This guy has begun to believe his own alphabet hype. He has fought nobody and doesn't even deserve a top twenty ranking. He has been paid to step aside simply to make bigger fights. No one wants to see him fight Charlo or Tszyu.

Who is this guy?

I bet Jack Culcay beat Bakhram Murtazaliev

Bakhram Murtazaliev need to be ordered to fight for the interim IBF title been. He literally been the mandatory in the IBF for 37 months and needs to fight someone. Not these obscure journeymen on pbc untelevised undercards. It's a joke this has been allowed for so long!

Why keep accepting the step asides if your confident you would win, and become Undisputed champ @ 154?

Who you?

I am still trying to figure out who is this guy is. His last fight was a scheduled 8 rounder that doesn't call for mandatory position.

I don't think even he knows who he is.

Sto accepting step asides to suggest you’re being avoided. That’s on you!!! Now that the division is fully unified I doubt that will happen again. This happened to get the division unified. If not for the bigger fights, mell would have iced this russian

You're right about him not fighting anyone of note, and he can't be considered being avoided if he is taking step aside money. But, as far as nobody wanting to see the fight, I beg to differ. As a boxing fan I want to see the best fighting the best, as well as champions fighting their mandatories, , especially if there isn't a more lucrative option as an alternative. If champions can constantly avoid their mandatory challengers, whether they pay step aside money or just straight up duck them, why have champions and rankings to begin with?
