    Erdei is a gifted champ who for sure is no all time great,but he could have had some decent skalps in his fight record by now if he and his damn management hadnt been so bloody content with fighting one overmatched American clubfighter after another.


    Dzindziruk is a totally different pair of shoes.He is one of the most underrated fighters of all weight divisions out there.A classy fighter with pop in his fists.Watching him do his job inside a ring is a true feast for any true box aficionado's eyes.His appeal to a casual sport fan is a bit limited though.He isnt the most feared banger who ends his fight with a spectacular ko. Whats more due to his inability to learn a foreign language and the lack of engagement on part of his promoter he is absolutely unknown outside the circle of us hardcore fans.He doesnt get any tv exposure neither in his adopted Germany nor outside of Germany.
    His appalling lack of markebility is his biggest weak spot.Money is the name of this game,and markebility is the decisive factor in that game.Dzindziruk is a classy operator,but an unknown one who doesnt collect big paychecks when entering the ring to put up one of his brilliant shows of boxing.
    He should move to the USA to showcase his skills there.Obviously his German promoter isnt ready to spend decent bucks to sign some known foe with recognisable names and good reputations.His German promoter also lacks the will to put him into the limelight.The Ukranian world champ doesnt get any meaningful tv exposure at all.

    I would like to see more of this dzinzuruk.. Gamboa was a cuban fighting his early pro career at germany and he's getting the big stage at USA now.

    I think his name is also a factor of his marketability..klitscho is easier to type and pronounce:yep

    Dzinziruk is a quality fighter, and I've picked him for a long time to unify the division, now if only his promoter got his arse in gear...

    Odo's post is an informative one, and explains his lack of progress thus far

    I'm not really high on Erdei, solid but unspectacular

    Gamboa has a contract with a very powerful box promotion which doesnt lack money for the time being.They dont hesitate to spend good bucks on their boys.
    Not only Gamboa has risen very fastly and climbed up the ranks in amazing speed but his stable mates have had careers on the fast track as well.
    A lot of money is behind Gamboa's employer Arena Box Promotion.
    Dzinziruk's promoter is a miser who just doesnt understand how to enhance Dzindziruk's markebility.
    Dzindziruk is one of the few fighters who would really do better by moving out of Germany and crossing the big pond to showcase his skills in the USA fighting for an American promoter.

    Both Dzinziruk and Erdei are very good fighters. Erdei is more boring and defensive minded while Dzinziruk is more aggressive and powerful.

    Both are protected by a promotion based solely on easy money-making called Universum Box-Promotion and that's a shame since both are on a level to compete vs. the elite.

    I think Dzinziruk has a pretty good chance vs. the other champs, beats Phillips, Alcine and an older Forrest, loses to Spinks, DLH IMO. But he's getting unmotivated as he gets bums after bums.

    Erdei was the fastest guy until Dawson's showed up. He's got a very nice jab but throws too few punches, has conditional problems so Glen would definitely catch him in the later rounds, probably TKO. He'd have a decent chance vs. Tarver but I'd pick Tarver wearing him down. 50-50 vs. today's Jones (Erdei's not there to get counterpunched like Tito). Calzaghe eats him alive, Hopkins takes away his jab and beats him up on the inside.
