Whatever makes this match-up happen eventually, I'm for it. This could reach Rios vs. Alvarado levels of brutality and entertainment.
I just know better than to look forward to any match-up between PBC/TR. They're trying to see who outlasts the other. In terms of these two particular boxers, Navarrete's career is in better standing. Nava bludgeoned Valdez and is fighting Conceicao next month. Meanwhile, Fig is 7 months inactive with nothing announced, thus in danger of wasting the momentum from his victory over Magsayo. "Hoarding" implies that careers are stagnating because there's too many fighters and not enough budget/dates. TR has been keeping Navarrete busy, whereas PBC currently has Fig on the shelf. TR normally doesn't hoard their stable. Look at what recently occurred with Arnold Barboza: TR could not get him a fight with Teofimo or Ramirez, so both parties agreed to go their separate ways. https://www.ringtv.com/656118-arnold...with-top-rank/
