Why don't these guys at least fight under a billed name like how they did in the 1930s?

Literally leaving money on the table because casuals won't ever remember you

I wouldn't mind but wouldn't that be considered non p.c in these times - plus there's only so many decent names - i saw recently another fighter is using 'The Monster' apart from Inoue

which tougher fight has become available? He called out Adames and Lara before - nothing happened.
Dan Rafael, who kind of has his finger on matchmaking in the USA says nobody wants to see Adames vs Janibek - I'd love to see it but if promoters can't sell it then I guess we're not getting it.

This issue about Janibek being 'unknown' highlights what a brilliant job Tom Loeffler did promoting the non-English speaking Golovkin

Good points. But now he is talking about not being interested even if they did become available. Why? He could say, I'll happily beat those guys if they want to step to the plate, but he didn't. Maybe just lost in translation.

probably more a case of testosterone and pride - if you don't want to fight and have no ambition to unify then fuq you - i'll go off in another direction - too many boxers are scared of losing and the consequences (much poorer paydays) and that is down to the promoters and the boxing media who hype up undefeated fighters

Adames is calling him out. He is the one saying he isn’t interested in fighting #2’s, he’s only interested in #1’s.

But I agree with Chris Algieri, as of now Adames is #1 at 160 lbs.
