He is a high quality fighter for sure, not alot of 154lbers who can convincingly prove they're better than Soro and regardless of the controversy in both fights I think Madirmov showed that. This recent win was against Kurbanov for the vacant WBA title was very impressive, too much intelligent pressure never gave him a minute to breath with well placed punches. I like what I see, and as for big names? He is there, a world titlist, someone is going to have to fight him eventually right?

I want to see this guy against everyone at 154lb. Why not make Tszyu - Madrimov?

This would be a perfect comeback opponent for Errol Spence Jr., since WBO is not going to allow him to fight Fundora for the title! If not Madrimov, then Serhii Bohachuk!

We both know Madrimov/Spence has very little chance of happening. Bohachuk has a greater chance of getting the opportunity. Spence replied to TC that he doesn't wait in lines....so that casts doubt over the Bohachuk match-up too. Bohachuk's WBC interim belt doesn't really mean anything.

Depends on what Jermell is going to do? Especially now that Spence is leaving Derrick James! If Jermell vacates, Spence gets WBC, Crawford gets WBO, and there you have it! The rematch will be even better!

Looks unlikely. Fundora and Spence will stick with PBC options. Tszyu will go after the Fundora rematch or it'll be Crawford-Tszyu for the vacant WBO.

There are good fights for him in the division but the opponents who could help him become a big name are going to prefer other options. Best case scenario is he unifies with the IBF champ, and then Saudi put up the money for him to face whoever has the other 2 belts for undisputed, but lots of reasons it might not work out that way.

Wtf knows when Jermell will return from his vacation. WBC loves to create problems: Jermell "champion in recess", Fundora "full champion", Bohachuk "interim champion", Lubin "silver champion". Spence will fight one of those four, not Madrimov. Bohachuk should be careful that he doesn't wind up like Stanionis.

He is what all these guys here are. Fundora, Mendoza, Tszyu, Lubin, Madrimov, Bohachuk, Culcay...

All these guys can beat each other. The same level.

Hes got lil name value still so probably not. Maybe Turki took a liking to him tho. That might be his best shot at a big fight. These talented guys with few fights & no name are lose lose situations for even mid level name opps a lot of the time let alone the big names. Definitely need some money guy behind them to push them up better or some luck.
