Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Interested in Making Vergil Ortiz vs. Terence Crawford Title Fight

[Combat Talk Radio]

Cashing him out already? As others have commented, it's too early for this type of fight in his career. I'd like to see him have two or three fights against top level competition then match him against Crawford.

I don't get this.

Crawford hasn't faced ANY "top" competition; NSB wants to rush him to Spence.

Lopez just got done beating Lomachenko.

But Virgil Ortiz, the WBA Gold champion, isn't ready for Crawford?

I swear man, the hypocrisy is rampant around here.

Oscar is a weirdo, he always trying to ruin what he has. Is Vergil the top contender out there right now? yes and I think he will become the man at 147 eventually but the keyword is eventually. Let him work his way to the top instead of forcing his time. Get him Thurman, Get him Vargas, and than if he gets those W's push for Ugas, Porter, Garcia and if he gets those W, go after the top dogs. Going from Maurico/Orozco to Crawford is a big leap.

Goldenboy is SEARS right now...

Bills need to get paid. The young guns have to replace the 10 million Canelo was due to bring in yearly.

Make it happen at least now Crawford can face someone with a chance of dethroning him!

What the *** is the WBA GOLD belt???

I thought Virgil Ortiz is with MTK global

Exactly! This is the confusing apart about MTK global and why fighters are signing with them. ODLH has total control over Ortiz's career. What does MTK do again??

Ortiz would KO spud

That's how you boost your fighter's morale even if it's not true.
As opposed to "you're not ready yet for prime time."
Floyd telling Tank he's not ready for Lomachenko, for example.
Just imagine you're the fighter and your manager telling you that.

Would you rather be BSd too, at top level it pays to take notice of your strengths and weaknesses, youre thinking in terms of its a fight, just keep telling them they are unbeatable type thing.

Its not like that as to them the "fight" is a 12 round chess match, Floyd would also be telling him why he wasnt ready at the time and being a real pro Tank would understand what he needs to work on, all this stuff is creating your fighters maximum potential, remember potential is not being its the possibility of being and a good trainer must be able to recognize that.

Wouldn’t be fair to throw Crawford to the wolves like that. He’s never faced a terror like VO. Ortiz win over Herrera is better than any Crawford win.
