Why hasn't Vergil fight for a real belt in almost 10 fkn years as a pro? He was WBO mandatory to Bud after he stopped Maurice Hooker, then came his very convenient "medical issues" and his reprieve. Crawford would have finished your boy in half the time it took to stop Shawn. Believe me.

Additionally, Ortiz is currently holding onto a WBC interim title that his team seems to be in no hurry to cash in. I appreciate Ortiz the fighter, but I don't understand why his team has shown zero desire to get Fundora into the ring. Does it not make enough money for both parties? Is Team Ortiz afraid that he would lose? Ortiz/Fundora have done their fair share to stall the division. That's the match-up we need, not the likes of Fundora/Thurman and Ortiz/Spence.

Bootsy got emailed the 147 title after he ducked Bud, twice. Stannionis beat Butaev for an interim, rhen was emailed the full title after Bud left 147. Never said Vergil fought the 3 kings.
Stanionis was undefeated and actually held a real belt at 147. Bohachuk lost twice to 74 year old Brandon Adams, and got knocked cold the first time. Vergil has a better overall resume than Boots, but please stop pretending that he's fought The Three Kings. Vergil is 28 and has never once tried to fight for a real title across two divisions. At least Boots has fought for and held real belts.
Bootsy ducked Ortiz already when he turned down Turkis offer, to fight the almighty Karen, AGAIN👍 1Comment

Yes he faked his,as you put in quotes, illness. According to you and Oregonian Ortiz has been ducking ennis for years and Ortiz is older than ennis and somehow the “eye test” means more than beating actual fighters in the ring lol. Good to know I’m debating with rookies

I never referenced an "eye test". I referenced skills. Boots clearly has more of them. Lil Vergil seems afraid to fight for a real title. Why is that?

No one believes that idiotic statement. Vergil is a year younger than Bootsy and he had a 2 year absence from the sport while his career was in limbo due to a medical condition. So Bootsy has a 3 year head start on Vergil and the best opponent on his resume is stannaois. Like cmon man. Bootsy might be a great fighter, but the truth is we really have no idea. Everybody looks great against bums. Let’s see Bootsy vs Madrimov or bohachuk(who ain’t great but is good rugged fighter). I’m just being realistic. The guy hasn’t even been in the ring with a live body. Very similar career arc to Demetrius Andrade right down to Andrade ducking the charlo fight then coming back later begging for it.👍 1Comment

If Bootsy ducks this fight then he will fight fundora next

Do you mean the FAKE "medical condition" that arose when Lil Vergil was melting down to 147 being a weight bully? He wasn't out for 2 years. I love how you jokers outright lie to support other lies.

I don't even like Boots, but I believe he'd best the brakes off Lil Vergil. And please stop mentioning Bohachuk. He just lost to 73 year old Brandon Adams again
Why won't you answer my question? Why does Lil Vergil refuse to fight for a real belt?👍 1Comment
