Zaveck should fight Berto on HBO.

But Berto doesn't accept challenges from welterweights, only junior welterweights.

And Greenburg would try to have Jan fight someone he's more likely to lose to, such as a boxer at 160 or 154 like Sergio Martinez.

Zaveck's best bet then is to remain in Europe and his promoters try to arrange a fight with Senchenko.

Tipical euro bomb. How beating Delgado means anything?? If he wants to fight in america he just needs to go to america

All the people calling him "overprotected" in my thread yesterday can suck it.

I agree with Tunney that Berto/Zavec would be an excellent fight, one Berto would be the strong favorite in, but a great fight nonetheless. HBO has specifically passed the fight up already though.

Dejan's intentions are in the right place in wanting to fight the biggest name welterweights, but Zavec is nobody in America and I don't knwo what matchup would make be worth coming to America for if not against another belt holder.

I hope Dejan does fight on HBO at least once before he retires, which is in two years (he's already well into his 30s)

fraud! delgado is a bum of the highest order. name dropping mayweather, mosley HAHAHAHA....not even best in europe at 147. hand the belt back and earn a ranking.

Delgado win leads to nothing. Nobody in America will take notice. Zaveck should look to fight a guy like Malignaggi (who will want this fight) to make a start at getting noticed in America. Saul Alvarez would be a fight as well.

It won't really get him much attention in the states but he is a good fighter and him vs Berto isn't as easy if at all a win for Berto as many would think.
