    Herbie's a dangerous opponent for anyone at cruiserweight. Unfortunately, without a #1 ranking he'll be frozen out of the title picture.

    By the time Herbie jumps through any hoops to get the number 1 mandatory spot he will probably have to wait another 6-9 months for the fight to happen.... by this time Heribe will be 38 or so... unless he gets a shot besides a mandatory shot .. he will be too old to compete in a long distance fight... he needs a shot in the next year.... hope he gets it...

    This is what I'm saying. The WBC did Herbie wrong. His activity and his last 2 opponents (for different reasons - May for his name and the other guy for his record) should have been enough to earn him a shot. Herbie's not a young fighter who can just sit around and wait for an opportunity. Age is not on his side.

    Hide is a bit of a laughing stock on here, but you better believe none of the top fighters want him with the risk he brings

    One things for sure, whoever he fights I'm betting on the under
