    Fundora looked fantastic against Zoo. Dude used his length and power to dismantle his opponent. He did get clipped by some big shots and I do think Ennis and Vergil could brutally knock him out with big explosive shots. I also can see them not being able to land and getting Lubin’d.

    I think that Ortiz is capable of beating him he is tough and could get inside he goes to the body well he also has the power to hurt Fundora. Ennis is skillful but he hasn't really had a gut check yet and hard to gauge how he would do against a giant like Fundora seeing he hasn't yet fought at 154.

    Fundora was really good against Tszyu, putting in a better performance than in their first match. He used his physical abilities and reach very effectively. I think Ennis and Ortiz would both have a tough time against Fundora, but Ennis would eventually win, probably via stoppage. I'm not sure Ortiz could beat Fundora, but it would definitely be a very interesting match, I hope they can organize it.

    Two great fights

    Still haven't watched the fundors vs tim rematch which I'd like to do before making a pick

    That said I really like what I've seen from Ortiz since stepping up

    Have never and still isn't very high on Ennis being elite. He's very much beatable even with all the flash and pretend dominance he's done vs smaller opponents. There's a reason why he is always hesitant to take a real challenge and would rather push the notion that everyone is avoiding him.

    At the end of the day, if Fundora can figure out how to utilize his natural god given measurements to his advantage, he's a much tougher opponent vs anyone at 154. He has decent power and IQ, but he gets inside and allows much smaller opponents to sit in the phone booth with him when he could easily be sniping them with his range to make them respect his presence in the ring. His last fight he finally showcase some of this but often times we saw him close in, giving Timmy chances to make it a fight.......

    Vergil is great at getting inside so a Fundora match up would be fun to watch.

    Fundora is massively underrated on here.

    I’ve always been high on Fundora, picked him to beat Zoo the first fight when Zoo was at his peak.

    Right. But in retrospect, what is that worth? Could be that Boots and Vergil are also more cases of wishful thinking than potential champs, but I doubt it. I don't think Fundora beats both those guys. But who knows? I'd like to see the fights. I like all these guys. Let's get it on. :eatingburger
