    Yep, if becoming a must-see fighter is the definition of a star, I agree.
    Who is going to fight the man from Gronzy? Keep in mind, Tim brought the name & all the money because his team convinced him he needed the belt.

    From a fighters point of view...why would any PBC fighter with a marketable name fight him for no money? As usual the IBF #1 and #2 spots are vacant and Erickson Lubin has a (somewhat) notable name but he is in it for the money. Lubin talks like he wants to fight but in the end it's all about the money.

    Kathy Duva can call him a star but in reality, unless Murtazaliev can find someone willing to lose money bankrolling his opponents, there isn't enough motivation to fight him when there are so many more lucrative options.

      Kathy doesn't have the wallet to pay anyone to fight Murtazaliev and he's not a draw. Only fanatics could pick Murtazaliev in a line up and even they can't pronounce his name. Bakhram Murtazaliev​ had a great night but one great fight only makes you Daniel Powter.

        Saw this on another sight and I was wondering if they tested for PEDs? Not saying anyone is guilty and yes the fight plan was near perfect but that doesn't explain the massive size and ability to take flush right hands from a puncher like Tim. Seems a bit suspect ...no?

          I watched the interview with Bahram. He is not going to fight anyone until after Ramadan. He needs surgery on his left hand. According to this interview, his team has already turned down a few fight offers. So, somebody doesn't care about the money. Ortiz? Fundora?

            Tim asked to be knocked out, even a bar room brawler would have had better tactics, he has mostly fought cans,

              I wouldn't say that. I think Tim has the goods but at the elite level it's hard to just steam roll the opponent and in that adversity a fighter need a corner that can help. Tim's team is not elite and his manager needs to be managed because IMO he's a sell out.

                He even looks like Beterbiev. His body and his muscles are like Beterbiev. I don't know what the technical term is and I am sure someone will correct me, but his muscles look more dense and more "wired" - exactly like Beterbiev's.

                  Ortiz isn't fighting Murtazaliev because he has nothing Virgil wants or needs and Fundora is fighting Spence for twice the money. Who ever it is that doesn't care about money is only willing to fight because they themselves are less known then Murtazaliev before the fight.

                  I wouldn't pay much attention to the call outs that never happen. Lets see who Murtazaliev actually fights.

                    You might be right about his box office appeal, but I'm talking about who I want to see.
                    And I will jump through hoops to see Murtz fight again.

                      He looks cut.
