Comments Thread For: Xander Zayas: I thought it was time for a world title right after Teixeira

[lilacp]

At this point of his career, Arum ain’t letting him anywhere near Fundura and Zayas knows that. Therefore he can claim he wants to fight Fundura with no repercussions and people like you gobbled that garbage up. He’s done absolutely nothing to earn the world title shot he’s receiving tonight and neither has his opponent. Remember WBO=We’re Bobs Organization. He looks good so far but anyone with a boxing IQ doesn’t consider him anything but a prospect right now.

Eh, you don't know that. There's a difference between conjecture and fact. Obviously they're building him up in classic Top Rank style, and they're not going to throw him in with the wolves yet, but I actually do think that TR saw Fundora as the weakest champ because of his vulnerability. Even with his second win against Tszyu and his better jab and use of his height, he still gets easily hit.

And I haven't heard the word prospect used to describe Zayas since a year or two ago.

You're right about the belt part tho, I will give you that.
