    Andy Cruz is ranked #1 by the WBC, #3 by the WBA, and #3 by the IBF. How much higher in the ranks do you want him to get, before Keyshawn stops marinating him?
    All those top rankings with ONLY FIVE professional fights?? What a f-kn JOKE. No one else sees this??
    They shouldn’t push Cruz too fast. Remember Lomas second professional fight agains a journeymen in Solido? He got an ass whippin. Salido wasn’t even that good.

    Cruz would have to be a damn fool to fight any belt holder with so few professional fights. No hurry anyways

    Frankly amateur fight record matters IMO for how fast a guy should get pushed as a pro but the H2H backthen isn't THAT important given that it is a totally different setting. Sure, Cruz did go 4-0 against Keyshawn 4-0 as an amateur, but if I wanted to I can make the argument that all those fights came when Keyshawn was still age 20~22 and less experienced while Cruz was a much more experienced in the amateurs and matured at age 24-26. So around the age Cruz was defeating amateur young Keyshawn, Keyshawn was defeating a professional old beltholder.

    I mean the guy that who last defeated Inoue during the amateurs when Inoue was still a teen royally failed at the pros and didn't make it to anywhere while the one who lost went on to become one of the best boxers in Japanese history and ongoing.
    Andy Cruz had to get out of Cuba to be a pro. That is obviously not easy to do and took some time.

    Lomachenko asked to be pushed fast as a pro and many people didn’t have a problem with it. Why can’t Cruz call out Keyshawn with only 4 pro fights?

    Let me further dumb it down for you. The WBC didn't force Canelo to fight his mandatory Yildirim but that didn't stop Canelo from honoring his mandatory. The WBC protects Canelo with bogus things like "the franchise belt" so that he doesn't have to take a loss against a mandatory like Benavidez. The fact that you're defending that shows what type of pathetic Canelo fan boy you are.


    Benavidez was WBC mandatory for Canelo. Cruz is not the WBO mandatory for Davis. If you're not intelligent enough to know the difference I'm not going to waste time explaining it to you.
    The fact is the WBC didn’t order the mandatory so Canelo wasn’t obligated to fight him. No matter how much you try to dance around it.

    Just like Keyshawn isn’t obligated to fight Andy Cruz.

    The difference is I admit Canelo is ducking Benavidez. But you’re alright with Keyshawn “marinating” like a good businessman.

    So Canelo wasn’t obligated to fight him. Just like how you now claim Keyshawn is not obligated to fight Andy Cruz.

    What you actually want him to do is to fight Shakur Stevenson or Gervonta Davis to get a belt. Not get an easy one off of someone like Berinchyk.
    He could also fight Raymond Muratalla or Zaur Abdullaev for the IBF interim. Or Zepeda if he decides to skate from Shakur after he defeats Farmer in the rematch.

    Yeh I'm with you man, people putting too much emphasis on those amateur match up.
    Keyshawn has much better pro experience and is now nearing his prime. No shame losing to Cruz years ago who was older and more experienced.
    Cruz needa a couple of progressively more difficult fight over the next 12months then set up the fight!

    And as already mentioned he was 4-0 against Keyshawn in the Olympics, including in their gold medal match.

    I would bet money that Keyshawn fights someone ranked lower in his next fight.
