have had a combined record of 106-6-2. thats an astonishing winning percentage of 93% he just fought shamone alvarez , a top notch contender, and then a mandatory for a world title shot. not exactly hand picked bums... but i guess for every title contender out there, theres a thousand arm chair quarterbacks to criticize..

OK...So to make your point, you mentioned Shamone Alverez!!! WOW...Need I say more. Take a look at a kid like Luis Collazo...Who was thrown in the ring with the Elites Hatton, Mosley and Berto...And in the eyes of many won two of those fights. THATS STEPPIN' IT UP!!!! There is a Young Welterweight names Antwone Smith from Miami...he's 18-1...I would love Rodriguez to fight him!!!!

dont know elites hatton, but i do know that delvin would kill for a fight with berto, or mosley.. its not that simple though, you dont just get big fights, you have to be lucky. i lived in camp with delvin for a year in NY, we had the same trainer and manager. we went to sarasota to watch berto fight on espn so delvin could look at him before he foguth him. he tried to get that fight, but berto didnt want it. delvin foguht the best fighters he could get his hands on. its not as simple as u think

Ok...So whats next after his tough loss last night?

hopefully a close split decision loss in a world title fight doesnt move him to the back of the barrell... he should still be considered a top contender
