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.

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
What were the circumstances of his leaving Top Rank? I read that TR opted not to renew their promotional contract with him and that the split was on good terms. What doesn't make sense to me is that he had the opportunity to participate in that WBO tournament for a shot at their title. I imagine it would have been him, Smith, Alvarez and Vlasov.Comment

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 yetComment
