Amir Mansour Calls Out Heavyweight Division!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Frustration? Amir Mansour never knew the true meaning of the word until he tried to tried to capitalize on his March 17 victory over heavyweight hopeful Travis Kauffman.

Mansour’s unanimous 12-round decision victory in Kauffman’s Reading, PA, backyard was nationally televised (Bounce TV) but it did little to create future opportunities for the left-hander from Salem, NJ.

“You’d think I have the plague, the way the other so-called heavyweight contenders are avoiding me,” Mansour said. “Is it my breath or is it my ability? These guys call themselves fighters but when my name comes up in conversation, they act like they have a hearing problem. Why would anyone be afraid of a 44-year-old man?”

His victory over Kauffman, a fight in which he rallied down the stretch, boosted his record to 23-2-1, 16 K0s, and earned him a No. 15 slot with both the WBO and WBC. Without a fight since, the WBC lowered him to No. 21.

“Who else gets dropped six spaces that quickly,” he asked.

Regarding the win over Kauffman: “It’s a very frustrating and disappointing reality when a fight is made and the winner is said to fight the world (WBC) champion,” Mansour said. “When I fought Travis Kauffman, Deontay Wilder was willing to fight Kauffman. They were sure Kauffman would win but he didn’t. I won that fight but now Wilder doesn’t want to fight me. His last fight was against Gerald Washington, a fighter that 98 percent of the viewers thought I beat (in 2015). The fight was scored a draw. Washington went on to fight Deontay for the title.”

Masnour also talked about his 2014 one-punch knockout of iron-chinned Fred Kassi at the Sands Bethlehem.

“I received the Knockout of the Year mention against Fred Kassi, but he went on to fight Chris Arreola and walked away with a draw. Chris also had a No Contest against Kauffman, a fight in which he was floored. Chris went on to fight Deontay as well. It’s blatant cowardice (on Wilder’s part) if you ask me.”

“When Mansour landed in the No. 15 slot in both the WBC and the WBO, Povetkin’s people stopped answering the phone,” Peltz said.
Povetkin boxed Andriy Rudenko instead.

“Another no-name,” Mansour said, referring to Rudenko. “Then we tried to get a match in August with Dillian Whyte on the Terence Crawford card in Omaha. That went nowhere. Top Rank told us that Whyte wanted to fight a tall, right-handed guy. What a joke! I also was willing to step in on one week’s notice to fight Fres Oquendo for the WBA title in June when Shannon Briggs failed his test. The promoters canceled the show instead.”

“I am willing to fight any Top 10 heavyweight in the world,” Mansour said, “but it just seems as if all the top heavyweights are fighting bums and no-name fighters.”

Hello Dillian Whyte, if it's true, I do think Whyte is a coward and yes, I'm following Mansour for quite a while now and didn't know this.

[RScarf1]

I have an idea. Since the Oquendo vs. Briggs fight for the WBA heavyweight title was cancelled, they can use Mansour instead of Briggs. Mansour is about the same age as Briggs.

What fúckíng planet are you living on?

You’re accusing Dillian Whyte of being a “coward”, but he’s had two terrific wars against Dereck Chisora and Anthony Joshua.

Why on earth would a Brit, who is rated in the top eight of the WBC, IBF and WBO, promoted by Matchroom and has his fights broadcast by Sky Sports, travel to the US to fight Amir Mansour?

What would motivate him to accept such a bout?

I’m growing weary of reading lazy árséd búllshít unsubstantiated accusations, such as “ducking”, “coward”, “greedy”, “corruption”, and “robbery”, from vaguely casual fight fans that can’t be bothered to follow the sport at all.

We'll just have to wait and see who he fights.. Because yes, he is travelling to the US to fight. Just a question EO, who do you he will fight? Who's available to fight, that can give Whyte a tough fight. Cuz that is what Mansour can do. Give him a tough fight. No way Whyte stops Mansour. FYI, Mansour asked to fight on that card.

Also, no champion who's name is not AJ, will voluntarily pick Whyte as an opponent. He has to become a mandatory, that is my opinion. So he will most likely fight a decent ranked opponent this month. We just have to wait and see.

I’m not objecting to the idea of a bout between Amir Mansour and Dillian Whyte.

I am offended by the notion of Dillian Whyte being accused of being a “coward”. There’s no evidence whatsoever that remotely supports such a bizarrely ludicrous notion.

I just don’t see any business, career or sporting reasons for the Brit to desperately want to engage in a bout against the veteran American, who is lower ranked than himself, has only managed to gain three victories from the six bouts he’s competed in the last three years, where a victory doesn’t add any credibility to Whyte's résumé or where the fight fails to provide Dillian with a significant payday.

