Goosen Ignores Reality

Add Dan Goosen to the list of promoters who will avoid reality when making statements to prop up their fighters. In an interview Goosen said the following:

"Miguel, not having that really one defining fight against a De La Hoya, or a Mayweather, but certainly raising his profile out there with victories, and a fan base."

A win over Shane Mosley, who twice beat Oscar apparently doesn't count. In terms of money Oscar is obviously a bigger fight, but the win over Mosley goes further to cementing Cotto's status as the top challenger to Mayweather. Goosen's comment is his thinly veiled attempt to get fights for Paul Williams.
