You know you’re thinking about it, he’s done so much, you got these new up and comers that people don’t know him real well… so overtime, he just wants to fight somebody that’s known, that can get people to watch and I’ve been around for a long time, he’s been around for along time, so I know where it comes. Me and Frankie have always been cool. So I got no beef,” concluded Cruz.
