“He’s always been the holdup and he will continue to be the holdup. Bob Arum doesn’t want to do business with Floyd Mayweather and he’s made that evidently clear. When everyone thought that they had an agreement a couple of years ago, I think it was Bob Arum who messed up the negotiations…It’s not about the fighters. I think the fighters really do want to fight each other. I think it’s Bob Arum. If he would get out of the way and let Todd DuBoef do his thing, I think the fight gets made. But that’s not going to happen. I think he is going to continue to be an impediment and then the fights not going to happen. Obviously the media people are going to take sides and then some are going to side with Floyd and some are going to side with Manny Pacquiao. Obviously fans of either camp are going to blame the other side, and it’s truly unfortunate that this fight may not ever happen,” stated world-class trainer Ron Frazier, who shared his thoughts on whether or not Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will ever take place, Bob Arum’s role in making it happen, and much more.

PC: Recently, James Toney went over to Russia and was pretty much blanked by Denis Lebedev. He did have an injury in the 2nd round, but being a big fan and supporter of James Toney, what would you like to see him do next?
RF: Man, I would like to see him call it a day. I know he had the injured knee, but he is 43 years old and he has put a lot of time in this game already. There is really nothing he can add to his legacy at this point anyway. Call it a day and ride off into the sunset. I know it’s hard on these guys, especially after a loss and especially if you feel you have something left and that you were hurt, but what is there left to prove? Beating up some of these lesser-known guys for these titles that don’t mean anything is really not going to add anything to a Hall of Fame career. He’s had a great career and he’s been a great fighter. It’s time to do something else; time to do something else.
