Comments Thread For: Hurd: After I Punish or Stop Lara - It Makes Charlo Fight Bigger!

[Mammoth]

If Lara gets passed him then hopefully Lara-Charlo next. Hurd-Jermell would be a good fight though.

I'm starting to become more sceptical of fighter's attempting to 'clean out' a division ever since Crawford got robbed by the IBF of the honour.

Once upon a time you only needed the WBA, WBC, and IBF. Now it seems you need the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, to claim undisputed status. And before long the IBO will be the new WBO, so then it will be five belts plus the Golden boy BS belt. What's the point anymore? The Crawford situation proved it doesn't make business sense, or any sense to try and clean out a division, it becomes a pie in the sky.
Poor old GGG has been wanting to be named 'undisputed champ' for years now, but because that over-rated runner Saunders holds out with his WBO belt, GGG can't get any satisfaction.
My cynical radar tells me the sanctioning bodies keep feeding the fantasy of an undisputed champion to set up big money fights, but in reality, it makes them more money to keep a division splintered.

I think Crawford will be the last undisputed champ we will see for some time.

Hopefully this guy isn't another Andrade.

Thats the point is that he did get all the belts(Crawford),him being stripped afterwards is irrelevant esp. because he was already moving up anyways. He will be gauranteed a 1st ballot in hof now because of it. Ggg is just a paper belt champ that was gifted his belts so far,Lemules vacant ibf belt is the closest hes come to not being gifted a belt,the other 2 he was gifted by committee.

I want to see this fight asap!!! Lara needs a tough opponent as a fan I'm tired of seeing him beat up on nobodies!! Put him in with a young lion and make a entertaining fight!! Then Lara needs to fight Charlo, I understand they are friends or whatever but hekk boxing is a business and if a friend doesn't understand that they ain't really your friend. With that being said set up Hurd-Lara let them unify!!!

Straight up,that would piss me off too if he doesn't follow through with his noise of wanting the best.

Lol, i got to a point with Andrade that i don't even read anything to do with him anymore. So am hoping Hurd is the opposite of him.

[DuckAdonis]

Why not now? Jermell been called you out.

If he has a win over Lara he becomes #1 in the division and it makes the Charlo fight way bigger.

If he has a win over Charlo, it doesnt really make the Lara fight that big, because Lara-Hurd wouldnt be as hyped as Hurd-Charlo after that big win. I see his vision

[DuckAdonis]

I think him and Charlo is the bigger fight. If he can get past Lara that fight would be bigger.

I think of the Winner of WBSS in Cruiserweight as undisputed for sure.

You Hurd it here 1st that Hurd is the real elite jmw NOT Charlos(im convinced hed win vs both),im at least confident Hurd will be willing to fight the other champs right away rather than waiting on a canelo payday by fighting contenders.

Nelo is at 160 now & Jermell is at 154 & so is Hurd. Hurd is strong but he gets hit too easy. Lara outboxes him & Jermall K.O.'s Hurd. Jermall K.O.'s Hurd if he moved up to 160.
