And you base that off of what, exactly? Also, the phrase you were looking for is a "moot point".

Thank you for the spell check it must had been close enough for you to understand what I was saying lol.

Bet money they will fight him then within 1 year. Let's put money up.

Well said. In fact, you said it better in one sentence than I managed to do in multiple paragraphs.

He is getting too much credit for the Tim KO. Tim and company got the fast track to a title with his popularity and under estimated him. I have to see more of him to gauge if he is really that good, a fight against Lubin can provide a lot.

[STREET CLEANER]

Lubin doesnt really prove much imo. But you are right in that we do need to see more of Murt to gauge him

I used to be a huge Lubin fan, he has an unreliable chin but he does have skills and decent punching power.

Sorry, Malevolent, I never bet $ on anything. If you want to keep track, though, I'm up for that. But bragging rights will have to suffice.

Thats a respectful outlook. Gamb1ing is definitely a way to get closer to the devil. I am slowing down on that demon my self.

I been watching boxing long enough to know most fighters ( after 1998) will avoid tough challenges if they other options. We were robbed of alot of potential great fights. I will be here all day listing fights we never gotten but we should had gotten.

All true statements.

I just don't think Murtazaliev will be avoided, especially since he has a belt. And I'm leaning toward Lubin winning that fight. He's 2 1/2 years younger, has a better skillset, and he had a fight in May where he went 11 rounds and got a KO, so I think he's in a good place - several years removed from the war with Fundora. Hopefully, that fight gets made and we'll find out.

[Hustle]

Y'all are trippin'.

I'm just going off the facts.

Bud aint interested and he shouldn't be
Ortiz aint interested but he should be
boots aint interested right now
fundora got bigger plans

and jermell act like he scared of everybody. He was telling bud, he need to beat errol. He vacated and didn't fight tzsyu. Then he vacated all the belts at 154. Last week he told Thurman on FaceTime he ain't a big enough fight and Thurman need to fight castano. After just telling Thurman how trash he is.

It's time for turki to fund a tournament.

154 cause it's the deepest division
160 to revive middleweight
126 to revive featherweight

My point is that none of these top guys are running scared from Bakhram and that I expect all of the top guys to beat him should they fight. As my post above this recent one states, I think Lubin is going to beat Murtazaliev. And if he doesn't, I expect the likes of Boots, Ortiz, Fundora, and Thurman to beat him because of their athletic style/all-around skill sets.

Bohachuk would be more winnable for Murtazaliev due to his style, but that would be a WAR. And Zayas would be more winnable because Xander - while very skillful - doesn't have any pop.

As for Jermell, I don't think he's in the head-space or the shape to fight anybody right now, but his excuses for not fighting Thurman are weak...if he's serious. I watched that clip. I understand why he didn't fight Tszyu as he chased that Canelo $.

The gang at 154 seems to have been fighting each other pretty well without a tournament, but it's gotten a little stagnant lately. Hopefully, that changes here in the fall. But tournaments are ALWAYS welcome. We definitely don't get enough of those.

[HisExcellency]

I for one believe the Chechen BEAST is being heavily avoided...nobody wants a piece of that. However, the 154lb division has some certified killers like Crawford, Murtaz, Ortiz & Boots who need to start fighting each other. Given that Murtaz & Crawford already have fights lined up, I'd like to see Fundora face Boots next and for Ortiz & Zayas to square off (Mexico/PR rivalry). Hopefully Boots & Ortiz can then face each other in a unification bout as will Crawford & Murtaz with the eventual winners fighting each other in a undisputed clash. Fundora vs. Madrimov would be a good fight too.

Get it done Turki!

[Smash]

well hes got a belt im sure that must mean something at least usually attracts a fight or two
