    What do you guys think about this fight: Lucian Bute vs Zsolt Erdei at 175?

    Do you think this would be a good fight and a good matchup? Erdei, former cruiserweight champ, is coming off an exciting fight and he has been available for a while. Honestly, this is a way better matchup than Jesse Brinkley IMO, who Bute is rumored to fight next.

    FWIW Zsolt moved back down to LHW a while ago and is looking for a fight as well.

        Then you must think Bute is a joke as well.

        Erdei would be a tougher fight than anyone Bute has beaten to date.

            Face it. Zsolt's resumé is better than Bute's.

              I believe Zsolt is cruiserweight now.



              He's not bad. Watch him fight. He certainly doesn't suck.

                BTW I know Erdei is a cherry picking son of b1tch but I actually think this fight would be better than a jesse brinkley fight.

                  He is not a cruiserweight anymore, he vacated the title and Wlodarcyk beat Fragomeni to claim it.

                  Erdei will probably retire unless he gets a good offer.

                  He is ranked #2 or #3 by the WBC and would likely be the mandatory challenger to the winner of Dawson-Pascal.

                  Problem is that if Dawson wins I hardly think he will be interested in fighting Erdei and he would probably vacate his belt to fight Cloud for the IBF strap. Dawson has dropped a belt once to avoid an unpopular matchup I don't doubt that he would do it again if the WBC makes Erdei mandatory.

                    I'm quite sure that was for one fight only. He might retire now though, but if he doesn't I'm pretty sure he'll continue at 175.
