    Zamora could have beaten him if he racked up a few more wins, a special fighter who just didn't live up to his potential and had a meteoric rise. It is proof that not letting big fights overmarinate help promote the sport and keep it entertaining. But in the long run, if he just prepared a bit more and not taken another hefty challenge right after (Jorge Lujan), he could have achieved more out of his career instead of just beating two champions.

    I agree Allen is more of a gatekeeper than Aidos, but the latter has yet to prove where stands in 168 and probably will later in time. For now, he has mostly defeated either subpar competition and lost to a standout talent in Morrell who could probably be a world champion by now.
    Some hit their prime early others late, Zamora was good but not like Zarate. He should have take a little time off, and definitely not take on Lujan right after Zarate, Zamora was used to koing people left and right, Lujan had a granite chin. Who knows what could had happened if he took a year off. But Zarate was a beast at 118, one of the best ever at that weight.

      Tommy Hearns has 11KO as amateur. As a professionals he was one of the hardest hitters ftom ww to lhw. Go figure.

        I am not sure why Cruz's team decided to hook up with Bozy Ennis, I hold nothing against him, but he had only trained his son so far and they will likely have difficulty having any chemistry during training camp due to the language barrier.

        There is:
        -Jorge Rubio who had trained Amir Khan, Luke Campbell, and Teofimo Lopez.
        -Pedro Diaz who had trained Roamer Alexis Angulo, Ivan Baranchynk, Filip Hrgović, Guillermo Rigondeaux, and Miguel Cotto.

        It doesn't even need to be a Cuban trainers that I just mentioned, there are more viable options than Bozy Ennis in my opinion.

          I asked my self the same question, why ennis? Rubio is a heck of a Trainer, just like Pedro Diaz, Salas and Cuellar. And as you mentioned, the language barrier right off the bat worries me. Again, doesn't have to be Cuban, although that would be one of my choices, but ennis? Don't know man.
          Maybe hearns is lobbying to promote his sonhione thing for sure, money is behind it.
