Erdei finally steps up, challenging Fragomeni for WBC Cruiserweight Title

[JazMerkin]

Yes...he struggled with Garay,but he won...styles make fights and apparently pressure fighters aren't Erdeis thing(I guess he would have even more problems with Johnson)...he is still a very slick and crafty boxer...I don't know if he can beat the guys you mentioned above,but he will give all of them a hard time and more importantly is willing to fight them...he is internationally unknown thats why he won't get a big name fight...money...

Sorry, I just don't buy that. Erdei has had many an opportunity to chase better fights, & I actually think he's a pretty good fighter. But his level of competition is a disgrace. He has a world title belt, many guys would chase that, yet they're ducking him?? Sorry mate, but it comes down to either Erdei himself or his promoters/management. He actually is internationally known - as the kind of fighter who is killing boxing, defending a belt & taking on now real challengers. Up until this point he has shown no willingness to test himself. I give him credit for stepping up & taking on Fragomeni, but this is after 5 years. I mean Paul Murdoch was a guy who'd never fought above tomato can level convincingly & he somehow got a shot at a world title

I think if it would have gone Erdeis way he would have fought better opposition...at least we agree about the bad management of him...Erdei himself complained about it something like 1 1/2 year ago...that his management wouldn't give him better opposition(better known names),but he later backed off,apologising and saying that he wouldn't be where he is without his management...some time later it looked like Erdei would get his wish and fight Danny Green,who recently(at that time) won the light heavy title from Stipe Drews,but Green retired a bit later...
