Comments Thread For: Valdez Ready To Move To 130: I Want Berchelt, Herring, Farmer

[BigZ44]

Valdez/Berchelt would be pure insanity, hope he doesn't jump right into that though. Get a couple fights in first and take that WBO fight with Herring. Thinking about it more though, I'm not sure how much longer Berchelt will be at 135, he might move up soon himself.

I haven’t replied on here in some time, but Oscar won’t be fighting me any time soon. He’s fighting Berchelt next. I’ll have to face my original mandatory challenge which is Lamont Roach for now.

Is this Jamal Herring?

If so it's shameful how all the top guys will avoid you. Including Berchelt.

Might want to talk to your promoter about that as both of you are even in-house with Top Rank.

You saying you're Jamel Herring? I already know Lamont Roach is next so technically he'll be mandatory for the winner of that fight. If he takes on Berchelt then I have 0 qualms with that, Berchelt is a top fighter too. Hell I just want someone quality to take on a fighting marine like you.

Yeah I find it weird that he might have responded to me. Never had a chat with a current world champ. Although if Dennis Hogan wasn't robbed that statement could've been untrue but fu.ck it I've always got time for a marine.

Folks it’s the real me. I mainly chat with people on twitter or IG but I’m a fan first. I tried to get the unification that Berchelt asked for after the Ito fight and his team refused to accept. Afterwards I heard about rumors of Oscar moving up from my promoter (Top Rank) the day before Joshua lost so I figured he’d use his position as being the WBO Featherweight Champion to face me, but again that wasn’t the case. At this point I just have to handle business with Roach, and see what’s next in the new year. I’m not claiming to be the boogie man, I’ve had my setbacks and flaws but I’m still determined to fight the best out there. At this point I hope Valdez can somehow take the WBC title so we can easily make a unification matchup in the new year.

There you are. Was wondering where you disappeared to, champ.

I don't do Twitter, I read shared tweets though. You were going back and forth with Crawford over him being excluded from the image during Pac/Thurman. I mean you know why that's happening, right?

yea man I caught a lot of attention for that lol. People think I have bad blood with Al Haymon and the PBC which is far from the truth. I still have friends that fight over there, and Errol is one of them! As a fan of the sport though, I just thought it was disrespectful to exclude a WORLD champion because he doesn’t fight on your platform. It actually made me wonder, what they feel about me, since I have a WBO world title.

The whole thing reminds me of the IBO, WBU and WBF days of yesteryear. Once could be seen on Friday and on PPV, now only really featured on the weekends or live shows and not on the top broadcasts where worldwide audiences could see these guys. IBO specifically was right there in the glory days of heavyweight boxing, now a shell of its former self, due to a lack of visibility on the big networks.

Ali Funeka, a multi-time world champion, was hardly ever seen by the boxing world because he could never win one of the "big four".

But I think people really want to understand why guys like Tim Bradley before and Crawford now wouldn't sign where the water (and the money) is flowing. Situations like MayPac where they were able to meet in the middle of the street (and there IS a street, I do agree, even though there shouldn't be, there is one...money) are rare these days.
