    IIRC, Zurdo got sand in his panties over being stripped of his 168 title when he moved up. He was saying he wanted to just "test the waters" and that he still wanted his title (like he could still make the weight or some ****) I think he left over that. It's funny though, most people leave TR because Bob isn't doing anything for them. Bob was trying to push Zurdo to the moon from day 1 and make him his big mexican star.

        Didn't have this kind of bark when he was with Top Rank.

          Not sure of the circumstances, but I remember the WBO ordered a title fight (or eliminator) with Zurdo and he declined. The TR breakup soon followed

              Would you not prefer to take their belts?

                  That's because Gvozdyk, Beterbiev and Kovalev were all with Top Rank and had belts.

                  Now Zurdo is with Golden Boy where the only other LHW fighter is Tristin Kalkreuth.

                    The Bivol fight should be easy to make since both are on DAZN.

                    Let's go. No need to marinate.

                      Look we know he has been out for about a year and a half came back had one minor fight at the end of last year but I still feel if he stays active and fight top guys I see him beating the likes of Beterbiev and Canelo which is the biggest fight for him and Canelo even that Bivol fight too which he can also win as well don't count him out just yet
