The guy may not be the next heavyweight champion but he is must watch tv, has serious power and a great story to go with it. He could be in some great tv fights.

I wouldn't mind some crossroads action between Amir Mansour and Malik Scott, Lucas Browne, Eddie Chambers, David Price, Alexander Ustinov, Gerald Washington, Seth Mitchell, Luis Ortiz, Ruslan Chagaev, etc.

Washington....

Speaking of Gerald Washington, what has he been up to? He needs to start fighting again and stop having long periods of inactivity.

He's fun to watch. Not sure what you mean exactly with his promoter needs to get behind him. I think with Amir's age you gotta take the best possible option within a quick decision period otherwise you risk him not maximizing his potential income in the sport. I would assume Main Events is doing exactly that.

The Cunningham fight was a classic. Best heavyweight fight on free tv in years

Could be a fan favorite if matched reasonably considering his size limits... Otherwise he is an explosive southpaw with good hands. I'd like to see him more aggressive in there even when vs better fighters (he usually is aggressive vs easy opposition and passive vs better fighters)

The state of the HW division means nobody is going to get behind him.

Only people making money at HW are the Klitscko's in Germany.

Could easily be changed with a marketing machine. No promoters in the US are willing to spend more to boost potential earnings though...they are happy with the smaller returns they are currently getting.

Breazale apparently got his ask kicked in sparring by mansour and has no desire of fighting him

Monsour is a beast. That fight with Cunnungham was the balls
