Comments Thread For: Fundora Must Fight Crawford Next or Relinquish WBO Belt, Official Says

[BustedKnuckles]

I doubt Fundora is scared. Sh^t Bud was booked for Aug before Fundora was cleared to train again. Idk why Fundora should wait around til Bud fights. He should be making a fight.

And lets be honest with the money Turki is throwing around we are getting all kinds of fights being made cuz even if you are scared, out of shape, injured, past prime or matched with someone outside your division cuz the money is so nice. So if Turki wanted Bud vs Fundora we'd be getting Bud vs Fundora. Turki wanted Bud vs Madrimov tho.

Agreed. I can only assume that when Furndora replayed his fight vs Tszyu and watched the pre-cut rounds, he saw liability there. Nonetheless he doesn't seem like he's scared of fighting anybody, more like excited.

Canelo seems to want Berlanga next. And the IBF has called his mandatory too. I dunno man, I just don't see it. I see Crawford cleaning out 154 and then maybe moving up to take out Janibek.

I think Berlanga wants Berlanga next more than anyone.

I expect Scull to get next to fulfill the mando thats up. I suspect Bud vs Canelo is for Dec/early 2025 if the 5 vs 5 happens.

I think Bud will take the best opportunity he can get & if Canelo gets offered up that'll be the best opportunity he can get. He can always move back down to 154 after Canelo, win or lose, to unify 154.

Canelo clearly wants Berlanga. That's why the WBA accomodated him by moving Morrell up to 175 and trashing his "Regular" 168 belt, making Berlanga the WBA mandatory at 168 instead.

Fundora had everything go his way, he's extremely tough fighter but Tszyu is a problem for every fighter at 154. They should strip him because they stripped Tim with judging robbery. Also PBC are lame belt hoarders, take them all.

Tim wasn't robbed. He lost a close fight.

Well he'll have to trash a belt to avoid Scull then cuz the IBF doesn't usually let guys get away with avoiding mandos like other belt groups do. I don't see Berlanga happening next. I'd bet thats May 2025, again unless he drops a belt.

Whose turn in the rotation is it, though? If it's the WBA's turn the IBF will wait, if it's not they'll enforce the fight or strip him. I believe Ryder was the WBO mando, the WBC ain't gonna enforce anything. I don't think he's fought a WBA or IBF mando since he won the IBF strap off Plant.

The IBF gots a purse bid planned after a x week negotiation period so that typically means its next up.

Ig its possible they could throw Scull step aside money & put him on the next couple Canelo cards to build up his name more & then fight him in May 2025 after Berlanga in Sept & Bud in Dec/Jan tho.

I quit paying attention to belt stuff so no clue on the last mando or the order. Seems like they make that sh^t up as often as they follow the rules so I don't got the patience for it lol.

[LAchargers373]

Well, certainly before GGG broke his orbital in the fight before Errol broke the other one lol.

Even more certainly before he was horrifically attacked to the leg with a machete right after he beat Shawn Porter.

Oh **** I didn’t know about that machete attack that’s crazy. I always thought the Porter fight was his best performance

[diplo]

As to the Charlo comments, they have both shot their load way too soon, they're nothing now, they're not a big draw, should have been so much bigger but no one gives a damn about either of them anymore. Their (self) promotion has totally ******.

[Poopdick]

On one hand, i would too if i could. On the other hand, why is anyone able to? It's a farce, but money always talks.

yeah it's sad really. nobody gonna remember any of these guys 5 years after retirement. Just hype jobs on ppv that get no buys.
