Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz Jr. on next move: 'I can beat everyone in the division'

Crawford ducking ennis and Ortiz just to get denied by canelo is funny af lol

No, he won't beat everyone, but he brings it and is a warrior. Respect.

Crawford should just take this fight! I don't like seeing Crawford (and Benavidez) begging Canelo for a fight! Not a good look!

Pretty honest assessment. It's a refreshing change compared to all his unconditional fans.

He made a fan of me

Why not revisit the Tszyu fight??? Timmy doesn't want it? As soon as the forehead cut healed, Tszyu should have demanded the Ortiz Jr. fight be put back on. Vergil edged the Bohachuk fight, but by only one point at most. His late surge pulled it out for him.

No doubt that Vergil and Tim will fight. It just so happens that Vergil was busted up and needs time to recover from a brutal fight and Tim was offered a shot at the IBF title. Tim has been out of the ring for a while and wants to get back in quickly. On the other hand Turki has offered Crawford (presumably) good money to fight Vergil so everybody is jockeying for a title and the biggest payday. I don't see anyone at 154 who is scared. They all seem like warriors willing and ready to fight each other. Crawford, Ortiz, Tszyu, Bohachuk, Madrimov, Fundora are not cherry picking like Tank and Shakur fighting nobodies. It seems they are all genuinely willing to fight each other.

It's a mistake to lump Shakur with Tank. Shakur is trying to fight the best. Zepeda pulled out allegedly due to expecting baby. Tank has been predictably quiet. I would not be so sure Tim beats the Russian for the IBF belt.

I think Bohachuk more than deserves a rematch but there not gonna give him that fight again. Out of sight out of mind

Oh, Bohachuk isn't out of Ortiz's mind. He's still healing from those cuts and contusions that Serhii gave him. Virgil will be remembering that fight for a while and hoping to never see that man in the ring again.

Benavidez is no longer begging Canelo for a fight. He moved up to fight Gvodzdyk @ LHW and is waiting for the winner of Bivol vs Beterbiev. Bud just wants a retirement check from fighting Alvarez, so he can quit super rich.

Boots vs Vergil is the fight to see. Let Crawford chase his money fight for he’s on his way out.