Do you actually follow the sport at all? Whyte is going to fight in America, he has a fight scheduled already and Mansour owns the WBC United States (USNBC) heavyweight title? If Breazeale (who was uncredebly lucky Mansour was heavely injured going into the fight) doesn't want, Andy Ruiz Jr doesn't want, Charles Martin doesn't want, and Washington doesn't want, then Mansour is one of the best options availeble?

TBH I very much doubt you actually understand what's going on in boxing at all, you don't seem to really be aware of the reality in heavyweight boxing.

The WBC got Whyte higher ranked as any other organisation out there, so the main focus is most likely the WBC belt. Wilder says no, the other guys most likely say no, Mansour clearly says yes and still Whyte seems to move on? That's or a duck, or he can get a higher rank, which he doesn't seem to be able to at this moment.


I think Mansour could go after Tyrone Spong otherwise, he's always in for a fight, despite he's not ranked by the WBC.

That doesn’t substantiate your accusation of Dillian Whyte being a “coward” and nor does it support any notion that he’s “ducking” Amir Mansour.

Fighters pick-and-choose lots of opponents for a variety of reasons… and as I’ve already said before, I just don’t see any business, career or sporting reasons for the Brit to desperately want to engage in a bout against the veteran American!

Just because Mansour doesn’t get his own way, this doesn’t mean that clueless imbeciles like yourself are automatically allowed to boldly proclaim that a fighter like Dillian Whyte is a “coward”!

[Ossyrules]

EO is right adskltl. You can't brand around coward and duck like you do.

If I ask for a fight vs mike Tyson and he doesn't get back to me, has he ducked me? That's about your logic right there

I wouldn't call it being desperate.. But he still hasn't got an opponent, unfortunately Mansour doesn't meet his requirements, that he wants a left hander. But it's his first fight in the US, no one else is available. I really can't wait to see who he fights.

[asdfjkl]

I can't wait to see Mansour vs Whyte either actually, it would be a nice fight and he's similar leveled as Deontay Wilder.

He supports fighters like a football fan supports their team. He doesn't think logically. His brain works something likes this:

"[insert favourite fighter here] has said that {insert other fighter here] is ________. I didn't know this but it must be true because why would he say it? I always thought that [_____] was a coward and it looks like it's now true. He's obviously running scared because he's not willing to fight him."

He's completely blind to the mechanics of boxing promotions and how they work. Or how rankings work. It's like that Tyrone Spong guy he bangs on about all the time. Everybody's scared of him apparently. He doesn't get that money talks. Spong is irrelevant. Nobody's heard of him, he's not on any fighter's list of opponents because their is no logical reason why he would be. Nobody knows him, nobody cares.

If Spong had a savvy promoter and if he did some high profile bad mouthing or gatecrashed other fighter's events he could make people aware - and then maybe he'd get a fight. I.e. Shannon Briggs style.

And about Spong, he's a nice guy, that's his only problem. He's a 10 times champion of the world, which makes him a guy everybody preferes to avoid. Talking bullshit is not his style. To bad he was already a pro at very young age, which made joining Olympic boxing impossible for him.

You think Whyte is a coward

Have you ever boxed a single minute in your life?

[Lackeos]

IMO, Mansour's callouts are too ambitious for where he sits in the actual, non-ABC rankings. You beat Travis Kauffman, that's nice (I'm being a little bit sarcastic and patronizing). Beating Kauffman doesn't earn you a shot at champions. He simply doesn't have the right to bemoan the types of fighters who are rejecting him. If someone in the top 15 rejects Mansour, it's because Mansour is a gnat who hasn't earned the right to be in the ring with fighters like that. If he really wants to complain about rejections of legitimate offers, he should be making offers to Helenius, Teper, Kownacki, Jarrell Miller, Ustinov, Wawrzyk, Dimitrenko, maybe even Chisora and Takam. That's the level of opponent you've earned after you beat Kauffman, and it's a list of fighters who can't simply say "I've got bigger fish to fry," because they don't. I have to imagine that Takam is just about ready to start looking for an opponent like Mansour to be the highlight of his modest comeback trail.

It's also kind of a red flag that he's trying to use his win over Fred Kassi as evidence that he deserves a shot at the top guys. Fred Kassi has never springboarded anybody into a title shot. Also, he's calling it a one-punch knockout. ... Okay? Took a lot of punches to add up to get that 7th round one-punch knockout 5 fights ago.

I know that Mansour is getting old and doesn't have a lot of time left to get paid, but he just hasn't earned it. He needs to focus on securing the best opponent that he can actually get, instead of wasting all of his focus chasing down opponents he can't get.

I have no idea what you're talking about @bad guy

@Lackeos I prefere to be honest, if you only accept fights you can't lose, while having the biggest talks out there,! then you're a coward, that's just the way it is.

@taansend, Yes I have, in fact I never lost, but that was in highschool against other 17 year olds with 0 experience. I have a very short reach somehow, so I would never make it to the top. I am quite strong btw, especially at the time. It destroyed me somehow, I was completely out of breath within a minit.
