    Honestly i've never seen this 2 fight, but they are champions, hold WBO belts, and are undefeated. Not that i'm totally comparing them to calzaghe but they seem to be going the similar path as i've stated. Who do you guys think out of the 2 would be the next big star like calzaghe from europe?

    Neither.

    Erdei is quite a good fighter, very skilled and quick. But he doesnt seem to be dedicated to his craft. He could easily make 168 by the looks of it, he comes in looking soft well under the 175 mark. He has had stamina problems from the start, and he fights like Ottke only doing enough to win with a basic array of punches. He has zero power also. I think he beat sa lot of guys at 168-175 or at least give them a hard fight but he wont, he is content fighting nobodies because I seriously doubt his popularity in Germany.

    Dzinziruk goes alright, havent seen heaps of him but he is pretty boring. As is Erdei.

    Definitely no JC's here.

    since nobody talks about erdei how do you see him vs. the other champs or even the names at 175? tarver,johnson,woods,dawson,hop,cal, jones at this point?

    he seems to have a very solid and good resume however by looking at it

    He had one good win against a good fighter who had just beat a great fighter and he really hasnt done anything since.
    He really struggled against guys like Garay and Sahoune, who are ok but nothing special, especially Sahoune. He dominated most of the rest but seriously a lot of them shouldnt have been challenging for the WBO intercontinental title let alone the full strap.

    I think he probably would struggle to beat most of those names. I think Johnson would be all wrong for him if the Garay fights are anything to go by. He would probably knock off Woods in Germany based on Clinton's last performance.

    As I said he is a good fighter but with his lack of power (which is not as bad as I have made out but he doesnt go for Ko's or puts a lot on his shots most of the time), his style, his workrate I dont think the pros are for him. He seems more suited to 4x2 than 12x3.

    I saw a lot of Zsolt Erdei's fight he isn't that good he would lost vs Hopkins and Calzaghe mabye he would beat Tarver but i think he won't step up and fight's the top guy's. Not the next Calzaghe

    Sergiy Dzinziruk is very good and mabye the best light middleweight's at the moment but he is absolutely unknown even here in germany.
    His titelfight are not even main events.
    If he continues fighting guy like Carlos Nascimento and Konecny he
    will be unknown forever.

    I think Erdei will never be a big star.
    Sergiy Dzinziruk could become a star but only if he fights in the US here in germany his titelfight are not even main events.

    well it says, i didn't saw his fight with daniel santos but if he won against someone like santos then he's pretty much something. Hope somebody post a vid in youtube regarding his fight this saturday

    They wont go the same way as Calzaghe.

    Erdei thinks about retirement, because his promoter give him bums as opponents.

    Dzinziruk is romoured to leave his promotor and seeking unification fights.

    Time is running out on Erdei. He's talented, but he doesn't want to strive for greatness.

    And that's fine, but he is not longer relevant to the world scene at 175. In my mind, that belt doesn't even exist.

    Additionally, he is walking proof that the lineal belt isn't the end-all be-all, either.

    Erdei is out of the picture. He's in it just for the money in relatively easy defences now. Dzinziruk will probably get a big fight in the USA after this one. He's not young but he's very much in his prime - he's probably the best man in his division, right now. Very good fighter indeed.

    I certainly wouldn't call Thiam, Bayram, Colas and Konecny nobodies, pretty good fighters at light middleweight on the European stage.

    And Dzinziruk's win over Daniel Santos can't be disregarded.

    I think so , although Winky isn't considering a return to 154 is he ? , have I missed something ?

    Dzinzurik has a great jab and is a well schooled fighter who does everything pretty well , maybe lacks a little power at World level but he's not quite a powderpuff puncher either . In many ways he is a typical european fighter with a high guard , but he has quick hands and certainly isn't robotic .
